The Barber Boom: Creating A Subculture

By Tom Chapman

This book contains well over a hundred years of barber experience and advice from inspirational barbers from around the globe. The Author, Tom Chapman is a barber, educator, ambassador, spokesperson, and founder of The Lions Barber Collective charity. He has been a part of the barbering world for over 15 years now, and intends to continue long into the future. He has travelled the world with his barbering career, has owned his own salon, and currently helps to guide aspiring barbers by running workshops and courses in his native Devon and beyond. Barbering is an industry like no other and over the past few years it has been subject to a huge resurgence. Never in its entire history has it been so popular, celebrated and respected. This book intends to find out why. Through interviews with key individuals in the industry, fellow barber Tom Chapman hopes to get their perspective on the current 'barber boom', as well as finding out the stories that led them to where they are today. Featuring interviews with well-respected barbers (including Alan Beak and The Bloody Butcher) and taking the readers all around the globe, The Barber Boom is an exploration into modern barbering culture through the eyes of those who helped craft it.
