Slidercuts masterclass - an up close look at afro barbering

Last Monday, over 20 aspirant barbers and entrepreneurs from across Europe joined master barber SliderCuts for a first-of-its-kind Afro hair masterclass. The class was held at the Red Rooster in Shoreditch and Mark Maciver, the man behind SliderCuts, gave attendees the inside track on how to perfect the most talked about men’s haircuts. Technique talk was also followed up with the business side of being a successful barber. Both advanced and novice barbers left with the know-how on building and managing a booming barbering brand and business. In a hairdressing industry full of insight sessions on European hair, the SliderCuts Masterclass gave attendees a unique educational glimpse into the world of Afro barbering – from hair texture and curl direction to tips on the best clippers to use on Black hair. With sponsorship from Cantu and Kurl King, attendees left armed with bags of knowledge and some of the leading products in men’s Afro hair.
