The rule of three is demonstrated many times over – the ultimate democracy with a way to break deadlock on a vote, the number of legs on a stool to keep it balanced, and of course Bananarama! Now there’s a new one: Mentored by Menspire. Let’s explain:
Three expert mentors
Mentored By Menspire brings together the expertise of Chris Foster, Josh Lamonaca and Samuel Palmer. As expert barbers themselves, they are perfect to give barbers around the world direct access to the best advice, training and mentoring. Quite simply, Mentored By Menspire is building a community designed to grow business knowledge, technical skill and networking opportunities.
Interestingly, Mentored By Menspire claims to be the first bi-lingual platform of its kind. The three protagonists share their knowledge and expertise and every discipline they specialise in. The content is available through a single yearly membership.
How does it work?
The platform is designed for barbers at every stage of their career, from those just starting out to established names looking to grow. Award-winning barber Chris specialises in profile-building. He covers personal brand, social presence and reputation, helping barbers become known for their work rather than relying on it to speak for itself.
Global educator and Men’s Hairdresser of the Year Josh focuses on cutting, styling and finishing skills. He puts together photo shoots, while entrepreneur Samuel addresses the commercial side of the trade. This is including pricing, client retention and building a sustainable career.
Membership is a one-off fee, and gives members exclusive access to content, networking and weekly mentoring sessions.
What they say
The dynamic trio describes the platform as something they wished they had had early in their careers.
“There’s never been anywhere where barbers could go to learn from more than one mentor at this level, in one place. We’ve each built our own name doing things differently, and that’s exactly why we wanted to bring it all together and share it with the industry. Mentored by Menspire has been years in the making and we are excited to work with a community of barbers.“
“This isn’t a one-off masterclass or a single course. It’s an ongoing community, so barbers can keep coming back to it as they grow, not just take one thing away and move on. We have always had a community but this will bring everyone together to support the industry for the future.”
“Our aim is to raise standards and expertise within the barbering industry, creating an international community where barbers can support one another, share their own inspirations and become the best barbers and barbershop owners they possibly can.”
So there you are. A new trio in town who know what’s what and are willing to share. To find out more, Mentored By Menspire is available via a dedicated Menspire App and at mentoredbymenspire.com.
