The REALITY of a Barbershop Business: From Startup to Celebrity Clients with Cal & Dean
Episode 89
Welcome back to the Noble Barber Podcast! This week, Anthony sits down with two of the UK's most influential barbers, Cal Newsome and Dean Gleeson, who don't pull any punches when talking about the journey from being a working stylist to becoming a business owner. They get honest about the headaches of turning over a hundred grand and the truth behind opening your first shop in your early twenties…
They tackle the biggest myths in the industry, from the "celebrity barber" misconception to why charging your worth is more important than working for exposure. Hear their lessons learned from launching successful ventures like Cal's House of Wax product range and Dean's personal brand, Dean Gleaeon Hair. It’s all about the crucial lessons of building a strong team, finding your tribe and why having the right people around you is key to your success.
This is an ESSENTIAL for any barber who's thinking about starting their own business or just trying to navigate the industry's ever-changing landscape.
