Based in the UK, HQBA is pioneering a new standard of barber and male grooming training in the UK. They are committed to cultivating opportunities within the Barber industry. Rich in industry knowledge and experience, their Principal Educator and Mentor Eric Way Lovemore strives to revolutionise the industry with a training approach that is entirely hands-on, simple but structured. By embracing this approach, graduates leave highly skilled and knowledgeable about male styling and grooming.
Eric Way Lovemore believes that investing in Education is imperative to stay relevant. His experience and qualifications stand for themselves and he has drawn on his life’s work to create a curriculum that give South African, and indeed global, students a sound footing for a successful career.
As brand ambassador, educator and artistic manager for the prestigious Head Quarters Group, Eric says, “Head Quarters is a wonderful company to be associated with and I can bring all my knowledge and experience from Groomed Academy as a training facility to help them develop and train their barbers and male grooming specialists.”
The Academy is running both online courses and in-person short courses.
Cutting and Fading
Luxury Hot Towel Shaving
Facial Waxing
Men’s Colour
They are also offering the City and Guilds NVQ Level 2 and 3 in barbering.
Eric says he wants to develop students who will be in demand, to be able to guarantee employment for the students. “At Head Quarters, we have our own shops that we can stream barbers to, but I’m expecting that the level of training we are offering will be recognised by barbershop owners as desirable and we become a supply chain to the industry.”
The courses have been specially collated to suit both the beginner and the more experienced barber who wants to brush up on a specific skill.
Eric is delighted that this will expand the horizons for South African students in terms of further education as well as international employment, adding to the career value that these exceptional courses provide.
