If the eyes are burning, everything works out, you need to work, try, learn and develop – Yura Manek, Barber Hairdresser Varbershop.

 Yura Manek has been in the hairdressing business for more than 11 years.  All 11 years of work in one salon, 8 of which – in the men’s hall.  Yura’s experience can be envied by many craftsmen, and the Barbershop team has been working for 3 months.  We talked a little with Yura, and decided to share with you the main thoughts:

first work:

I earned my first 20 dollars at the age of 7 voicing Monomakh tea commercials on the radio.

about experience and choice of profession:

  I knew from the 9th grade that I would be a hairdresser, my choice was purposeful.  The only one among everyone in our class, I became what I wanted since childhood.  Before changing the place of work, I was in one place for 11 years, it seems that I have even taken root (smiles).  For the first three years, I worked in the women’s gym, but then I changed direction and worked in the men’s gym for 8 years.  At some point, I realized that I stopped in professional development, and it’s time to change something.  That’s how my career as a barber began.

 why barbershop Barber:

  Now the atmosphere is pulling to work.  I was no longer interested in the last five years of work, I did everything qualitatively, responsibly, but everything went somehow “smoothly”.  Then I tried another barbershop, but I didn’t like the atmosphere.  When I went to work at a hairdresser, first as an intern, I started to be drawn in.  I became interested in work.

  about the team:

   Casualness in communication gives its advantages, in a women’s team you need to choose words, but here everything is different.  There is no envy, everything is simpler.  The boys helped me a lot while studying here, I took most of the knowledge from Andrii, everything else from everyone a little at a time.  Working in a large, talented team, you will learn even involuntarily, the main thing is to remember everything and not lose your style.  Working here, you get everything: a whip and gingerbread, and a cookie with Varenka 🙂

what is work for you now:

  This job and this step is a big challenge for me.  It was difficult to change the place of work, the specifics of work in one moment, it is really a kind of challenge for me

So I had to retrain, but I am glad that there is somewhere to go and there is what to strive for.

what is important in work:

  Quality.  I always stick to my work, because of this, time often suffers, but I am very picky about myself.

  why a man chooses a barbershop:

  Men who don’t go to barbershops, simply haven’t tried barbershops.  No woman sees a man the way a man sees a man.  Understanding, that’s what’s important.

what’s important for a barber:

1. Find an approach to any person.

2.  Own technology.

3. Know the history of hairdressing

advice for a beginner barber from Yura:

  If it doesn’t work, don’t do it.  There is no need to study because I can’t.

 If the eyes burn, everything works, you need work, try, learn, and develop
