Online Business Foundations & Principles Session with Henry

Great barbering skills can build a career. Strong business foundations can build something that lasts.

This free online session is designed for barbers and business owners who want a clearer understanding of how to start, structure and grow a successful business within the barbering industry.

Hosted by Henry, Director of Gents Ltd and founder of Gents Academy Co, this 30-minute session breaks down the key principles behind building a strong business, creating a high-performing team culture and avoiding the mistakes that can slow growth.

Drawing on more than 15 years of experience across the global barber and hair industry, Henry will share practical insights from building businesses, developing teams, educating barbers and navigating the realities of ownership.

This is not a technical haircutting class or a complicated business lecture. It is a straightforward introduction to the foundations every aspiring or current business owner should understand.

What You’ll Learn

About Henry

An introduction to Henry’s 15-plus years in the barber and hair industry, including experience gained through working, travelling, educating and building businesses across different markets.

Starting with Strong Foundations

The basic principles every barber should understand before opening, buying or growing a business, including positioning, standards, systems and commercial awareness.

Understanding Your Business

How to look beyond a busy appointment book and begin understanding revenue, costs, pricing, productivity, customer retention and long-term sustainability.

Building a Great Team Culture

Why culture is built through standards, leadership, communication and accountability, not staff perks or motivational speeches.

Leadership in the Barber Industry

How the role changes when you move from barber to business owner, manager or team leader, and why leadership requires a different set of skills.

Learning from Mistakes

Henry will share some of the biggest mistakes, challenges and learning curves from his own experience, along with the lessons that other barbers and owners can apply to their businesses.

Starting and Scaling

An introduction to the difference between creating a business that depends entirely on you and building one that can grow through people, systems and structure.

Creating Long-Term Direction

How to make better decisions about where your business is going, what you want it to become and what needs to change to get there.

Live Q&A

An opportunity to ask questions about business ownership, team culture, growth, leadership and the barbering industry.
