Confessions of a Surly Barber

About the Book

"Highly entertaining as well as informative. A great read, whether you are behind the chair or in it."-Leigh Ann Cheek

Confessions of a Surly Barber is an insightful look into the business of barbering, from a barber's perspective. Due to the creation of unisex salons and franchised shops, traditional barbering could be in danger of becoming a lost art. As well as offering a brief history, it explains how barbering differs from cosmetology, and presents the reader with tips and suggestions that enable the customer to get the most out of their haircut experience.

Written by a barber with over twenty -five years of experience, it is well researched and has a good dose of humor, honesty and sarcasm.
