Barbering Training for Hair & Makeup Artists on Scotland’s Film & TV Sets

As the demands of the Film and TV industry here in Scotland continue to grow, staying ahead with the latest skills is vital for Hair & Make-Up teams. In November 2024, BECTU Vision took another step towards empowering these professionals by offering free Barbering Skills Training sessions as part of our popular Skills Boost programme.

Barbering Session with River City

We were delighted to collaborate with the talented Hair & Make-Up team from River City to deliver a bespoke Barbering session led by Alex Mills, an experienced barber at Handsome Jack’s Barber in Shawlands.

The session was hands-on and interactive, focusing on:

  • Short Cuts and Fades: Alex guided the team step-by-step through essential barbering techniques.
  • Building Confidence: Practitioners had the chance to receive immediate advice in a supportive and relaxed environment.
  • Tailored Learning: Participants were encouraged to ask questions and address specific challenges they face on set.

Barbering expertise is essential for Hair & Make-Up artists on film and TV sets; from creating realistic looks for male characters to meeting diverse production requirements efficiently.
