Reece Halliwell

My biggest accomplishment since leaving College is the progress I have made over the years to becoming a fully qualified Barber. I now have regular returning clients who are happy with my services, and lots of barbering knowledge which has helped me improve my skills and enable me to progress to the position I am at now.

Reece started his Barbering career after securing a job at Prestige Salon & Barbers in Lancaster. He started the  Barbering Level 2 course at Lancaster & Morecambe College in 2019, and very quickly realised that he really enjoyed it, and that it would become a lifetime skill that he would never lose. Choosing to study at LMC was an easy decision for Reece to make after speaking to other people doing the course and them saying how good it was. 

The Barbering course at LMC helped Reece to gain the key skills to become a fully qualified Barber with Prestige. He really enjoyed both the practical and theory sides of the course, but the skill he is most proud that he developed is how he is able to interact with clients in a professional manner to make them feel comfortable. Another skill that the course offered was gaining the ability to cut and style many different hair types with confidence, which enables Reece to cut his regular client’s hair and also any new clients he will gain in the future.

My responsibilities are now to look after new and regular clients, providing the best service possible to ensure that they return to the salon, and tell their friends and family about their experience with Prestige.

When asked what advice would he give to someone thinking of doing the Barbering course Reece said:

The barbering course at LMC is very good. I would recommend it to any aspiring young barbers who are looking to gain a lifelong skill to apply today. Since qualifying I have built my clientele quickly and am thriving in the barbering industry with the skills I learnt at LMC.
