Professional Barber Tool Kit Essentials 

It can be difficult to get started as a new barber at Dino's Barbershop. It is harder to put together a low-cost barber kit for a novice barber. The most important thing I can advise you to do before making your beginner barber kit is to invest in yourself and your knowledge. Make time for self-education; see as many barber-related YouTube videos as you can to gain knowledge and inspiration from others. Additionally, you want to start looking into barbershop marketing and self-promotion techniques.


Here is a list of necessities for barbers, regardless of whether they are starting as mobile, salon, or at-home barbers. The following essential elements are found in the best barber kit for beginners. 

Where Can I Get the Essential Tools for New Barbers?

Wholesalers, internet retailers, and beauty supply stores like Sally Beauty are the places to find barber tools. To be clear, none of the companies or shops featured in this article are associated with me or financially supported. Since they ship quickly and have the bulk of items in stock, I typically suggest Amazon. Conversely, Sally Beauty prices less for identical products, but their online store typically runs out of them.

Advice and Techniques for Caring for Expert Barber Scissors

The following advice will help you maintain your professional barber scissors.

Keep Your Scissors Clean
Cleaning your scissors after each cut will help to keep your razor's blade sharp. 

Grease the scissors
Make careful to oil your scissors before you end the day so they can protect them from zinc.

Keep it in a Secure Location
You must take care of your scissors and return them to their proper position at the end of the day if you want to use them for a long time.

Sharpening: Maintain a Long Life
Sharpen your scissors to extend their lifespan and provide you with superior outcomes.

The Greatest Shears for Novice Hairdressers

ULG and Shears on St. Mege
You should use 5.5 or 6-inch shears for most of your cutting, and 7-inch shears for bulk cutting. The most useful shear, suitable for any situation, is the 6-inch variety. It is an essential part of any beginning barber's equipment.

Shears of the Quartered Steel Foundation
Quartered steel created shears that are ideal for beginner or student barber kits if you're willing to spend a little bit more (less than $100).

Villa Sam
An important turning point. Expert and seasoned barbers heartily endorse the Sam Villa shears because, if you have the extra money to spend, they are of extraordinary quality and a fair price. 

Shears for Inexperienced Barbershops: Blending and Thickening

These aren't essential for a beginner's barber kit, but having them will make getting haircuts much easier.

The Basics for Shears Packing in Quartered Steels
The Quartered Steels provides a foundation bundle that includes a 6-inch texturizing shear and a 6-inch shear for a slightly higher price. When compared to artisan shears, it's not the most expensive, but it's also not the cheapest.

Holders for razor blades
Parts of a barber's equipment that are necessary are a holder and some razor blades. If finances are tight, begin with the less costly ones (such as the Dorco Prime Platinum razor blades) and get proficient with their use.

Barber's combs
Although clippers usually come with a comb, some styles call for more than one. Barber schools supply student barber kits that include three basic products:  a fading brush, a clipper comb, and an all-purpose comb. These are necessary tools for barbers. Nevertheless, combs are available in a multitude of styles, contingent upon the look you wish to achieve.

Adaptable Brush
The ideal comb for cutting, dyeing, and styling hair that results in perfectly styled sections.

BrushClipper-assigned Brush with vents
Raising the root area is the most important brush to use when blow-drying hair.

The greatest tool for flat-top trimming with clipper-over-comb techniques, blending, and tapering.

Dim Brush
A fading and cleaning brush for little detritus and trimmed hair.

Comb with many teeth
The wide-tooth comb detangles hair efficiently and without causing damage to it.

The Air Purifier
Another one of those tools that barbers need! You can either buy a new blow dryer for your clients or use the one you already own. A blow dryer with temperature, airflow, and cold shot settings is what you should look for.

Which type of clippers—cordless or wired—is best suited for novices?

When starting in barbering, the most common question they have is about corded versus cordless clippers. It is difficult to respond to this question because it relies on your choices and financial situation.

Although corded clippers are sturdy and dependable, using them from the front can be difficult and frequently obstruct your clients' path.

You'll need to keep extra on hand because cordless clippers are typically more expensive and run out of juice after a few hours. Also, you'll need to spend extra money to replace the battery about once a year.

Conclusion

Making wise decisions about what to include in your beginner's barber kit is crucial to avoiding financial loss. Hopefully, you now know the basic tools and how to utilize them for barbering. As a new barber, getting started can be challenging. For a rookie barber, assembling a cheap barber kit is more difficult. Set aside time for self-education; watch as many YouTube videos about barbering as you can to learn from and be inspired by other people.
