Tapers Talk:Faith, Fades, and Community Service-Eric Green & Good News Barbershop

From the chair to the classroom: How opening a barber school changed my life!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2158778/fan_mail/new] In this first episode of the year, I break down my journey from working behind the chair to opening a barber school in just 9 months. I talk about the real challenges, the motivation behind the move, and why creating opportunities for others mattered more than staying comfortable. We also highlight a successful former student who now works in my barbershop and explain how he built his clientele from the ground up, even without a big social media following. If you’re considering barbering as a career, thinking about barber school, or already cutting hair and want to level up, this episode will give you real insight, not hype. Barbering is more than a job — it’s a skill, a business, and a long-term career when done the right way.

Barber battle dynamics & walk in procedures…

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2158778/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Mr. Taper’s Barber Life, we take a hard look at modern barber battles and how the spotlight has shifted. We talk about how glamour, makeup, costumes, and presentation are starting to outweigh the actual haircut — and what that really means for the integrity of the competition. Are we still celebrating technical skill, or are we judging the best stage show? I share my perspective from years in the industry and what I believe the focus should be moving forward. Then we bring it back to the barbershop and talk walk-ins — the lifeblood of many shops. We discuss mindset, customer experience, time management, and how walk-ins can build your name if you handle them right. It’s honest, experienced insight into the culture, the craft, and the business of barbering — the way we do it here on Mr. Taper’s Barber Life.
