Q&A with Barbering Professor Fernando

Our legendary instructor Fernando has trained many barbers at Celebrity School of Beauty. Let’s chat with him to hear his thoughts about his likes and dislikes on his trade and what to expect as a Celebrity student.

What is the most important technique for a student to learn?

It’s not just one technique—it depends on the type of haircut they’re doing.

What is the most essential tool in a barber’s kit?

Scissors, comb, and clippers.

What is your least favorite haircut?

I like them all, because every haircut is a challenge—and that’s what helps you grow.

What advice would you give to a new student?

Let yourself be guided, go with the flow, be yourself, and treat this like a game, like something fun.

In three words, how would you describe Celebrity School of Beauty?

Feeling good, being yourself, doing what I love.
