Barber students at The Gordon TAFE got the chance to try out their new skills on members of the public this week.
Barbering teacher Ben Pratt said they would normally only get about “five to ten” walk-ups “on a good day”, but about “50 to 60” free haircuts were done at the Geelong campus on Tuesday July 30.
“It was amazing and the students were telling me after that it was their best day of the 12-month course and they feel so much more confident after having the opportunity to cut lots of hair,” he said.
“As a teacher, I am extremely proud of them and so happy we could give back to the community with lots of free haircuts. I hope to run another event like yesterday’s very soon because it was such a huge success.”
