125: The Future Of Barbering Starts With Better Education | The Noble Barber

Are apprenticeships in barbering broken?

Recorded live at HairCon 2026, Anthony Laban is joined by Aaron Dorn and Adam Sloan from the Men's Hairdressing Federation (MHFed) to discuss the future of barbering education.

The panel explores why apprenticeships have declined, the financial support available to employers, the challenges facing salons and barbershops, online education, becoming a better educator, and what separates great apprentices from the rest.

Whether you're a salon owner, barber, educator or someone thinking about joining the industry, this episode is packed with practical advice and honest discussion.
