Interview Questions for New Barbers

Mastering interviewing barbers is essential for modern barber shops.

In the competitive world of barbering, understanding interviewing barbers can be the difference between a thriving shop and one that struggles to pay the rent.

At Operation Glass Door, we believe in systems, not guesswork. Here are 3 proven strategies to master this area of your business.

1. The Practical

Never hire without seeing a cut. Pay a model to come in and let the candidate cut their hair.

2. "Tell me about a mistake you made"

If they say "I don't make mistakes", don't hire them. You want honesty and growth mindset.

3. Career Goals

Are they looking for a home or a stepping stone? Both are fine, but you need to know.
