About
Education with intent
Stylesbydutch Education is a Manchester barbering education organisation. We teach practical skills, confidence and professional habits — in community and college settings, and through our 10-week CPD barbering course.
Training follows a clear system: demonstration, supervised practice, feedback. Programmes are privately funded. The commercial CPD course is one major offering, not the whole story.

Tutor, Stylesbydutch Education
Stylesbydutch Education was built with a purpose bigger than barbering.
I wanted to create something bigger than myself and pass on a skill for life to the next generation.
Barbering gave me the opportunity to build my own path, earn through a skill I can take anywhere in the world, and create something of my own.
Now my mission is to give others that same opportunity — teaching not just how to cut hair, but how to build confidence, independence and a future through barbering.
