From Geordie Shore to Building a Barbering Business Empire | Sam Rascals | Ep 67

Yeah.

So I'd went, I'd worked there for a bit for like maybe three, maybe four years.

And at the time I was like a nightclub promoter as well.

So I used to work for, you know, Chris Williamson.

He used to have an events company called Voodoo Project.

So I used to work for Voodoo Project.

So I would do that on like a Wednesday.

No, sorry.

I'd do that on a Saturday.

So, like, that's when I started getting all, like, lad clients into the hair salon because I'd meet people at work on a Saturday, be like, oh, by the way, I cut hair.

So, like, if you want a haircut through the week, I work at this hairdresser's.

So I started getting lads in for haircuts.

And that's when I kind of realized, like, that's what I actually enjoyed doing.

Because now I'm like, when I used to do women's hair, it was kind of hard to, like, have, like, common ground with, like, a middle-aged woman.

Like, she would, like... be going on about like, I'm trying to think of an example, like what was on Coronation Street or like what like Angelina Jolie's hair was like.

And I like literally couldn't give a shit.

Do you know what I mean? But then when I've got Aladdin and he's like, oh, I want my hair like Brad Pitt.

I was like, yeah, I know exactly what you're on about.

Like it looks sick.

I had so much more common ground.

We'd talk about birds.

We'd talk about nights out.

So the hairdressers I was at, they started to not like it because I was in a hairdresser's and all of a sudden I'm a 20-year-old lad and I've got all these lads coming in.

We're just having lad banter all the time.

So then I went from there into a barbershop and then I was there for a couple of years.
