Whether you’re a veteran barber or a beginner looking to improve, having the right tools makes all the difference in the outcome of your work. The right tools can expedite cuts, increase precision, save costs, and elevate results, giving you more time, clients, and money in return. Every beginner barber needs a few early barber tools to start like a comb, trimmer, and shears. But to go beyond the beginner, you need tools that go beyond basic.
Here are 5 tools from The Rich Barber that will level up your barbering game and take you from beginner to winner.
1. 1-Minute Blade Modifier
Keep your blades sharp and your details sharper. For crisper hairlines, fresher fades, and closer shaves, get the original (and only) trimmer blade sharpener: the 1-Minute Blade Modifier
Equipped with a diamond metal sharpening stone, the 1-Minute Blade Modifier increases trimmer blade sharpness by 70% in just 60 seconds, allowing for perfect edge transformation without the risk of over-sharpening.
Compatible with all major blade brands, the 1-Minute Blade Modifier maximizes the lifespan of your trimmer blades while reducing ingrown hairs and razor bumps and allowing for safer, faster, and more precise cuts.
2. 10-Second Blade Setter
The best and most experienced barbers know that keeping trimmer blades aligned allows your clippers to hit more precisely, give you sharper lines, cleaner fades, and sleeker shaves while reducing blade biting.
The 10-Second Blade Setter provides the perfect blade adjustment in just 10 seconds, allowing for fast and precise line-ups with zero gap.
Compatible with all major trimmer brands, the 10-Second Blade Setter is color-coded for simplicity while working.
Black is compatible with Andis T Outliner and Outliner 2, White is compatible with Andis Slimline Pro, Blue is compatible with Andis Styliner II and M3 Blades, and Gold is compatible with GTX Deeptooth Blades by Andis.
3. Flash Comb
If you’re a traveling barber or ever work in low-light settings like hotel rooms or studios, the Flash Comb is an essential tool for increased accuracy, precision, control, and detail.
Equipped with a detachable LED light, the Flash Comb is lightweight, waterproof, and can be used in the right or left hand.
Whether you’re backstage or in the barber shop, the Flash Comb boosts visibility for better details, fades, and line-ups.
4. The Pro Rich Shampoo & Conditioner Set
Great barbers know that keeping their clients’ hair healthy will keep them in business for years to come. Recommending the Pro Rich Shampoo & Conditioner Set to your clients tells them you are there for their hair.
Formulated with a luxurious Oud Wood scent, this DHT-blocking duo promotes new hair growth by increasing oxygen and nutrient supply to follicles while protecting and repairing skin cells on the scalp.
Your clients will have healthier, softer, and stronger hair and you’ll have customers for life.
5. The Rich Barber Method
What separates the master barber from the beginner? Knowledge. My book, The Rich Barber Method, gives beginning barbers and entrepreneurs everything they need to know to launch their careers, market their work, and achieve success.
Growing up in poverty, I rose above my surroundings and went from a beginner barber cutting hair for my friends to owning three barber shops and running a worldwide brand.
The Rich Barber Method gives advice not only on how to be a better barber, but a better businessman, mentor, and community member. Each page is packed with useful affirmations, stories, tips, and tricks to help you improve your mindset, overcome obstacles, and rise from beginner to winner.
