Audrey Pauzé, Licensed Barber

It has always been intriguing the types of conversation you hear at a barbershop. From stock tips to full on venting sessions. Barbers and those in the beauty industry seems to also require developed listening skills. On any given day they may encounter 15-25 clients. In order to relate to their clients not only do they have to satisfy the clients' needs, they must also engage in conversation. Just imagine the kind of patience this job teaches you. Certainly, it isn't the only reason, but we know that this patience leads to loyal clients.
