Blog Introduction - BullFrogs Barbers ITALY
Why a man feels immediately at home entering a barbershop? Even it is not his barber, his city or his nation?
Why a man feels immediately at home entering a barbershop? Even it is not his barber, his city or his nation? With these questions in 2012 I began to think about how to define my idea of ideal barber, not starting from what a barber wants to propose in his shop – every barbershop is son to its owner – but rather from what customers want. And I was (actually… I am) a dedicated customer.
This is the beginning of Bullfrog Barbershop's tale. A tale made of music, unusual characters, will… and even more music.
Because the atmosphere at Bullfrog is what builds the experience.
At Bullfrog you will find some of the most picturesque barbers in the city (Milan or Zurich), strange mustaches, odder tattoos and your favorite kind of music… a little blues and jazz better fitting our shaving services or a little more rock for the haircutting ones.
The philosophy of Bullfrog, which represents a meeting point between the Italian barber art of shaving and the atmospheres of the North American barber shop, is to offer to its eclectic customers a service that it is authentic, functional, fast and very high quality. At Bullfrog you can get your hair cut - choosing a classic or trendy cut, depending on your style - or you can simply ask for your beard and moustache to be trimmed.
Along with the barber services "Bullfrog Barber Academy" has been created with the aim of sharing and developing knowledge and operational practices linked to the barber shop world. It therefore provides continuous training to professionals, who can rediscover and retrain their skills, advancing the service model and ensuring constant growth in quality for the customer.
To do this, a continually-evolving training program has been defined, that starts with the historical and scientific basics and moves towards the details of the international cutting-edge procedures and methods. The training will be delivered through group sessions in the classroom and personalized in-depth meetings (tutorials, workshops and on-the-job training).
The courses will be based both on technical-functional training of the staff (e.g. beard shaving and trimming) and the management skills related to the new challenges in this area (e.g. shop management, marketing and communication with a 2.0 perspective).
Through the years we took part to lot of events even outside our stores. Our barbers and shoeshiners love to travel and bring their art "on site". They have been partners at many events and openings in areas such as beauty, clothing and lifestyle, adding a touch of originality that no one was expecting. The Bullfrog staff can create an area with vintage chairs and a general decor that recreate the same atmosphere as the barber shops of the past. And they can, of course, provide a totally flawless shave, haircut and beard trim or polish.
We look forward to sharing with you our thoughts, experiences and love of barbering !!
