“Originally from Liverpool, professionally I’m known as Nomad Barber. I’ve been cutting hair for almost 20 years and have a shop in London and Berlin. I also have a web series, which started with me going around the world documenting the barbering trade. That’s kind of where I made my name within the industry.”
“Being able to visit so many countries and meet so many barbers was amazing; I’ve learnt so much from my journeys both personally and in my profession. The symbolic side of cutting hair is fascinating; from a baby’s first ‘full moon’ hair cut in china, to the status hair has for the African Masai man. Travel has been a big inspiration for me, my craft and my barbershops in London and Berlin.”
Having seen so much of the world during his time in the industry, it’s hard for Miguel to pinpoint one career highlight. “In terms of what I’m most proud of, I’d definitely say travelling the world and making a success of the web series back in 2013. Obviously opening the shops were big tasks, and we’ve had to improvise all the time but they’re still around!”
With so many varied opportunities which have come his way, Miguel has also learnt plenty over the years which has shaped his outlook going forward. “I’ve learnt most that good people matter more than skilful people. You can always train someone to be better, but you can’t always train them to be a good person.”
