Two years into my time at Nu:Era, a barbershop in Walsall, I had a stable and growing client base. I toyed around with the idea of being self-employed, but just kept it as an idea because I was scared of the unknown. I was working long hours and late nights and I loved it -Istill do. But being employed meant I was only getting the hourly rate and when you’re doing graveyard shifts, you have to ask yourself, is it worth it?
