Three renowned figures in global barbering have joined forces to launch Mentored By Menspire, an all-in-one platform designed to help barbers develop their technical skills, grow their business, and connect with an international professional community.
Founded by award-winning celebrity and editorial barber Chris Foster, global educator and British Men's Hairdresser of the Year Josh Lamonaca, and Menspire Salon owner and brand founder Samuel Palmer, the platform combines expertise in education, branding, and business development through a single annual membership.
Described as the first bilingual platform of its kind, Mentored By Menspire is for barbers at every stage of their career, from newcomers looking to build confidence to experienced professionals seeking to level up their skills, reputation, and business.
Each founder focuses on a different area of professional development. Foster covers personal branding, social presence, and reputation; Lamonaca delivers education in cutting, styling, finishing techniques, and creative projects; and Palmer provides practical business mentoring on topics including pricing, client retention, and building a profitable, sustainable career.
Members receive exclusive educational content, weekly live mentoring sessions, and access to an international community where they can network, share ideas, and learn from the founders and fellow barbers.
“There’s never been anywhere where barbers could go to learn from more than one mentor at this level, in one place," Foster says. "We've each built our own name doing things differently, and that's exactly why we wanted to bring it all together and share it with the industry.”
Rather than offering a one-off course or masterclass, the platform has been created as an ongoing source of support, allowing members to continue learning as their careers progress.
Barbers interested in joining can purchase a yearly membership for access to the platform's exclusive resources, live mentoring, and community features.
Membership is available by joining the waitlist through the dedicated Menspire App or at mentoredbymenspire.com.
