Asake’s barber, Adeyinka Taofeek, aka Topzycut, is planning a two-day barbing workshop at a cost of N500,000 per slot for participants.
The barber made this known in a post on his Instagram account on Wednesday.
The workshop aims to equip participants with advanced barbing skills and business strategies.
According to the workshop’s flyer, participants will learn how to refine their existing skills, master fading techniques, and understand enhancement usage and application.
Additionally, they will gain insights on branding, client scaling, and social media growth.
The package includes a certificate of participation, a barber’s kit, and 60 days of one-on-one mentorship.
