Why We Started an Apprentice Program — and What It Means for You

At Il Mulino, we don’t just cut hair — we build careers. Our apprentice program was born out of a simple belief: the next generation of barbers deserves hands-on training, real-world experience, & mentorship that actually matters.

A Commitment to the Craft

Barbering is more than clippers and fades — it’s precision, confidence, and connection. Our apprentice program gives up-and-coming barbers the chance to sharpen their skills under the guidance of seasoned pros in a real shop environment, not just a classroom.

Learn by Doing

Apprentices get direct, on-the-floor experience — learning to cut, blend, shave, and style with the support of our team. They’re not just shadowing. They’re practicing, growing, and preparing to be top-tier barbers.

What This Means for You

Clients who book with our apprentices get:

  • Discounted services without sacrificing quality

  • A chance to support rising talent

  • Extra care and attention (because they’re being closely supervised)

  • The satisfaction of helping someone master their craft

Our Vision

We started this program because we believe in raising the standard. When you book with us — whether it’s a master barber or an apprentice — you’re part of that mission.
