In July 2020, Co Antrim barber Jay Millar decided to trial training courses in his East Belfast shop - now he prepares to open up his own training academy in the place he used to call home.
After coming into the career at 28, Jay overcame his rough start in life and battles with mental health and addiction to run the successful Jay’s Barber Club on Seaview Street.
Determined to give other people the opportunities he never had, the 39-year-old is “over the moon” to be launching Jay’s Barber Academy in Rathcoole and give back to the community he knows and loves.
