Barber Resume Cover Letter

When you hear the word barber, what do you think? A person who just helps you set and cut your hair. However, today it has become a very highly accomplished profession. Today a barber can work in some of the best salons, and are more popularly known as hair stylists. They can come up with their independent salons, or work with some of best names like Jawed Habib. Thus, being a barber is also a prestigious job and one who wishes to work with some of the brand names will need a resume, and a cover letter along with it to highlight his skills. The resume will give an account of one's qualifications, but a cover letter will help one put forth the qualifications, skills, etc., in front of the employer, in a way that the employer's requirements are answered in the best possible way.

Dear Ms.__________ ,

I am Kathy Gomes, and I am writing this to request you to take me as an intern in your reputed hair styling salon and spa. I have currently completed my high school and through an aunt of mine, who visits your salon, I came to know that you are looking for interns. I wish to apply for the same.

I have a flair for this profession for a long time. I always follow the articles written by Mr. Parx, published in Style Today, and keep myself updated with the latest trends in the industry. I do not have any hands-on experience, but I strongly feel that if given a chance, I would be one of the best interns working with you. My dedication, hard work, and passion for this profession will not let you leave my application unseen. I have sent along some sketches of some of the hairstyles. As mentioned above, I haven't had any practical experience, but these sketches will help you understand my creativity and innovation.
