A young Toronto barber is rising to fame on TikTok for showing up at the homes of millionaires and giving them a haircut. At only 17-years-old, Jamiel Bustos known as jbalwaysfresh on TikTok, now has up to 3 million followers who support his video series on the app.

While barbering can be a rewarding career, it can also be physically and mentally demanding. Long hours of standing, high levels of concentration, and dealing with difficult customers can lead to stress and burnout. Some barbers may quit due to these challenges, or because they want to pursue different career paths.

Once you establish yourself and build a solid clientele, you may be able to earn six figures as a barber. Your success, though, will likely depend on how in demand you are, how willing you are to travel or work long hours, the clientele you cater to, and if you own your own shop.
