In 2010, Leen and Bertus decided to bring new life to the craft of barbering and opened Schorem Haarsnijder & Barbier in Rotterdam. From day one, barbers and hairdressers from around the world asked if they could receive training like the apprentices at Schorem. That's how the idea for The Old School was born: a small, independent barber academy where the master barbers of Schorem share the knowledge they've gained over 25 years.
Great craftsmanship deserves a stage online too. That's why founder Petra Bijvoet provided social media training as part of The Old School's five-day all-round advanced course, complemented by basic photography taught by Jelle Mollema. Participants went home with practical skills to take their own social media to the next level. And Hashtag Junkies stays involved beyond the course: whenever The Old School's team needs extra knowledge or training, we provide tailored sessions and consultancy.
