About the Author

Tom Chapman may in fact be the busiest Barber in the World. With 20 years in the hair industry starting his journey at Toni && Guy he founded his own hair studio in 2011 – Tom Chapman Hair Design, in his hometown of Torquay. He quickly realised that from inside the safe environment of his barbershop there was an opportunity to not only look after what’s on his customers heads, but also what’s inside their heads too. After losing a friend to suicide in 2014 he founded The Lions Barber Collective a year later, which is a group of international Barbers, that educate and raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention, becoming a charity in 2017. This life saving collective have grown into a huge global network, that trains Barbers in BarberTalk training, giving other Barbers the skills to listen and help customers with their mental health and suicide prevention. Leading this groundbreaking collective has led Tom to giving TEDx Talks and gaining coverage on National and International Television and Radio.
