Highlighting New NAOB Member Benefits

The Barbering Benefits You Won’t Believe: 

Highlighting a Few Need-to-Know NAOB Perks


If you know anything—and we mean literally anything—about our team at National Association of Barbers, you probably know this—we freakin’ love member benefits more than anything. If you don’t know anything about us at NAOB, then let us make something super-freakin’-clear—we absolutely love member benefits more than anything.

When we designed our insurance plans specifically for barbers, we primarily wanted to ensure that professionals like you were covered in any and all applicable areas (because, let’s get real, our first and truest love is high quality, industry-specific insurance, as boring as that sounds). Our next highest priority? Putting together an absolutely kickass member benefits package that actively worked in your favor.

You know how other member benefits lists throw a free T-shirt your way and maybe (maybe!) a few industry discounts? Well, we do things a little differently over here, and one peek at our member benefits list will probably be solidified evidence of that.

In our eyes, all of our benefits are badass—but there are some we simply can’t resist highlighting. And TBH, that’s exactly what we’re doing right here, right now. Read on to get an in-depth look at a few of our absolutely favorite member benefits below—and then keep reading to get a full look at the comprehensive list we offer to every single one of our members.

Trust us, you’re going to want to see this.
