Depending on the location and schedule, our full-time barbering program can be completed in as little as 8 months*. Although this program is full-time, it’s designed with flexibility in mind. Classes are held only a few times a week, making it possible to succeed at school while focusing on other time commitments such as work, caring for your family, or pursuing other interests.
Students will walk away equipped with the most relevant barbering techniques and practical business knowledge. This program is designed to prepare people who want to work in a barber shop, salon, or spa and those with goals to open their
own shop.
Expect a balance between time spent in the classroom and on the clinic floor providing services to actual clients under the direct supervision of licensed educator professionals.
