FAQs About Our Barbering Program

How long does it take to complete the barbering program?

Our barbering program included 1,500 clock hours of instruction. Full-time students can complete the program in as little as 12 months, while part-time students may take longer, depending on their schedule. Both day and evening classes are available, and our admissions team can help you determine the best schedule for your goals.

How soon can I start the barbering program?

Our barbering program has rolling start dates throughout the year, giving you multiple opportunities to start your training. Contact our admissions team to find out when the next available class starts and how you can enroll. Spaces fill quickly because we try to maintain small class sizes, so don’t wait to start the process.

What is the difference between barbering and cosmetology?

While both barbering and cosmetology focus on hair and grooming, they are very different in their training and career paths. Barbering focuses on precision haircuts, fades, beard design, and straight razor shaves. These techniques are ideal for clients seeking sharp, tailored styles. Cosmetology offers a broader education that covers hair, skin care, and nail treatments. Barbers usually work in barbershops that cater to men’s grooming needs, while cosmetologists often work in salons that serve a broader client base. Choosing between these two fields will depend on your goals and what skills you want to learn. Our admissions team can help you explore which path is right for you. 

Do I need prior experience?

No. You do not need prior haircutting experience to enroll in our barbering program. You might be completely new to barbering or have some experience. Either way, our program can teach you the skills you need to know. Our instructors will guide you through techniques such as clipper cutting, scissor work, and straight razor shaves. With practice and consistent effort, you can thrive in the barber industry.
