Home / Barber School Queens, NY
Serving Queens StudentsAmerican Barber Institute is just about 30 minutes from Queens — a NYS-licensed barber school in the heart of Midtown Manhattan that has been training professional barbers since 1996.
We're passionate about barber education — and it shows. ABI has been featured in magazines, online publications, the NY Post and on TV networks for excellence in barber education, and we've built our reputation on quality training since 1996.
Our Manhattan campus at 48 West 39th Street, New York, NY 10018 sits minutes from Penn Station, Grand Central and Times Square — roughly a 30-minute trip from Queens on most subway lines into Midtown.
Our instructors are experienced professionals with a real passion for teaching. They'll show you everything you need to cut hair like a pro — razor shaves, tapers, flat tops and Ivy League cuts, plus modern styles like Mohawks, short buzz cuts and hot towel shaves with beard trims.
ABI runs a dedicated job placement office. When you finish your training, we help connect you with barbershops and salons that are hiring — so your license turns into a paycheck faster.
Every program is professionally evaluated and approved — ABI is licensed by the New York State Education Department.
