About the Program
Become a Master Barber in 4 Months — Bronx
During four months of instruction, students complete two weeks of barber theory — sanitation, sterilization, barber history, barber laws and shop management — before refining their skills under real-world conditions with access to a tremendous amount of real clients.
Instructors spend a great deal of time training students in facial massage, hot towel shaving, and preparation for the New York State Board Exam. Upon completion, every student meets with our job placement office to review employment opportunities and take the next step in their career.
Barbering offers the opportunity to earn an exceptional income. Many barbers are their own boss and get paid every day — some earn more than college graduates. As a barber, you decide how hard you want to work and how much you want to earn, in an essentially recession-proof industry.
