Our Approach to Education

We embrace a four-stage method to ensure our students become skilled, confident, and independent barbers. Here's how we implement this approach:

1.
Train: Initially, we provide the barber apprentice with comprehensive training, which includes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This stage is foundational, ensuring students are well-prepared for hands-on practice. (0-400) clock hours

2.
Teach: Once the barber apprentice has a solid understanding of the basics, our experienced instructors teach them advanced techniques and styles. Instructors demonstrate techniques, then closely supervise students as they practice, providing immediate feedback and guidance. (401-750) clock hours

3.
Apply: In the third stage, the apprentice begins to apply their skills in a more autonomous setting. They perform cuts and styles on volunteer clients in our Student Barber Shop under direct supervision. (751-1150) clock hours

4.
Trust: Finally, we instill trust in our apprentice. Having gained substantial knowledge and experience, they are now trusted to make decisions and perform services while being supervised from a distance. This stage is crucial for building confidence and preparing them to enter the professional world. (1151-1500) clock hours
