"Mastering The Art & Science Of Barbering"

About Us imageAbout Us imageAbout Us image
The Personal Service Industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and one of the most consumed services in this country. There are many areas that once licensed our graduates can pursue. Areas such as having; a lucrative job while pursuing post education, entrepreneurship, contractual agreements with government agencies, cruise ships, military bases, magazine companies, theater, film, hair product companies, equipment suppliers, platform artist, a teacher and the list goes on....

One of the splendors of starting this career pathway as early as high school is students may escape tuition at a trade or technical colleges and have a great tool in their toolbox as a career or a skill to fall back on during some troubling times. We have also established relationships with some post-secondary institutions for those who need additional training and a pathway into technical college.
