💈 Why choose Barbering as a career?

Barbering offers flexibility, creativity, and strong earning potential. With many local barbers retiring, the demand for new professionals is growing rapidly. Whether you're seeking self-employment, part-time work, or a full-time career, barbering opens the door to a wide range of opportunities.

​

🎓 What if I’m already a licensed Cosmetologist?

Great news! If you hold a valid PA Cosmetology license, you may be eligible for our Crossover Program.
You’ll only need to complete an additional 695 hours of barber-specific training to qualify for licensure.
