Barber (ball)

Learn the basics of men's hairdressing

You know how to create a trendy men's haircut and ensure that your client looks their best.

As long as your hair looks good. It's not just a saying. People often feel better when their hair looks the way they want. As a hairdresser, you make that happen. You know how to make sure your clients leave satisfied. You listen carefully to what your clients want and cater to them. You also offer advice on hair care and products.

During the vocational hairdressing program, you'll learn the basics of hairdressing, including cutting, washing, and blow-drying. The Barber program has a fixed schedule and a fixed group. During this first year, all the content is geared towards men's hairdressing.
