Barbering is a profession that dates back hundreds of years and is a skill that’s still highly in demand today. Our barbering program in Oregon can help you build foundational knowledge about the time-honored craft, then expand on those skills to create modern looks using fades, tapering, undercuts, and more.
You can learn the art of shaping men’s a women’s hair in the latest styles, honing your skills under the guidance of experienced industry professionals. You can develop techniques to give clients the style, look, and feel they want to see in the mirror. You can also learn how to care for client skin, performing the time-honored tradition of the indulgent hot lather shave and other skincare essentials.
Join us at one of our four barbering school campuses to start your journey! Talk to one of our admissions representatives today to learn more about the course and the enrollment process.
We keep our class sizes small, so you get more one-on-one time with instructors and plenty of support and feedback to help you refine your skill set. Instructors use classroom lectures, technical manuals, guest speakers, demonstrations, and digital learning platforms to teach students. You can also refine your skills through laboratory projects and while working on real clients in a simulated barber shop under the supervision of licensed instructors.
Students can complete the barbering course in as little as eight months. However, your completion date will depend on your schedule, attendance, and start date. Your admissions representative can work with you to determine your projected completion date and help you find the schedule that works best for you.
Barbering primarily focuses on traditionally male haircuts, styling, and facial hair care. The hair design program is part of our full cosmetology course, focusing on a broader range of hair services, including wet styling, chemical treatments, and coloring. The complete cosmetology program expands your skills further by introducing nail technology and taking a deeper dive into esthetics. The full cosmetology course may be for you if you want the most flexible career path. Talk to your admissions representative about your career goals so they can advise you on your course options.
