Barbering Program

Explore the art of barbering!

Barbering involves not only executing a precise haircut, but also performing any number of techniques to the face, scalp, beard and mustache. Barbers trim, cut, shape and taper hair using scissors, razors, clippers and combs. They also often provide facial hair maintenance, custom shaves and a number of grooming services, such as coloring hair, applying hair tonics and permanent waving. Level Up Beauty Academy can equip you with the skills you need to succeed as a barber.
