• About Barbering

    This class will introduce students to the barbering profession. If a student is considering a career in the barbering profession, the knowledge gained in this class will provide an advantage upon the student entering a Barber College. The program is designed for students to attend their full junior and senior years; by which they will receive 750 class hours or half of the hours needed to take a Barber Exam to obtain a Barber’s License. By dual enrolling in a Barber College, the 750 hours earned in this program will be accepted and go towards the remainder of the class hours needed to sit for a Barber Exam.

    There are four levels of Barbering available.  Barbering I is a morning-only course while Barbering II, Barbering III, and Barbering IV are PM-only courses.
