In the Shaves or Mustache, and Beard Trim part of the course, students become familiar with how to:

• Define the objective of shaving

• Demonstrate the ability to handle the razor in four standard cutting positions and strokes
• Identify the fourteen shaving areas of the face
• Demonstrate a facial shave

In today’s world, whether for personal or business reasons, men have chosen to pay closer attention to how they look. It is then not surprising to find men exploring the possibilities of hair color and hair pieces. Men’s interest in looking their best provides an opportunity for you, a modern day Barber, to tap into your creative abilities by being a part of our visually exciting, artistically-based education.

In addition, an important part of the Program is the section devoted to sanitation and sterilization, as well as Barbershop Fundamentals.
