Behind the Chair is Where Your Career Begins

Since 2017, Hairfellas Education has been helping aspiring barbers turn their passion into a profession. Our goal is simple: provide you with the skills, confidence, and real-world experience needed to begin a successful career in barbering.

Our program is designed to prepare you for life behind the chair—not just in the classroom.

Why We Redesigned Our Program

When Hairfellas Education first launched, we offered a short beginner course. While students developed a strong foundation, many found it difficult to secure an apprenticeship or transition into a barbershop after graduating

We knew there had to be a better way.

That's why we redesigned our curriculum into a structured 12-week program that combines comprehensive technical training with career development. From your very first haircut to advanced modern techniques, every step is designed to prepare you for employment in a professional barbershop.

Our curriculum is divided into two complete 12-week sessions, allowing students to progress from beginner fundamentals to advanced barbering techniques.

Students enroll in an entire 12-week session, rather than individual levels, ensuring they receive complete, structured training.

Session 1 – Foundations

Designed for: Complete beginners with little or no barbering experience.

Includes:

  • Beginner Fundamentals
  • Intermediate Skills

What you'll learn:

  • Professional tool knowledge
  • Clipper and scissor fundamentals
  • Haircut structure and techniques
  • Blending and fading
  • Client consultation
  • Sanitation and safety
  • Building confidence behind the chair

By the end of Session 1, students will have a strong technical foundation and be comfortable performing complete haircuts.

Session 2 – Masterclass

Designed for: Students who have completed Session 1 or barbers looking to refine and elevate their skills.

Includes:

  • Intermediate to Advanced
  • Advanced to Elite

Focus areas:

  • Advanced fading

Job Placement Opportunity

Students who successfully complete Session 2 become eligible for our Hairfellas Shop Placement Program, where we help connect qualified graduates with employment opportunities within our network.

Our objective isn't simply to teach barbering—we want to help launch your career.

Hands-On Experience

Students first build confidence using mannequin heads before progressing to live models, allowing them to gain practical experience in a supervised environment.

Simplified Theory

Instead of overwhelming textbooks, we use easy-to-follow visual learning tools and custom flashcards that help students retain essential barbering knowledge while maximizing time spent cutting.

Barbering is a hands-on profession that can only truly be learned through experience.

Our lead instructor brings over 30 years of behind-the-chair experience and has been teaching at Hairfellas Education for more than six years.

To ensure every student receives personalized instruction, classes are limited to just six students, allowing for one-on-one coaching and individualized feedback throughout the program.
