What is a Barber Stylist?

Have you always dreamed of pursuing a career in the beauty industry? If you love expressing your creativity and helping others feel confident about themselves, then a future education in our barber stylist program could be an amazing path for you! Barbering and cosmetology both offer unique services that allow an outlet for your creativity. Why should you choose just one? Students in our barber stylist don’t have to because our curriculum goes beyond a general barbering course to teach you additional beauty techniques that could open more options for your career path!

What Skills Does a Barber Stylist Learn?

A barber stylist learns the same skills that barbers are typically known to perform. Cutting and designing hairstyles, shaving, and shampoo treatments are all popular barber techniques that are included in our curriculum. Although there are many things to learn just in the world of barbering, we wanted to take this a step further and offer our students the chance to learn more about the beauty world through our barber stylist program!

The difference between a barber and a barber stylist is that barber stylists are able to go beyond techniques that people usually associate with a barber salon and learn even more advanced hair services. Have you ever thought about helping clients with amazing hair color transformations? Showing off your artistic abilities through coloring is a great way for beauty professionals to use their creativity. You could do that as a barber stylist and that’s only one example!

Unlike a general barbering program, students in our barber stylist program will study additional beauty skills like hair coloring, bleaching, and other common cosmetology techniques for a complete education! All of these skills will be taught through a combination of classroom and lectures and practicing the techniques yourself on real guests under the direct supervision of a licensed professional.
