High School Foundations Barber Program
WHY THIS PROGRAM?
Give Your Teen a Head Start on Their Future
Not every student wants or needs a 4-year college degree.
Some are ready to learn a real trade with guaranteed demand and high earning potential.
Through our Barber Foundations Program, high school students ages 15–19 can get a head start on a future barbering career while still completing high school.
Students gain hands-on experience, foundational barbering skills, and real exposure to the profession—so they graduate prepared, confident, and ready to transition smoothly into formal barber training after high school.
2026 program starts June 8th - August 13th
Seats are limited — enroll early to secure a spot for your student.
