Welcome to the American Barber Institute, where we offer a comprehensive Master Barber Program that prepares students for success in the thriving barbering industry. Our 4.5-month program covers all you need to excel in this dynamic field, including safety regulations, infection control, anatomy, chemistry, and hair care techniques.
Our students learn and master the art of haircutting, shaving, facial massage, and hairstyling. We also provide training in artificial hair and hair coloring procedures, including semi-permanent and temporary color, as well as techniques for working with wigs and hairpieces. Additionally, students acquire proficiency in hair replacement methods.
Hands-on experience is central to our program, providing students access to a diverse clientele to refine their skills in real-world conditions. Graduates leave with a versatile skill set, ready for employment in any barbershop. They master techniques such as fades, tapers, clipper over comb, and scissor over comb.
We prepare students for the New York State Board Exam, ensuring they are fully equipped to obtain their Master Barber license and launch their careers. Our program emphasizes not only technical skills but also business acumen, preparing students to thrive in the industry and cultivate professionalism and integrity.
Upon completion, students have the opportunity to connect with our job placement office, where our dedicated team helps them navigate their career journey. Whether students aspire to work in a traditional barbershop, pursue freelance opportunities, or open their own businesses, we provide the support and resources to turn their aspirations into reality.
Barbering offers exceptional income opportunities, with many barbers becoming their own bosses and earning well. The potential for above-average income is within your reach. We are committed to our graduates' success, assisting them with job placement and facilitating connections between them and prospective barbershops.
Join us in shaping the future of grooming professionals, one skilled barber at a time, in this recession-proof industry.
