That schools in general (highs school and college), the only thing different from barber schools and regular colleges, is that there is a lot of barber schools that are open for the money. I got lucky wit my school thank God.
@@woodiiewoods cuz even tho i knew how to cut hair, i still didnt know how to brand myself or be professional or be sanitary. Fortunately my school here in Georgia, the owner just opened up her own school last year and she really cared about this industry. She taught us everything we need to know, im about 500 hours in and i dont regret anything but im actually thankful she cared this much. Its worth every penny. And the other schools are just there for the money and most the teachers dont even show up but not the one im, the owner is always there even if its just me and another student.
Worth it if you have the right instructor, I learned how to be a barber not just cut hair, I learned abt business and life lessons as a whole, he taught us how to become men & walking brands.....shout out to Terry Jones Birmingham, Alabama
Majority of Barber and Beauty schools are scams. Its terrible ! Ive been doing hair for 25 yrs and let me tell you, the game is even worse and the money game is tight. Its a damn shame!
@@thjdfjjg5495 yeah some shops will let you work without a license, but if the state comes in and you can't show them your license, then you won't be able to get a license anymore. Thats the only reason why I'm looking at going to barber school
Do your homework is number one! It’s not if barber school is worth it, it’s whether or not the school is worth it! Know what the requirements are for being a barber in your state and whether or not you can be licensed due to any past legal issues! If a school is not accredited then don’t go there, if you contact the state about an accredited school NOT DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, YOU CAN SUE THE SCHOOL AND GET BACK ANY AND ALL MONIES YOU PAID AND GET THEM SHUT DOWN! Being accredited as a secondary learning facility allows them to get the state to get you financial aid but they still have to hold up their end as far as teaching you if not the lose accreditation and can’t charge a “real school price” at least that’s how it works in NY! When you toured the school and didn’t see any barber instructors that should tell you they not looking to teach you what you want to know!
REAL DEAL BEST VIDEO OUT THERE… 🔥When you running into trouble by following some system off you tube, only to realize you stuck. Now that’s where the art comes into play & you have to step up “your own craft” because your the captain of your own ship. 👊🏽😎🤙🏽
I start my first day of Barber school Tuesday, all together it’s $4100 But I liked the vibe and how eager the instructor was to meet me and share some details so, I’ll see how it goes. I already can cut so I can’t wait to start posting work videos on my social media
I went to barber school I didn’t learn anything the teachers don’t show u anything ur hands on free by ur self wanted me to spent 20k for the whole class took out a 2k student loan didn’t learn anything, I learn more from other students than the teachers
I learned to cut hair in prison with a comb with a razor blade on it,I been learning the clippers now,and everything I learned about using these clippers....I learned it all on you tube hahahaha,and I cut my own hair and my two brothers hair every week.and it’s like I learn something new every time I cut hair.no need to pay for barber school.all it takes it determination.the one true ,great teacher in all things is trial and error.
Most underrated comment. I never been a barber in my life and I work a regular 9-5 job but wanna change my career path and work for myself in barbering so I’m gonna start learning how to cut hair on RUclips and buy head canvases to practice on cause honestly brotha me personally I feel that you learn more off of RUclips in general nowadays
Definitely don't quit. It's a skill that anyone can acquire if you put in the time and practice. We definitely have more videos for barbers coming so please subscribe and stay tuned in. And also keep up with some of the other Barber tutorial pages on RUclips. Some of them are really good.
School is actually great. You learn how to do more than barbering I'd you go to the right school. If you learn everything else and dedicate yourself to learning, at the end the most you'll have to learn yourself is how to master fading. But you'll know how to use shears, color and do other things to make you more money. It all depends how you looks at it. If your goal is to go to school to just learn how to fade, then you're doing it for all the wrong reasons.
Dam, my son is in 6th grade and I suggested barber 💈 school to him... not knowing this side of the game. I can’t believe this part of the game. Crazy. I believe the brothers in this video are genuine...
Peace bro Becoming a Barber is one of the best decisions I've ever made for my life and if you're 6th grader is interested I think you should definitely help him facilitate that now. This video isn't meant to discourage, but just to give a more realistic view of what to expect from the schools. Most of us started school expecting to be able to walk out and just go get a "job". And for some of there have been opportunities like that available, but for most of us, we had to learn how to be entrepreneurs. And that's one of the lessons you're just not going to learn in school. You definitely have to go to school to learn the fundamentals and to get licensed, but a lot of barbers think they're going to school and gonna come out knowing how to cut all the hottest styles but that's just not what the schools job is. The schools are in the student loan business. They have one goal and that's to get you to pass that test so they can continue to get their tuition. So I pray that your Lil Man gets there and becomes a way better barber than all of us. You just gotta steer him along the way and hopefully the information we pass on can help your family or someone else avoid some of the things we had to encounter. 💪🏾
@DLO 06 You dont have to have multiple locations of a business in order to be an entrepreneur. You actually dont have to have a location or employees. Both scenarios are examples of entrepreneurship
@DLO 06 yes i know what an entrepreneur is. I know how to google the definition just like you did lol And ive also been one for my entire life. Even before i owned a barbershop. Im not saying that ALL barbers are entrepreneurs, some are actual employees, but some of us have never been employees and have been independent contractors who “organized and managed” our own enterprises. Its no different than a person who owns a taxi and is his own driver or a personal fitness trainer who trains their clients in different gyms. The responsibility of promotion, supplies, taxes, and bookkeeping all falls on that independent contractor and the only thing the owner of the barbershop does is lease space. That makes you an entrepreneur and my business was very profitable in that space before i ever owned a barbershop just like many other barbers are and contractors in other fields.
@DLO 06 no, we actually dont have different views, we just dont agree on what the definition of an entrepreneur is lol. Im 100% for having passive income but thats not the definition of an entrepreneur. I know people who are employees who also have passive income. I also know entrepreneurs who are independent contractors too and have passively income. Passive income can come from other businesses that you create and/or from investments. But just having passive income doesn’t make a person an entrepreneur either. Anyway, we’re just debating definitions and that really doesn’t matter. Im just glad that you’re getting money and spreading the information. Thats all that’s important. Be great 💪🏽
Quarantine got me doing my own fade, I was thinking bout going to barber school but Id rather be self taught no matter how many times I mess up then go to a school and not learn shit.
Don’t you need to Go to Barber School to get your License either way???? So how you gonna legally work at a shop??? It’s an investment at the end of the day
@@bryanbautista8520 the point of this video isnt to discourage people from getting their license, ive had my license for over 20 years now and it is definitely necessary for all of the obvious reasons….

Yes, there a good schools with great teachers that exist, but there are way too many horrible schools like the ones spoken of in this video and in the comments that are just interested in making money off the students and not actually educating them.

At least in Puerto Rico, they actually teach you how to fade in school. It’s actually one of the requirements and enhancements are for bidden in the island.
Lucky my experience different than yours.. Me born as a stylist.. Now im both stylist and barber with almost 10 years of experience. Joined alot of events n competition. Everything gonna be great as long as u really get into it.
I’ve learning from RUclips and cutting out of my apartment for now, (slowly building my on in home shop) the only barber school in my Province in Canada is $10,000 and I don’t know if that even includes the tools or whatever. The stylist school in my province is $12,000 which includes the student tool package. Most shops in my area want someone with a licence, which in my province they’re trying to make it that you need some sort of barber/hair styling course to get one
I went to a school that was amazing, it was downtown Houston and they instilled so much into you so that you could pass the test, and practical, and had so many walk ins to get your skills up, but I had to finish school somewhere else and this place was no good never taught you of different services other than haircuts
one of the best things they show you is to use your detachables man, got plenty of walk ins all day, teach you precisely how to do facials, shaves, soften cuticles perm sanitize everything, 1000 hours is not a lot of time theres a lot to learn in order to be a barber and not just a fader, if you can learn all the other things fading and scissors come with time eventually but everything else makes you stand out amongst great faders,
This is a real video I'm in Texas a licensed Barber the barber school I went to Frazier Barber college didn't teach me anything more test were given to me than teaching me how to cut this video is so true and I don't have a felony
@DLO 06 understandable. But this falls into the career of a barber, im talking about down low, since we might have other profesión, as for me im buzzy24.7, and this already bust my head. And owning a barber buisnes isnt in my future.. but i sure do like the idea
I paid 17k for a barber school in the hood in Atlanta and it was worth every bit it was 280 hrs in the classroom remainder of the 1500 hr I cut hands on everyday
This is an important video. I think any education is a scam that doesn't teach you. The problem is a lack of commitment of the schools to educate. I plan to change this narrative.
As a female, who is extremely interested in learning to do barber work specifically, and practices via RUclips videos and uses my sons hair to practice, how do I get started?! Without wasting my time and money? I have no desire to work on or with other females doing women’s hair. I want to learn to do proper fades, beard shaping- the whole 9
Mandi Lovelady i would suggest that you get in touch with someone who is a Master barber and just shadow them for awhile. In the beginning youll need someone to walk you through everything and to watch over you as you practice and get familiar with what your tools do and dont do. But id also strongly suggest that you learn how to cut both mens and womens styles. Ive been a barber and cosmetologist for over 25 years and my clientele is nit only men, but almost 70 percent women because i cater to both short and long hair as well as color. You’ll need the school in order to get your license, but the amount of money they charge is just insNe compared to the quality of education they provide. But there are definitely resources you can find on RUclips too. But experience and failure are the best teachers. Find a master barber in your area who you can apprentice under. Good luck to you sis. And if you have any questions you can always reach out to me
@@elijhperez4583 haha well it was planned and shortly there after I ended up pregnant with my third child haha right when the kids got old enough to care for themselves lol so I suppose it will be another year or so
Never limit your skills cause skills=income learn to cut girls hair too and dye it it’s always extra income and extra clients 😄 something I learned in barber school
I feel the need to still go to a barber school even though I feel like a good at fading, but I dont know how to use scissor over comb. And looks good having a cert too you know
The only guys I know eating good are the guys who run and manage their own shops. You'd have to have clients out the azz from the streets before even considering going legit. Because if you go in with no clientel then you still gonna need another job to pay the bills you have. It's about who knows you. And that will allow you to move up the ranks.
Peace God but I have to disagree, it's up to the individual, been in this game for 21yrs it pays for everything in my life, if you work hard at the craft It'll repay you, if you're lazy then get a 9 to 5 and punch a clock, I started in a new city 3yrs ago , I didn't kw anybody , no clientele at all, been making 6figures the past 2yrs and I'm the man out here, I went in early everyday & I was the last to leave most days even worked Sundays, now I got my own shop in the DMV area(Washington DC metropolitan)
@@iqceohumble5889 Aye fool, I'm from DC and live in PG county rn. I've never cut hair a day in my life, but I was looking into going to barbering school to learn and get my license. Ik when u get out it is a hard road, but if you push and present yourself right you can make it. I wanna be on my own time and schedule and not lifting heavy ass boxes for 12 hours just for $5-600 a fucking week. How did u start? What school did u go to? I already been thinking about moving, so if I have to move after school I will.
@@daquangrooms9103 lol, u won't be able to "make ur own schedule" unless you work by yourself. Shop owners don't care about the independent contractor status, they assume barbers are dumb and are gonna set up a schedule anyway, and potentially fine or fire you for lateness or not showing up at all, especially at commission shops. If you go booth rent it'll probably be high enough for you to be stuck at the shop anyway if you wanna see some money for yourself at the end of the week. So you can either cut out your house or get u one of them mini solo studios to cut out off, and the mall gonna want they money too. Good luck..
Dam I only payed 3k for my barber school ... like everyone else didn’t learn to fade but they taught me to use shears.... I self my taught my self to cut hair off of RUclips... wasn’t the best school but I cuttin everyday Monday thru sat 9-6 ... and we did book work once a or twice a week lol so basically the book work was on you to do and study ... it was like working at a barber shop tho ... cuz we come in when ever and leave when we want ... but at the end of the day I got my license and I cut in any shop in Arizona ... I wasn’t too mad that they didn’t teach me to fade cuz I already came in with some skills and some knowledge fading hair already but if I was a new to cuttin hair and I went to school to learn to fade I be pist !!!! But it is what is and I got my licsene and never been happy to go to the shop and cut and make $$$...
Heyy, I’m also from Arizona and looking into becoming a barber. Do you think you could recommend me where you went to school? And also even with a lil cutting experience, do you think that I should do an apprenticeship before trying to actually market myself as a licensed barber?
Me and my instructor made an atangement so i can keep working and get my license.Cdhj mrs payne the instructer asigned chapters to me to study one after another until i finished they book. When it was time for hands on she said go take your state boards so u dont forget anything and then we'll do hands on. I passed the test got my license and when it was time for hands on she told me indomt have to teach u anything. And that if i didnt pay a 2000$ remaining balance she wouldn't sign off on anything and i wouldn't get my license. So i paid the balance and ended up with a lisence and no education. Now i am taking legal action.
There’s barber colleges that just have one goal and teach you how to cut and there’s institutions where they teach everything and they don’t really teach you anything
im asian male in his 40s non fade hairccut look usually. i find most barbers tend to be white or black with tattoos look. should i bother or would i have hard time getting hired as a barber. they want someone that fit the archetype clients want
I’ve been wanting to be a barber since my freshman year of high school , I could watch RUclips videos all day. I first started cutting myself and then my brother , dad and so on. I want to go to barber school but is their a way around wasting my money or do I basically have to go to barber school.? or should I look into something else ?
So question i went to cosmetology school been licensed for 5 years now did the whole salon thing I wanna get into barbering so an apprenticeship would be a better thing I’m in ny btw hope y’all can answer? I always say doing hair is technique
Wat u think should I learn how to cut alone like on myself and cousin etc then join a apprentice program once I’m ok cuz thts wat I’m tryna do cuz 1 year of school and I can’t work in a shop I don’t think so
Looking to get into barber school here in Vegas but they charging me 12k! Is it worth it? Do I do it? How else can I get into a shop with no license or experience?
Just started barber school and I have to do 1500 hours in total and pay around 6k no lie I was a little bummed out since all we did was read the books and style the mannequins head but it was the first day so ima see how it goes
So I shouldn’t go to school ? Too much money and u saying u didn’t learn nun should I just see barber shops and see if they let me cut without license ?
I just started cutting hair i aint even bad tbh all i need to perfect is scisor cut i see a few people in my city cutting hair without a license and they work at barbershops barber school just seem like a waste of time
Woowww I am in barber school now and tbh I am learning more RUclips than in school. My teacher is a cosmetologist and there is probably one barber teacher but he is only for ''phase 2''. I am learning more cosmetology than barbering we are doing shear cuts and coloring and things like that. They told me that the only difference between the cosmetology and barber program except the straight razor and they have us mixed in classes. I wish I would have watched this before enrolling.
In Nj, you need a cosmetology license to manage a shop. You can own a shop without one but youd have to pay someone with a license to actively manage it. The problem was that they started giving out barber licenses but wouldn’t allow the barbers to actively manage shops without having the cosmetology license. I think they’ve changed that rule since this video was made. Finally…. The schools are still trash though 😂 new video on that coming soon
Not stable “job” or no benefits slow days in this game can’t settle for that open ya eyes a regular workers earns every doller then a barber waiting around for someone to walk in and longer hours don’t know if that’s what you call life
Man interview this man when he's not with a client....Barbershop rule 101.
Mans enjoyed the story

Big business always gets you with the bureaucratic bs.
I was new, I never hold a clipper in my life messed up and they got mad cuz I didn’t do it right
Dani 08 as long as you know the process to cut hair you could do it and have a good eye
What ended up happening man? Did you quit or keep trying?
Screw a license feel me. Lets get this guap. On the down low . Homecalls for 25$
@DLO 06 understandable. But this falls into the career of a barber, im talking about down low, since we might have other profesión, as for me im buzzy24.7, and this already bust my head. And owning a barber buisnes isnt in my future.. but i sure do like the idea
@DLO 06 but as seen om this video the main reason why i said SCREW A LICENSE we would all just do it to please the goverment
It's worth it depending on the teacher
You deserve so much more subscribers
Thanks 😊👌🏾💪🏾 it's coming, slowly but surely. I appreciate your support homie ❤️💯
Much Respect for this video great info we really need to change the barbering schooling system in new jersey Much Respect by Samuel Steadyroc
I paid 17k for a barber school in the hood in Atlanta and it was worth every bit it was 280 hrs in the classroom remainder of the 1500 hr I cut hands on everyday
Have you been able to pay that off already ?
It’s all about the paperwork
This is an important video. I think any education is a scam that doesn't teach you. The problem is a lack of commitment of the schools to educate. I plan to change this narrative.
Thats why I say get the license and then keep educated yourself and move forward
As a female, who is extremely interested in learning to do barber work specifically, and practices via RUclips videos and uses my sons hair to practice, how do I get started?! Without wasting my time and money? I have no desire to work on or with other females doing women’s hair. I want to learn to do proper fades, beard shaping- the whole 9
Mandi Lovelady i would suggest that you get in touch with someone who is a Master barber and just shadow them for awhile. In the beginning youll need someone to walk you through everything and to watch over you as you practice and get familiar with what your tools do and dont do. But id also strongly suggest that you learn how to cut both mens and womens styles. Ive been a barber and cosmetologist for over 25 years and my clientele is nit only men, but almost 70 percent women because i cater to both short and long hair as well as color. You’ll need the school in order to get your license, but the amount of money they charge is just insNe compared to the quality of education they provide. But there are definitely resources you can find on RUclips too. But experience and failure are the best teachers. Find a master barber in your area who you can apprentice under. Good luck to you sis. And if you have any questions you can always reach out to me
Barbershop Conversations with Cj & Khalil thank you sooo much for your wisdom! I will take every bit of it and apply it!
@@mandilovelady6470 did you end up doing the apprenticeship?
@@elijhperez4583 haha well it was planned and shortly there after I ended up pregnant with my third child haha right when the kids got old enough to care for themselves lol so I suppose it will be another year or so
Never limit your skills cause skills=income learn to cut girls hair too and dye it it’s always extra income and extra clients 😄 something I learned in barber school
I feel the need to still go to a barber school even though I feel like a good at fading, but I dont know how to use scissor over comb. And looks good having a cert too you know
Cosmetology schools are like that too. They don't teach how to cut hair. You learn about one or two cuts.
You have to learn layer on your own.
I’ve cut hair for 25 yrs. Never went to school. Learned in the shop. Am not licensed. I make 2000 a month and my work is pressure.
Subscribed! Get your money bruh, and keep giving us that advice!!
The only guys I know eating good are the guys who run and manage their own shops. You'd have to have clients out the azz from the streets before even considering going legit. Because if you go in with no clientel then you still gonna need another job to pay the bills you have. It's about who knows you. And that will allow you to move up the ranks.
Peace God but I have to disagree, it's up to the individual, been in this game for 21yrs it pays for everything in my life, if you work hard at the craft It'll repay you, if you're lazy then get a 9 to 5 and punch a clock, I started in a new city 3yrs ago , I didn't kw anybody , no clientele at all, been making 6figures the past 2yrs and I'm the man out here, I went in early everyday & I was the last to leave most days even worked Sundays, now I got my own shop in the DMV area(Washington DC metropolitan)
@@iqceohumble5889 Aye fool, I'm from DC and live in PG county rn. I've never cut hair a day in my life, but I was looking into going to barbering school to learn and get my license. Ik when u get out it is a hard road, but if you push and present yourself right you can make it. I wanna be on my own time and schedule and not lifting heavy ass boxes for 12 hours just for $5-600 a fucking week. How did u start? What school did u go to? I already been thinking about moving, so if I have to move after school I will.
@@daquangrooms9103 lol, u won't be able to "make ur own schedule" unless you work by yourself. Shop owners don't care about the independent contractor status, they assume barbers are dumb and are gonna set up a schedule anyway, and potentially fine or fire you for lateness or not showing up at all, especially at commission shops. If you go booth rent it'll probably be high enough for you to be stuck at the shop anyway if you wanna see some money for yourself at the end of the week. So you can either cut out your house or get u one of them mini solo studios to cut out off, and the mall gonna want they money too. Good luck..
@@daquangrooms9103I would try Bennett or the school out New Carrollton, every other school around here is a scam/ garbage..
This dudes like bro cut my fuck'n hair🤣🤦♂️
scissor cuts are very useful though for longer and straighter hair textures.
You need the school to get the license, them snakes
Dam 900 hours.. They asking me for 2500 hours for 13000$..
2500 should be a master barber license for that price if so the price is right. That’s a good deal.
@@JG-or9ej i have no schools around my area....most likely have to relocate to get my certification
Great video bro, New Sub..👍💯
Thanks bro! 💪🏾
Dam I only payed 3k for my barber school ... like everyone else didn’t learn to fade but they taught me to use shears.... I self my taught my self to cut hair off of RUclips... wasn’t the best school but I cuttin everyday Monday thru sat 9-6 ... and we did book work once a or twice a week lol so basically the book work was on you to do and study ... it was like working at a barber shop tho ... cuz we come in when ever and leave when we want ... but at the end of the day I got my license and I cut in any shop in Arizona ... I wasn’t too mad that they didn’t teach me to fade cuz I already came in with some skills and some knowledge fading hair already but if I was a new to cuttin hair and I went to school to learn to fade I be pist !!!! But it is what is and I got my licsene and never been happy to go to the shop and cut and make $$$...
Heyy, I’m also from Arizona and looking into becoming a barber. Do you think you could recommend me where you went to school? And also even with a lil cutting experience, do you think that I should do an apprenticeship before trying to actually market myself as a licensed barber?
Me and my instructor made an atangement so i can keep working and get my license.Cdhj mrs payne the instructer asigned chapters to me to study one after another until i finished they book. When it was time for hands on she said go take your state boards so u dont forget anything and then we'll do hands on. I passed the test got my license and when it was time for hands on she told me indomt have to teach u anything. And that if i didnt pay a 2000$ remaining balance she wouldn't sign off on anything and i wouldn't get my license. So i paid the balance and ended up with a lisence and no education. Now i am taking legal action.
Took a lot from this video✊🏽
The guy that has the most to say wastes the most time
Dude in the middle sounds like Kobe
Damn it’s different here in California
How so bruh
What school did you go too?
There’s barber colleges that just have one goal and teach you how to cut and there’s institutions where they teach everything and they don’t really teach you anything
im asian male in his 40s non fade hairccut look usually. i find most barbers tend to be white or black with tattoos look. should i bother or would i have hard time getting hired as a barber. they want someone that fit the archetype clients want
Do you need a barber license to be a barber ?
Yeup , To Legally work at a shop
Bruhhh I can’t even get a job I’m a fucken felon I honestly just gave up ..
Yea they scammed the fux out of me
I’ve been wanting to be a barber since my freshman year of high school , I could watch RUclips videos all day. I first started cutting myself and then my brother , dad and so on. I want to go to barber school but is their a way around wasting my money or do I basically have to go to barber school.? or should I look into something else ?
Barber school is like college in a way with tuition. I'm a 10th grader and I'm looking into a career in barbering
How can you cut hair without a license I thought that was a must have? At least in NY it is
It’s a must have when them people (board) walk in or someone complains which causes someone to come in.
Dont cut in a shop. And do it low. U feel.e
I thought that was God damn Myke Towers
So question i went to cosmetology school been licensed for 5 years now did the whole salon thing I wanna get into barbering so an apprenticeship would be a better thing I’m in ny btw hope y’all can answer? I always say doing hair is technique
did you go thru w the apprenticeship?
Wat u think should I learn how to cut alone like on myself and cousin etc then join a apprentice program once I’m ok cuz thts wat I’m tryna do cuz 1 year of school and I can’t work in a shop I don’t think so
the customer:Why I'm here😒
By the way what is on the 1st barbers neck?
Looking to get into barber school here in Vegas but they charging me 12k! Is it worth it? Do I do it? How else can I get into a shop with no license or experience?
When I stayed out there there was one school 10k but they had a 6 month waiting period. I guess it all depends on what you get out of it.
Just started barber school and I have to do 1500 hours in total and pay around 6k no lie I was a little bummed out since all we did was read the books and style the mannequins head but it was the first day so ima see how it goes
Do you take notes or any test or quizes?
I'm ready to teach people been asking me to teach them big business
Homie just tryna get a cut. Look at his face
Big FACTS!
I do want to be a barber and own my own shop one day so should I not go to barber school and if I don't what's another option that I can take.
So I shouldn’t go to school ? Too much money and u saying u didn’t learn nun should I just see barber shops and see if they let me cut without license ?
School over here is almost 10k up here in mn ... Thoughts?
Not worth it
So What’s The Best Way To Learn How To Cut Hair ?
I’m ready to change career and go to barber school now I’m Wondering if I should apply to school or be an apprentice to learn
Do they get paid hourly or is it just the tips/money from clients.
the money the clients pay for example i cut some one hair he pays me $20 and tips me $5 thats all for me to keep
I just started cutting hair i aint even bad tbh all i need to perfect is scisor cut i see a few people in my city cutting hair without a license and they work at barbershops barber school just seem like a waste of time
Woowww I am in barber school now and tbh I am learning more RUclips than in school. My teacher is a cosmetologist and there is probably one barber teacher but he is only for ''phase 2''. I am learning more cosmetology than barbering we are doing shear cuts and coloring and things like that. They told me that the only difference between the cosmetology and barber program except the straight razor and they have us mixed in classes. I wish I would have watched this before enrolling.
Please I am currently in China how can I apply for the barber 💈 school in the USA any linkdd
Which part of jersey is your shop In?
Wow. I didn't know you need a cosmetology license to open a barbershop
In Nj, you need a cosmetology license to manage a shop. You can own a shop without one but youd have to pay someone with a license to actively manage it. The problem was that they started giving out barber licenses but wouldn’t allow the barbers to actively manage shops without having the cosmetology license. I think they’ve changed that rule since this video was made. Finally….
The schools are still trash though 😂 new video on that coming soon
Never went to school but I wouldn’t recommend it
Go to school ........RUclips got everyone thinking they barbers now they fucking the game up.......
@@iqceohumble5889 exactly , It’s Legit a LICENSE that you need to Legally work lmao
Bro just went to a bad school?
1300 or 13000??
13,000
Not stable “job” or no benefits slow days in this game can’t settle for that open ya eyes a regular workers earns every doller then a barber waiting around for someone to walk in and longer hours don’t know if that’s what you call life
Also opening up a shop is not worth doing
You crazy barber make hella
Money it’s all about network
I’m a barber with no licensed I’m going for it I’m not going to school
Lol get your license bro. Just know what to expect when you go to school
Scam
