Becoming a Confident Barber and Styling Professional
JT’s Cuts Academy’s Barber Stylist Program was created to arm you with technical skills, industry knowledge and real client experience to become an elite style professional with confidence and competence.
Our Barber Stylist Program is taught by a team of instructors. When you enroll in this program, you not only get a barbering kit with professional grade tools, you also get a backpack and the JT uniform to feel sharp and ready for school.
A combination of lecture hours, practicing on mannequins and then hands on client services is what makes up the Barber Stylist Program. You’ll be able to learn theory in the classroom and then practice what you learned on actual clients in our barbershop floor. We’re proud to offer one-on-one coaching to build up your presence behind the chair.
