Hands-On Training with Real Clients in our Student Salon

Barbering is a hands-on field and at Raphael’s Department of Barbering we believe that’s how it should be taught. As a Barbering student you can work with real clients in our professional, on-site student salon, providing a wide range of services under the guidance of an instructor.

Our aim is to help you feel comfortable moving into any barbering setting after gaining hands-on, real-world experience before you graduate.

“My favorite thing from the school is the inspiration I get from the instructors and the flexibility of the school. It just pushes me towards my career and gives me confidence for the future.”
