Develop Strong Barbering Techniques

You’ll train through classroom instruction, practical lab work, and hands-on practice in our student salon under the direct supervision of licensed instructors. The program meets state board requirements in theory, lab, and clinical application, developing both your technical barbering skills and the professionalism needed for a lasting career.

Why Add Barbering to Your Cosmetology License?

Barbering skills expand what you can offer, including fades, precision cuts, men’s grooming, and facial hair styling, without stepping away from cosmetology. Dual licensure can increase your earning potential, open doors in barbershops and hybrid salon environments, and give you the range to serve a broader clientele. Whether you’ve developed a passion for barbering or simply want to grow your skill set, this 300-hour program is built for you.

Marisa Costigan

I am really glad I took the laser class offered at The Elaine Sterling Institute. Elaine’s school is very nice & professional. Tony Stanfill is an excellent instructor and she is very thorough in teaching laser safety and education. I thought there was plenty of hands on experience with the different lasers. After taking the class, I got offered a position at a dermatology practice.

I have really enjoyed Ms. Gina's online class! She is an awesome teacher and breaks down the material for comprehensive and does not overwhelm.

Elaine, it was my pleasure to get to know you and have you as my mentor during my time as your student during my introduction to esthetics. Without your expertise and approval I may not have had the confidence I needed to face such a major career change. Thank you so much!
