Will I cut real clients? Yes. Hands-on experience is a big part of learning inside a real barbershop environment.

Who are the advanced courses designed for? Our advanced courses are for barbers who already have a basic understanding of barbering and want to improve specific skills such as fading, scissor work, consultations or overall confidence behind the chair.

I already work in a barbershop. Will this still benefit me? Absolutely. Many experienced barbers reach a point where they stop progressing because they're repeating the same techniques every day. Our courses help refine your skills, improve consistency and introduce new ways of approaching haircuts.

What if I only want to improve one area of my barbering? That's exactly what our advanced training is designed for. Whether it's fading, scissor work, speed, consultations or confidence, we'll tailor the training to your goals where possible.

How many people are on each course? We keep all courses 1-2-1.

Will I receive a certificate? Yes. On completion of your course, you'll receive a STUDIO26 Barber Academy certificate recognising your attendance and continued professional development.
