The Real Barbers College

This review is for the educational and licensing business of this cosmo/​barbering school. I’m a former student and I very strongly advise anyone looking for a good beauty or barbering school to speak to current students actively before considering attending, as this schools educational services are highly questionable and lacking in quality. Students literally just show up and do nothing all day long for a large majority of there time and money spent there.

This is an awesome school if your looking to be a licensed barber. It’s very professional and has the students best interest in mind. The teachers are very helpful and take their time to teach the students. Ms. Val who runs the school, is constantly making sure the students are getting the best education, and truly cares about the school and students. Her efforts at this school definitely shine through. Thank you to all the Staff at the school for all their hard work. :)

i went there to ask about the barber crossover program, i have a cosmetology license and want to be a barber, so there is supposed to be a 400 hour course for this.
the lady in the office was very rude to me, i asked her to repeat the class hours and she scolded me for not bringing a pencil and paper to take notes.
also she said that the course was 800 hours now instead of 400 hours, that it just changed last week, when i asked her why she said it was because it changed. i asked her is that for the whole state now or just this school, she raised her voice some more and repeated i’ts 800 hours.
i told her i had just called the state board a week ago and they told me it was 400 hours.
i asked her if she could call the state board and double check and she raised ther voice again and said i don’t have to check its right here (she held up a paper of her school class schedule)
at that moment the owner of the school walked in, the owner looks like he is in his 80s or 90s, i said let me ask the owner about this, her face turned red and she screamed no twice.
i asked the owner and he basicly said that i should find i school that will teach me for 400 hours, that 400 hours wasn’t enough time, and that his curse was state board approved, although he did conced that only 400 hours were required?
so why 800 hours?
it may be to get the most money out of the students, and the most money out of the federal government.
their course was $ 8000, other schools charge only $ 3000.
i talked to another barber school that day and discovered that to get financial aid the course has to be more than 600 hours.
there were way too many red flags with this exerience.

The school is full of thieves and is veryyyyyyyyyyyyyy unprofessional. there is a «instructor» there but doesn’t really do anything but talk about how «at the state board» and «i make so much money» and never really shows you anything. all so doesn’t really care about learning how to cut hair, Its more about book work there… if you can pass all your test but cant do a tapper to save your life they will still let you go on to the boards. All so they change the rules all most daily. new ppl keep coming in trying to run things since the owner is to old and keep screwing everything up. When you go there your first day you watch a few videos and your second your thrown to the wolfs… they expect you to learn how to cut hair after watching a few videos… come on really? your not aloud to park in the schools parking lot you have to park across the street at a church and your forced to J walk and try not to get hit by cars every day. they have more students then they do chairs so some days you cant even cut but still want you to stay to do book work. And they expect you to make this place #1 in your life, over your family, and job. I dont think they realize that You pay THEM… you should be able to come and go as you need to. I wouldn’t be surprised if they go out of business if another more professional school opened up close by.
If you ask me this «school» should be under review by the state boards. there is so much BS going on there I’m glade i transferred!!!
The Fake Barbers College = Fail!!!
