#FutureBarbers

The men’s grooming industry has exploded onto the market in recent years, with more and more men wanting a comfortable atmosphere to relax and get a great cut and shave by a licensed, professional barber.
 
Infused with classical training and modern techniques, a TPCA Barber education imbues in its students the necessary skill sets needed to pass the state board exam and meet the demands of the grooming industry. AT THE PROGRAM'S END, STUDENTS LEAVE WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SHAVING AND THE NUANCES OF BOLD HAIRSTYLES AND DESIGN.
 
And did we mention we are a HATTORI HANZO school partner, using one of the world's most innovative shear systems to achieve that masculine swag.
