Melbourne

Melbourne carries more listed barbering education than any other Australian city here, with eight schools between them covering the full range of training. The Masters Institute of Creative Education, formerly Headmasters Academy, teaches at advanced and master level for stylists refining their technique, Kangan Institute runs the standard Certificate III in Barbering through the TAFE system, and School of Barbers Melbourne spans apprenticeship, certificate and short course options in one place. With this many schools operating side by side, Melbourne works as Australia’s busiest training hub for the trade, in much the same way London does for the UK.
