4RAU Barber Academy, Ho Chi Minh City

4RAU runs a registration office on Điện Biên Phủ and a classroom in District 4, Ho Chi Minh City, and publishes both its duration and its pricing openly.

The basic barbering course runs eight weeks from 8,000,000 dong against a list price of 20,800,000, with stacking discounts for veterans, evening classes and early registration, so the real price depends heavily on how you book. Training is stated as 80 per cent practical on live models, covering fades, undercuts and mullets, progressing from basic to advanced with daily drills and one-to-one feedback. Graduates receive an academy certificate plus a portfolio shoot, which is a practical inclusion in a trade where your Instagram is your CV, and priority placement through the 4RAU network.

The academy quotes entry-level barber pay in Vietnam at 8 to 12 million dong a month rising to 12 to 20 million for experienced stylists, useful context, though it is the school’s own figure. No state licence is claimed, so the certificate is its own.
