American College of Barbering

American College of Barbering is a Kentucky barber school with its main campus on North Preston Highway in Louisville, plus a northern Kentucky location in Florence and a campus in Owensboro. All three appear on the Kentucky Board of Barbering’s list of licensed barber colleges, with Owensboro listed as opening in June 2026.

Training combines classroom instruction with practice on a student clinic floor, covering the hair, skin, scalp and structure of the head, product knowledge and sales, and client consultation ahead of a service. Classes run daytime schedules, from 10 a.m. in Louisville and Florence and from 8 a.m. in Owensboro. Applicants must meet the state minimum age of 16 and a half and hold a high school diploma or GED. VA benefits are accepted in Louisville and Florence, and the college offers job placement assistance. Clock hours are not published, so confirm those with the college.
