Black & White Academy, Lima

Black and White runs three Lima campuses, Surco, Jesús María and Callao, and sells its barbering programme by class count rather than by term, which lets you buy the level you actually need.

The standard track runs four months at two classes a week, with an accelerated intensive option, and students choose between one and 24 sessions according to their level. The tiers are basic at eight classes, advanced at sixteen and professional at 32. Prices start from 399 soles a month with a discount for paying up front. Content covers classic and contemporary cutting, low, mid and high fades, machine, scissor and razor technique, texturising, beard work, artistic barbering and shaving, with optional specialisations in colorimetry and in teaching.

Graduates receive the academy’s own Barber PRO certification. No MINEDU authorisation and no CETPRO status is claimed, so this is not a state qualification. The academy advertises more than a decade of operation, ten thousand graduates and placement through a large partner network, treat those as marketing figures rather than verified ones.
