Enlightened Barber Academy

Enlightened Barber Academy operates on South 10th Street in McAllen, Texas. Its principal offering is a 1,000-hour Class A Barber program. The school also runs a 300-hour cosmetology-to-barber crossover course for licensed cosmetologists moving into barbering. Full-time and part-time schedules are available with both day and evening classes; evening sessions run 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday. New classes begin each Monday rather than in fixed terms.

Admission requires a high school diploma, a GED, or an acceptable ability-to-benefit test score, and the academy states that a Social Security number is not required to enroll. The teaching staff includes an instructor licensed in both cosmetology and barbering. The site does not identify an institutional accreditor, so confirm current approval status directly with the school.
