Instituto Embelleze – Barbeiro Essencial

Instituto Embelleze is one of Brazil’s largest beauty training franchise networks, with units across the country. Its barbering provision has been rebranded and now runs under the Brado Barber name in two tiers: Brado Barber, Formação Barbeiro Profissional at 80 hours, and Brado Barber Elite, Estilista de Imagem e Gestão at 172 hours, the latter adding image consultancy and business management to the technical work.

Both are classified as cursos livres profissionalizantes and are taught in person, with theory and practical classes at a local unit. Because this is a franchise network rather than a single school, fees, timetables and intake dates are set at unit level, so the figures will vary by city, select your state, city and unit through the enrolment form to get accurate pricing. Worth noting separately: the group also runs an online arm, Educa Embelleze, which sells short digital products such as a two-hour Barbeiro Empreendedor course. Those are a different product from the in-person formation described here and should not be confused with it.
