LEK Barber Academy, Ho Chi Minh City

LEK Barber Academy on Lạc Long Quân in Ho Chi Minh City offers something none of the other Vietnamese providers does, and it is worth knowing about: if your training runs beyond the expected timeline for personal reasons, you may continue without paying additional fees.

That matters because the academy works to a personalised progression rather than a fixed course length, giving four to six months as the general span from beginner to working barber. In a market where most schools sell a fixed block of weeks, an open-ended completion guarantee removes the pressure to rush or the risk of paying twice.

The teaching is standard coursework combined with individual adaptation, and the site carries a portfolio organised by style, Ivy side part, comma hair, layered texture and others. No tuition figure is published, so ask. No state licence is claimed, so the certificate is the academy’s own.
