Lisnic Barbers Academy, Chișinău

Lisnic describes itself as the first barber academy in Moldova and is the training arm of a four-location Chișinău barbershop chain. Teaching is organised as modules you can combine rather than as a single programme, which suits people topping up specific skills.

The modules and their lesson counts are: Basic at 25 lessons; Medium and Long Haircut at 7; Beard at 5; Qualification at 5; Shaving at 2; and a Fade course whose lesson count is not stated. Teaching covers classic cutting and royal shaving from scratch, worked on live models. The chain’s four shops are spread across the city, though the academy page does not say which hosts the teaching, worth establishing before you commit.

Two gaps to note honestly: no prices are published for any module, and no enrolment dates are given. No certificate, licence or state recognition is mentioned either, so this is in-house training. Enquiries go by phone.
