Massachusetts School-Barbering

The Massachusetts School of Barbering offers a Barber Styling Program of 1,000 clock hours in Quincy, Massachusetts. The school states the program can be completed in as little as seven months, and that licensed cosmetologists may receive 500 hours of credit toward the requirement. On completion, students are prepared to take the Massachusetts Board of Barbering examination.

Instruction is hands-on and covers hair cutting and styling, coloring, beard design, scalp treatments, clipper cuts and shaving, along with coursework in job searching, business management and customer relations. Both day and evening class times are scheduled to accommodate students who work. Directory records list the school as accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, though this is not stated on the school’s own site.
