St Charles Barber College LLC

St. Charles Barber College is a barber school on Elm Street in St. Charles, Missouri, serving the greater St. Louis area. Its barbering course runs 1,040 clock hours: the 1,000 hours required by the Missouri Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners, plus a 40-hour block devoted specifically to preparation for the state theory and practical examinations. The required curriculum is weighted toward haircutting and hairstyling, with additional hours in shaving, permanent waving, chemical services and hair coloring.

Completion takes roughly seven to eighteen months depending on enrollment status. Classes meet Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for both full-time and part-time students, and the school indicates that customized schedules can be arranged in some cases. A crossover program for licensed cosmetologists is also offered, and students practice on clients in the school’s shop.
