Style Academy – Vīriešu matu griezumi, Riga

Style Academy has operated on Vīlandes iela in Riga since 2007 and is licensed and accredited by Latvia’s state education quality service, issuing Latvian professional qualification certificates for its qualification programmes. Its men’s course is professional continuing education ending in an examination and a certificate.

The course, covering classical forms and current techniques in men’s cutting, runs 160 academic hours over four to four and a half months, one day a week from 10:00 to 17:00, priced at 1,500 euros. The current cohort runs from September 2026 to February 2027. Content covers long, medium and short men’s cuts, face-shape analysis, beard culture, contour finishing and the composition rules of men’s hairstyling. It can be taken intensively in three parts, and individual seminars can be attended separately. Discounts are available with a loyalty card and for advance payment, with a small document processing fee. Worth setting expectations correctly: this is a hairdressing school with a strong men’s cutting programme rather than a dedicated barber academy, it does not use the word bārberis, so if you specifically want beard and razor work as the centre of the course, compare it against the two Riga providers listed alongside it.
