VC Academy – Creative Men’s

VC Academy is the education arm of hairdresser Vipul Chudasama, based at Pali Naka in Bandra West, Mumbai. Its Creative Men’s course covers men’s haircutting and contemporary barbering over five days, priced at 25,000 rupees plus GST, making it one of the few providers in this directory anywhere in India to publish a fee openly on the course page. It is aimed at professional hairstylists, barbers and salon professionals who already have cutting experience, not at beginners.

The syllabus is weighted towards modern fade work, including mullets, burst fades, shags and MOD cuts, alongside precision cutting covering scissor-over-comb, clipper-over-comb and texture work. It also covers contemporary and fashion-forward men’s design, and grooming and detailing including beard shaping and styling. The academy displays ISO 9001:2015, ISO 29993:2017 and ISO 21001:2018 marks; these are management-system and learning-services standards rather than barbering accreditation, and no skill-council or NSQF affiliation is claimed.
