Barber Program
Summit Salon Academy’s barber students learn how to style their story. Barbering students obtain the necessary skills to offer exceptional experiences and relevant barbering techniques. Utilizing the education platform of Redken for Men and its custom looks for every man, our barber students enjoy a private barber section to boast their skills.
The 900-hour barber course curriculum is based on the barbering techniques prescribed by the State of Florida for a barber license. The course includes all facets of barbering techniques using clippers, razor, and shears. The course includes the applications of all chemical services, and the art of arranging the hair. Training includes two types of learning: theoretical knowledge and the practical experience to build the skills needed to be successful in the profession.
Program Objective
To prepare the student to become a barber, to prepare them to take the Florida licensing exam, and to prepare them to be successful in the field.
