Upon completion, students will be prepared to pass the state board exam, both written and practical. Through the journey of the course they will learn barbering principles, barber laws and rules, and common safe practices.  

The students will get the instruction of theory from the Milady Standard Barbering, 6th Edition. The course will be presented through comprehensive material which includes chapter by chapter lesson plans that include power point slides with photos and illustrations from the textbook. Instruction may be taught through activities involving group dynamics, projects, guest speakers, hair shows, and community events.
