NIWE Academy’s Barbering Diploma is the ideal program if you’re looking to pursue a career in the barbershop industry, whether you aim to work as a barber, open your own grooming business, or specialize in men’s services. Our carefully crafted curriculum provides you with the technical expertise and professional portfolio needed to distinguish yourself in the field.

At NIWE, we follow a progressive learning approach, where each new skill builds on the last. What sets us apart is our commitment to being an educational institution first, and a salon for practical experience second. Our focus is on delivering well-rounded training in all the core areas required by TradeSecrets, ensuring you develop a strong foundation in the fundamentals essential for obtaining your license. As a student-centered school, we emphasize mastering core techniques, which are crucial for passing industry exams and setting the stage for a successful barbering career-rather than simply chasing the latest trends or focusing on client numbers. This approach prepares you to gain true mastery of your craft, giving you the confidence to excel in the industry.

In our 4-month Barbering Program, you’ll dive deep into the art of men’s services, focusing on key skills like haircuts, fades, beard grooming, and straight razor shaves. You’ll refine your cutting, texturing, and detailing techniques, while gaining the knowledge required to seamlessly transition into your barbershop apprenticeship. Our curriculum is designed to meet TradeSecrets standards, ensuring you are fully prepared for your licensing exam. Plus, we include comprehensive exam prep at no additional cost, giving you everything you need to confidently enter and exit your apprenticeship.

We recognize that barbering is not just a job, but a passion-driven profession, and at NIWE, we channel this passion to make a positive impact in the community. Throughout your training, you’ll gain hands-on experience through both in-salon practice and off-campus volunteer work and service projects. These experiences will allow you to work with a variety of clients, build your portfolio, and see firsthand how your skills can transform lives.
