Barber College Student Services in Richmond, VA 

Contact

Students at Virginia Barber School don’t just learn how to cut hair, trim beards, or give straight shaves. They learn how to support each other in their personal and professional growth, and overcome challenges as they work toward the goal of becoming professional barbers. In addition, they are actively encouraged to perform community service that gives them the opportunity to hone their hairstyling and interpersonal skills. If you, or your college-age child is interested in earning their barber’s license, opening their own barber shop, or working in someone else’s, call us in Richmond, VA. 

  • Tutoring

    Students needing to get refreshed or caught up on reading and/or math skills are provided with individual and small group tutoring once a week in order to help them overcome such challenges as quickly as possible.

  • Focus week

    Virginia Barber School holds regular focus days and focus weeks with the Alumni Organization and Student Government. Once a year, classes at The Virginia Barber School are suspended so the student body has an opportunity to devote the entire week to a single subject. In practice-oriented study groups, this topic is discussed extensively under the supervision of our faculty. The results of all the study groups are presented and exhibited at the end of the focus week.

  • Extracurricular activities

    In addition to formal barber college instruction, Virginia Barber School offers its students a diverse array of extra-curricular activities to choose from. Participation in these activities, which is stictly voluntary, allows students to delve deeper into their personal interests, while getting real-world practice as barbers and hair stylists. This helps them build the confidence and maturity to succeed in business, and life.

  • School library and events

    Virginia Barber School hosts a number of events throughout the school year to inspire students to read more. Our library shelves house numerous books relevant to the core barber college curriculum, extensive reference material, and a small selection of foreign-language texts.
