Barber Crossover Program

This program is designed for licensed cosmetologists who want to learn specific barbering skills like men’s barbering, men’s styling, shaving, trending techniques and more. With their understanding of hair techniques, students in this program can graduate in fewer hours than compared to our barber program. With our curriculum, students can graduate from this program with 695 hours and in as little as six months.

What Can I Learn in the Program?

At Premier Barber Institute, this program focuses on helping licensed cosmetologists learn additional fading , barbering and men’s styling skills that are specific to shorter hairstyles and facial hair. Our program is divided into sections that each have theoretical and practical lessons to help students feel prepared for a career after graduation. During students’ education, our instructors will be there to offer advice on how to perform services, career options that are available in the barbering industry, and anything else related to a future career as a barber. After completion of our program, students can have the necessary amount of training hours required to sit for the Pennsylvania State Barbering exam.

Get Practical Learning Experience 

For each technique our students learn, they’ll have the opportunity to study it through both theoretical and practical lessons. This means that once students learn the basics of each technique, they’ll be able to perform these services on actual clients in our student barbershop. All services will be performed under the direct supervision of licensed professionals so students can get immediate advice and support from our instructors.
