Are you a creative, artistic person? Do you like working and socializing with others? Would you like to own your own business someday?
The Career Field:
Barbering is a time-honored profession that allows you to be creative and meet and interact with interesting people on a daily basis. Barbers can earn a great living, work anywhere and even own their own shop.
Overall employment of barbers and cosmetologists is projected to grow 11 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations.
The Program:
Barbering students can work and learn in our barbershop at PSLA while gaining hands-on experiences in this exciting field. Students learn how to deal with clients, maintain a professional work environment and provide professional services to real customers.
Mixing classroom instruction with practical experience, barbering students learn the important skills necessary to prepare for the New York State written and practical examinations. Students completing the program can apply for their temporary New York State license.
