Leicester Barbering Academy

10/10 Barbering Academy. If you want to learn how to cut hair this is 100% the spot. I drove 3 hours just to come here every week and it was definitely worth the time. Learn everything from scissor work to skin fades and working with real clients. Amazing place to kick start your career in barbering. Made me barbershop ready in 10 weeks.

Highly recommend going with Vin if youre looking for a barbering course! Hes such an amazing teacher, very easy to get along with and just an all round great person (and barber of course) thank you Vin for such an amazing experience!

I originally chose to join the academy for the 5 week barbering course, simply because of the price as it is by far cheaper than many other courses offered around the nation and that it also gave you a city and guilds accredited qualification. I also chose it as it was local for me, I am not from Leicester myself but its only a 50 minute drive which was massively convenient. Regardless of these factors, I massively enjoyed the course and quite gutted to finish. The time has really flown. I remember when I first started the course I was unable to hold a pair of scissors or flick out the guideline when fading with clippers. Im now capable of doing this thanks to the support and guidance of Vin, who is a an amazing individual as well as a teacher. You can tell hes passionate about what he does and how hes open to spread to knowledge to us new and upcoming barbers. As I grew in confidence I personally felt I was employed in a barbershop cutting the publics hair during our practical assessments. I will forever be grateful for the help and support from the team at the academy. I will definitely recommend this course to other individuals who are interested in getting into the industry. I wish Leicester Barbering academy only the best, and I hope you continue to expand. Thank you so much. Tee. Instagram - _trimsbytee Tiktok - _trimsbytee

Worst haircut Ive received in my 20 years of living, ruined my life to be completely honest dont wanna leave the house or do anything. The haircut was done by Dugz who I dont think is a student. One haircut has undone years of growing out my hair and also lost me my job because Im not going to leave my room.

If I could give this a hundred stars it still wouldnt be enough. Whilst their primary goal is to educate you, their ability to instil confidence and self belief is a very close second! Raj and Vin just have that je ne sais quoi when it comes to teaching, delivering each module clearly and concisely, taking time to make sure everything is fully understood with a willingness to recap on any areas that need more focus. But more than all of that, they simply just care about your learning, your health, your family, YOU! I struck gold when I chose to enrol on this course.
