I’ve just completed my cert 3 in barbering I’ve gotten some great training since being with them especially from charlotte! Highly recommend the barber academy!
We brought our 3yr old here and the care and patience they had with him was amazing
I recently completed the Certificate 3 in Barbering with The Barber Academy and it was an awesome experience. They were very flexible, allowing me to work full time while completing my certificate. This is the best place to go for Barber Education in Australia.
My first cut here. Jackson was very attentative and precise when working on my cut. Well done Jackson.Michelle his supervisor was excellent, her expertise and attention to detail was obvious.Great experience. Thanks
The Barber Academy is a top-tier institution that exceeded all my expectations. The environment is welcoming and professional, providing the perfect atmosphere for apprehensive clients. The students and staff are well-prepared with both basic and advanced techniques, ensuring that every client receives an excellent cut and every student graduates with a high level of skill and confidence.Barber Ace, in particular, who cut my hair, is a standout student. His expertise is unmatched, and his passion for the craft is truly inspiring. Ace's ability to cut hair with precision and patience makes the process enjoyable and effective. He goes above and beyond to ensure his clients' hair is perfect, offering personalised support every step of the way, and great conversation.Thanks to the exceptional mentors at the Barber Academy, I highly recommend this academy to anyone serious about getting a top-notch cut.
Jackson at the Barber Academy in Robina was brilliant. Excellent haircut for my daughter’s wedding.Highly recommend.
Michelle Henderson is amazing, 5 stars. My son is studying at the GC campus and comes home raving about his trainer. Definitely nurturing his passion.
As a student I have so much fun whilst learning at The Barber Academy. I’m one of the hairdressers and my teacher Maryam is very knowledgeable and makes sure she is teaching you in a way that you understand. Such a refreshing place to study! I highly recommend this academy if you’re interested in becoming a barber, a hairdresser or ever both!
A big thank you to everyone involved with the Academy!!!A very special thank you to Charlotte and Michelle for getting me to the finish line.Thank you to Dee and Gareth for letting me be a part of the academy family.There really is no other way to go in terms of education in the barbering industry. The Barber academy covers all bases and makes it an enjoyable environment to learn and work in. Learning and doing practical work in the academy makes it feel like a proper work space and not a class room.Thanks again team I’ll be seeing you in the near future!!!
I had my first haircut by Michelle and her students 3 years ago, and I immediately became a regular. Michelle always guides her students in a caring and supportive manner, and it has been my pleasure to watch each eager batch of students grow and develop their skills to become confident and competent by the end of their course. Somehow, Michelle makes each haircut fun for both the student and the client. Every few weeks, I willingly drive from one end of the coast to the other just to have Michelle's students cut my hair. Any extra time taken for a student to learn under Michelle's guidance is more than made up for by seeing each student progress to become "barbershop ready" by the end of their study program. I highly recommend Michelle and The Barber Academy for a great haircut and a wonderful experience!
Studying at the Barber Academy was truly a life changing experience! The amount of knowledge and skills that you will acquire is endless. Michelle was my trainer and she was the most patient, caring, funny and just filled with so much knowledge from her extensive experience that she loves to pass on. Ask a lot of questions, be present and turn up as much as possible and you will truly excel in Barbering! It is a very safe and encouraging environment, I am now so much more confident not only as a Barber but as a person thanks to this course and Michelle being my mentor!
