With heavy practical training under the guidance of pro barbers, we are developing extremely strong barbers who graduate into jobs at many of the UK’s premier barbershops and salons.

Our barber courses and wet shave courses help you build a foundational knowledge of barbering, deconstruct each step, refine your technique and improve your cutting speed. We train at an advanced level well-above the normal NVQ standard.

We are experts at training complete beginners, career-switchers, and advanced stylists.

We also have our expert barber trainers provide you support with each cut and shave, so you get constant feedback to improve.

London School of Barbering uses a hands-on approach to develop the potential of barbers. Each student is provided with an unrivalled amount of real models for practice (up to 150 models on our beginner NVQ courses), which delivers better results in a shorter period of time. Simply put, the more haircuts

It was my first haircut experience in the United Kingdom, as I had arrived in London from Japan in September 2023. The trainee's haircut was so comfortable and sophisticated that I almost fell asleep. (I am afraid if I seemed like a tough model for the haircut practice from the apprentice's standpoint.) But, this also means that his technique was marvelous in a good sense! Coupled with the affordable price of £3, this experience truly made my day and further motivated me to consider enrolling in the London School of Barbering after 1.5-2 months. Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to Rony (the trainee) and Henry (the teacher)!

I’ve been fortunate to have encountered Master Educator Noel during several of my LSB visits. He is extremely professional and friendly, always ensuring that clients feel comfortable. He also often goes the extra mile in accommodating clients, even when faced with restrictions such as low staffing levels or when classes are overrunning. He has managed to find me alternative time slots, and even cut my hair and trimmed my beard when encountering issues with the booking system that were beyond his control. Such high quality customer service is difficult to come by these days, and is greatly appreciated. As a barber and educator, he is also exceptional. He offered a rapid service whilst maintaining great attention to detail, which is super convenient for us clients. He shows flexibility whenever I have seen him, E.g. I have seen him support and advise students when other educators are busy, so it is no wonder that he is so highly rated. Being such an all-rounder, he is a great credit to LSB!

The educators guide me through haircuts and improve my quality of fades and scissor cuts. The journey of mastering this skill has been both challenging and rewarding. Initially, there were nerves and uncertainty, but with the guidance of my educators and hours of cutting hair I've become more confident and it’s all thanks to the educators who took time and care into digging deep into the haircuts and the theory behind it I’m very grateful of all their help

I have been in the barbering industry for a long time and I have never seen such a buzz of excitement as when I visited the London School of Barbering (LSB)… I believe that anyone looking to get an introduction into barbering should talk to the LSB team, they are without doubt the best barbering school in the industry today.
