- Level 3 courses can be funded through ELCAS

We teach you the LSB fundamentals of cutting men’s hair with scissors and clippers. You will be introduced to all tools of the trade, how to properly hold each and to use them. You will then learn to section the hair on the head, and you will practice techniques on a mannequin head.
You will practice these techniques hands-on, on real clients that are provided to you by the academy. With each service you have our pro trainer at your side giving direct feedback and support. We also use trainer demonstrations to give you the opportunity to watch the pro and ask questions throughout the service.
You next progress to focusing on refining and finishing techniques. Here we teach you methods to put your signature to haircuts through drying, styling, and finishing techniques. You will be assessed on the overall quality of your haircuts that must be passed to an LSB standard. You participate in a class competition where you will present your best haircut against peers and be rated.
We move onto more advanced level 3 skills. You will learn cutthroat wet shaving, advanced fading, advanced scissor cuts, and advanced styling. These weeks will push you both technically and creatively. We provide you clients to practice on and also use demonstrations to break down advanced cutting methods so that you master the techniques. At the end of this stage you will prepare a model based on a theme, and you will present him on stage in front of an audience to show your creative flair and technical expertise. You must provide your own model for your final presentation day. Should you fail to do this, you are at risk of not gaining the entire qualification.
We are open on all bank holidays except Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
We accept overseas students visiting on tourist visas and can provide housing options. If you are from a country that is part of the European Union then you likely will be able to travel to the UK without obtaining a separate visa. If you are from outside of the EU then you will need to apply for a tourist travel visa form the UK government, which you can do here: www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa

Students are given access to propriety LSB step-by-step videos to supplement your academy training.

You will practice on real live clients that are provided to you by the academy.

We work with over 2000 barbershops and salons that recruit our grads directly through our online barber jobs platform.

Our pro educators will be at your side at all times to supervise, build confidence, progress your skill level and deliver exceptional results.
What do our graduates think of our barber courses?

❝ LSB was a blast, it taught me the basics, it taught me the theory and science behind hair and the correct precautions and procedures to apply for health and safety within a barber shop. ❞

❝ I took a level 2 barbering course at London School of Barbering, I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I learned so much in an intensive space of time, Daniel the educator is brilliant and I recommend the course to anyone wishing to become a barber!! ❞

❝All work is well supervised so any problems you may have are attended to quickly, and the educators are open to any questions and concerns. Liam and Ash did a fantastic job with keeping a professional and adult like approach to learning. ❞
