Hair Stylist School in Richmond, VA
Like many American businesses, Virginia Barber School came about when one individual found a need, and decided to fill it. In the late 90’s, Dalton L. King, a 20-year Master Barber and barbershop owner in Richmond, VA, had enough of dredging through the pitfalls of hiring qualified barbers. He arrived at the only logical solution in this situation, which was to design his own training program, and hire alumni barbers. Today, hundreds of professional mens‘ hair stylists owe their success to Virginia Barber School. You could be one of them. Enroll today!
