Hair Stylist School in Richmond, VA

Courses

Much like many successful American businesses, Virginia Barber School was born out of one person’s vision to solve a problem. In the late 90s, Dalton L. King, a Master Barber with 20 years of experience and the owner of a barbershop in Richmond, VA, grew frustrated with the challenges of finding skilled barbers. His solution? Create his own training program and hire graduates from it. Today, Virginia Barber School has helped hundreds of barbers launch their careers, and you could be next.
