At ALVA Beauty and Education, our Barber Program makes learning to be a barber a fun and exciting adventure!
Barbering Program – Technique-First Training for Real-World Success
At Alva Beauty Collective, our Barbering Program is designed to do more than just help you pass the state board exam—we prepare you to thrive in a barbershop from day one. We take a technique-first approach, meaning our students spend the majority of their time learning and mastering the hands-on skills they’ll actually use behind the chair.
We believe that success in this industry comes from confidence and real experience, not just classroom theory. That’s why our training focuses heavily on practical techniques such as fades, tapers, straight razor shaves, lineups, beard design, and scissor work, all taught by experienced professionals who still work in the field.
Classes are structured to give you personalized instruction, live demonstrations, and extensive hands-on practice with real clients. Our goal is to ensure every graduate leaves not just licensed—but ready.
If you’re looking for a barbering program that feels more like working in a barbershop and less like sitting in a lecture, Alva is the place for you.
We offer in-house payment plans to help you fund your education. No credit check is required, and we provide low 0% interest payments. Additionally, tuition is currently 50% off for our grand opening special.
