Learn the art of barbering and prepare for the North Carolina Board of Barber Examiners certification exam and apprentice license.
Barbering involves not only executing a precise haircut, but also performing any number of techniques to the face, scalp, beard and mustache. Barbers trim, cut, shape and taper hair using scissors, razors, clippers and combs. They also often provide facial hair maintenance, custom shaves and a number of grooming services, such as coloring hair, applying hair tonics and permanent waving. They massage the face and scalp and treat hair with oils, creams, lotions or other preparations.
Before signing up for Wake Tech's Barbering program, you must attend an online information session to learn about registration fees, admission requirements, books, kits, uniforms and the program schedule.
