Andre McGraw, CHD Graduate: Owner of Red Hot Barber Shop
“What I like most about College of Hair Design is the professionalism and structure it set for me going into the industry. These things play a big part in my success. I’ve owned and operated my own barbershop since March of 2003 and many of the principles I learned here at CHD I still use and apply daily.”
In Nebraska, there’s only one college that has offered a barber arts program since 1960 – College of Hair Design. The barbering field is growing exponentially every day with radical new cuts and the resurgence of beards. Now is your chance to catch this wave and ride it to independence and success. The time for the well-groomed male is here – barbershops and Men Only salons are reclaiming the male client and treating them like a king.
The Barbering Course is 1,800 hours of education that prepares students for the Nebraska State Barber Board Exam and takes 12 months to complete. It’s hard and intense, but at College of Hair Design, we will give you the foundation for a career in a multibillion-dollar industry where the fastest growing sector is products and services for men.
As a Legacy partner with Pivot Point, when you complete your education, you’ll not only have the tools and know the techniques to help you thrive in a competitive industry. You’ll also be part of a creative and empowered culture of hair and beauty pros who learned their craft as a result of partnerships between schools like ours and Pivot Point. We understand the value of that culture and community and want you to benefit from it.
You’ll gain the advanced technical skills needed to keep today’s male clientele looking modern, fresh and sharp. In addition to learning traditional barber arts skills, you’ll also receive training in hair coloring, perming, manicures, pedicures, facials and scalp massage.
