Westchester Barber Academy, located in Mount Vernon, NY, is a leading barber school and barbershop in Westchester County. We are dedicated to developing talented, community-minded entrepreneurs, offering a range of programs and services to support individuals looking to pursue an alternative career option. Our barber school provides comprehensive training for aspiring barbers, including a four and a half month course that prepares students for the Master Barber Licensing Practical Exam.

In addition to technical skills, we also focus on teaching students essential business skills, such as barbershop operations, branding, and financial budgeting. Graduates receive their own barber toolkit to kick-start their careers. We are also proud to run an after-school youth barbering program, where students aged 13 to 17 can learn technical and soft skills that will benefit them beyond high school.

Students commit to a year-long Introduction to Barbering course, where they not only gain barbering skills but also learn how to market themselves and network with their peers. All students, regardless of academic performance, are welcome to participate. For Mount Vernon residents, we offer custom site visits, bringing the barbershop experience to their doorstep.

We visit locations such as nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and group homes, providing discounted, high-quality haircuts. This not only saves residents time and traveling expenses but also ensures that everyone can enjoy a professional haircut. At Westchester Barber Academy, we believe in empowering individuals through education and service to their communities.
