Whether you're ready to teach full-time or looking for a second gig alongside your shop schedule, we’re here to make it work. We're flexible and committed to partnering with you—so you can keep doing what you love behind the chair while helping shape the future of Barbering, or step away to teach full-time. Already licensed to teach? Great. Just getting started? We’ve got you. We’ll provide paid training and support you in earning the hours needed to become a licensed Instructor.

• At least 2 years of behind-the-chair experience in a professional Barber setting
• Natural leadership and a passion for mentorship
• Comfort with holding students accountable while supporting their growth
• Eager to work in a structured, high-energy learning environment
