Admissions · first class of 12 · starts October 5

See the school first. Decide after.

The tour is step one: walk the floor, ask about the schedule, and review the price. Nothing is signed until you have seen it all in writing.

Tour first

Start with the floor, not paperwork.

Admissions is not paperwork first. It is a real visit: front door, shop floor, the cost sheet, and a clear text from Mike before anything is signed.

Your 20-minute tour

What happens when you walk in

“I have no experience.”That is fine. Phase 1 starts with fundamentals, sanitation, tools and control.
“I work during the day.”The schedule bends to you: Monday to Friday, daytime and evening hours available.
“I am worried about the price.”The tour gives you the full cost sheet before any agreement is signed.
“Is the school licensed?”Yes. TDLR school license #706114, and nothing is signed until you have read the paperwork.

Admissions questions

01How old do I have to be?

Texas allows a Class A Barber license applicant to be 17. If you are finishing high school, we can talk through timing and what has to line up before you enroll.

02I have a record. Can I still get licensed?

Maybe. TDLR reviews criminal history case by case. At your tour, we give you the state eligibility notice so you understand the process before investing time or money.

03What license requirements should I know before enrolling?

Texas requires Class A Barber license applicants to be at least 17. TDLR may also review criminal history and may request lawful-presence documentation before issuing a license. We review state requirements before enrollment so you can ask questions before investing time or money.

04When is the first start date?

The first class starts October 5. The school is licensed by TDLR (school license #706114) and enrolling now.

05What happens when I finish?

You can take the written exam after 900 hours and the practical exam after 1,000. Pass both and TDLR issues the Class A Barber license. DTX can review your work and talk next steps, but no job is guaranteed; real outcomes get published once the first class graduates.

06Is any of it online?

Some classroom theory may be online if TDLR approves the distance-education plan. Hands-on work, corrections, and floor hours are in person.
