Questions people ask

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.

No. Phase 1 starts from zero: posture, clippers, shears, sanitation, and state rules. If you already cut on the side, that practice helps, but the technique still gets rebuilt from the base.

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.

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.

Yes. The schedule is built for working adults: Monday to Friday, with daytime and evening hours available. At the planned pace, the 1,000 hours take 8 to 10 months for most students.

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

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.

No. We are a new school with no graduates yet, so any number would be fake. We will publish real numbers by class as soon as students test.

No. This is not federal financial aid. You can pay in full, apply for Affirm financing, or ask us to help you check workforce, veteran, sponsor, or outside financing paths. Start with the funding check if money is the main question.

Your tools, books, state exam fees, and license application fee are separate. DTX runs its own barber supply so you buy the tools you actually want at our cost. Tools you already own are welcome. Exam and license fees are paid to the testing company and TDLR.

Texas limits monthly hours and has attendance rules. If something comes up, communicate early and we plan around it. Disappearing for 30 straight days can lead to being dropped.

Yes. Spanish is spoken on the floor and in the classroom. The point is not just a translated page; it is being able to explain technique, rules, and corrections clearly.

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