Barbershop Culture

The barbershop has a rich history of culture, tradition and community. It has long been regarded as a place of social discourse, camaraderie and ever-evolving fashion trends. Today, the barbershop is a fusion of old school tradition and new school artistry and innovation. As a licensed barber, you will become an integral part of this vibrant industry and the deepening roots of its cultured history.  From the slick pompadours of the 1950’s to the intricate skin fades of today, a barber contributes to societal trends and the ever-changing evolution of fashion and personal expression. Lowell Academy offers a course that promises to honor this culture and introduce each student to that timeless barbershop experience.

Expert Demonstrations

This is a visual, hands-on industry and we’ve found one of the most effective ways to teach is through live, hands-on demonstration. Lowell Academy incorporates a wide variety of teaching techniques, but practical demonstrations have proven to be one of the most enjoyable and efficacious ways for our students to learn. We frequently invite local barbers and barbershop owners to come and discuss the ever-changing landscape of the barbering industry and share real-world experience, while also demonstrating the newest techniques of the trade. The barbering industry is a small but thriving community of like-minded professionals who are always willing to lend a helping hand to future generations.
