Richerson’s Master Barber Academy is unrivaled, unique, and set apart from all other Barber Schools. Being in the industry for over 20+ years, I have seen barbershops come and go, and the revolving doors to barbers and barbershop owners that they have become. What I’ve seen over the years is a lack of professionalism, consistency, and wise business mentality within the barber field. With our business model we will advance one of the most recession proof, and lucrative trades into the future with a fresh and new reality and mindset. Most barbers that stay consistent and become Master Barbers will eventually want to branch off from the current shop that they started in, and create their own shop. The problem with this is that most of the time they leave with no real plan of action or foundation that will be sure to guarantee their success. They leave with the intent for success, with no engine to move their business forward.

 

They are jumping into the dark with no flashlight expecting to find their way to the top. At Richerson’s we want to create the best Barber Academy, and produce the best master barbers in the US. We will do this by keeping our Academy exclusive to our brand. Only barbers that graduate from our academy will be allowed to cut hair at a Richerson’s Barbershop location. In doing so we will build an unprecedented quality, standard, and consistency that has never been done before in the barbering industry. Students will be challenged, stretched, and pushed to their limits as they become the best. Before receiving their Master Barbers license from the academy each student will be expected to spend a minimum of a 24 month internship at a Richerson’s Barbershop Location. This internship will ensure that each location will always have qualified barbers for the franchise. Each class will do 6months of training and then move on to the second faze of training which will be on the Shop floor training.
