DON’T CUT PAST THE SECOND KNUCKLE. ✂️

AND NO — IT’S NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU MIGHT CUT YOURSELF.

ONCE YOU WORK PAST THAT SECOND KNUCKLE, THE TENSION AND CONTROL OF THE HAIR ARE NO LONGER THE SAME. WHEN THE TENSION CHANGES, YOUR CUTTING POSITION CHANGES — AND ULTIMATELY, YOUR LENGTH CAN CHANGE.

THAT MEANS INCONSISTENCY.

AT KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY, THERE’S A METHOD TO ALL OF OUR MADNESS. EVERY HAND POSITION, EVERY SECTION, EVERY ANGLE, AND EVERY TECHNIQUE HAS A REASON BEHIND IT.

BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING… WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?

DON’T JUST LEARN THE CUT.
LEARN THE REASON BEHIND THE CUT. 💈✂️

TEXTURE. 🔥

DO YOU ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT TEXTURE IS — OR ARE YOU JUST CUTTING INTO THE HAIR AND HOPING FOR THE BEST?

TEXTURE IS THE WAY HAIR LOOKS, FEELS AND MOVES. IN BARBERING, TEXTURIZING TECHNIQUES CAN REMOVE WEIGHT, CREATE SEPARATION, ADD MOVEMENT AND HELP CONTROL HOW THE HAIR SITS AND STYLES.

AND WITH THE NEW HAIRCUTS WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW — MOD CUTS, MULLETS, CROPS, SHAGS AND LONGER FLOWING STYLES — UNDERSTANDING TEXTURE IS BECOMING MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.

AT KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY, WE DON’T JUST TEACH YOU WHERE TO PUT YOUR CLIPPERS. WE TEACH YOU HOW TO UNDERSTAND HAIR.

IS TEXTURE SOMETHING YOU STRUGGLE WITH?

OUR LARGEST BUSINESS CLASS YET. 💈📈

AT KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY, WE DON’T JUST TEACH YOU HOW TO CUT HAIR OR MEMORIZE THE STEPS OF A FADE.

WE TEACH YOU HOW TO BECOME A BARBER.

OUR GOAL IS TO PREPARE EVERY STUDENT TO WALK OUT OF OUR ACADEMY AND FEEL COMFORTABLE STEPPING DIRECTLY BEHIND THE CHAIR IN A REAL BARBERSHOP.

AND CUTTING HAIR IS ONLY PART OF THAT.

BUSINESS EDUCATION IS A MAJOR PART OF BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL BARBER.

WE BREAK DOWN THE DIFFERENT PATHS YOU MAY FACE IN THIS INDUSTRY:

HOURLY WAGE.
COMMISSION.
CHAIR RENTAL.
SELF-EMPLOYMENT.
BUILDING A CLIENTELE.
AND EVENTUALLY — BARBERSHOP OWNERSHIP.

WE TALK ABOUT WHAT EACH OPTION ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN ENTERING THE INDUSTRY, AND HOW TO START THINKING BEYOND JUST THE NEXT HAIRCUT.

BECAUSE LEARNING HOW TO FADE CAN GET YOU BEHIND THE CHAIR.

LEARNING HOW THE BUSINESS WORKS CAN HELP YOU BUILD A CAREER.

OUR JOB ISN’T JUST TO TEACH BARBERS.

IT’S TO PREPARE THEM FOR WHAT COMES NEXT.

DID YOUR BARBER SCHOOL TEACH YOU THE BUSINESS SIDE OF BARBERING?

NEXT CLASS STARTING OCTOBER 13.
LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE.

LET’S SEE THESE CUTS IN THE WILD. 🔥💈

IT’S ONE THING TO SEE A FRESH CUT IN THE BARBER CHAIR… BUT THIS IS WHAT IT’S REALLY ALL ABOUT.

FRESH FADES. CLEAN LINES. SHARP BEARDS. SUITS ON. WEDDING READY. 💍

HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE CUTS FROM THE GROOM AND HIS CREW ON THE BIG DAY — OUT OF THE SHOP, IN THE WILD, AND LOOKING CLEAN FROM EVERY ANGLE.

A GOOD HAIRCUT SHOULD LOOK JUST AS GOOD HOURS LATER AS IT DID WHEN YOU GOT OUT OF THE CHAIR.

HONOURED TO HAVE OUR WORK BE A PART OF THESE MEMORIES.

THERE’S JUST SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT WEDDING DAYS. 💈💍

IT’S ALWAYS A BEAUTIFUL DAY WHEN WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE WHOLE GROOMS PARTY IN THE SHOP, GETTING CLEANED UP AND READY TO STAND BESIDE THEIR BROTHER ON ONE OF THE BIGGEST DAYS OF HIS LIFE.

MARRIAGE IS ONE OF GOD’S GREATEST BLESSINGS — TWO PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER, BECOMING ONE, AND BEGINNING A NEW CHAPTER BUILT ON LOVE, COMMITMENT, FAITH AND GOD AT THE CENTRE. 🙏

“WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NO ONE SEPARATE.” — MARK 10:9

WE NEVER TAKE IT FOR GRANTED WHEN A GROOM CHOOSES US TO BE A SMALL PART OF SUCH A BIG DAY. THE LAUGHS, THE BROTHERHOOD, THE MEMORIES AND THE MOMENTS BEFORE “I DO” — IT’S A BLESSING TO BE PART OF IT.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLYWEDS. MAY GOD BLESS YOUR MARRIAGE, GUIDE YOUR HOME, AND GIVE YOU MANY BEAUTIFUL YEARS TOGETHER. 🙏💍

GOD IS GOOD.

UNIFORM LAYERS ✂️

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE GATES, WE’RE PUTTING OUR STUDENTS TO WORK ON ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FOUNDATIONS IN HAIRCUTTING — THE UNIFORM LAYERED HAIRCUT.

A UNIFORM LAYER MEANS THE HAIR IS ELEVATED AND CUT TO CREATE CONSISTENT LENGTHS THROUGHOUT THE SHAPE. SOUNDS SIMPLE… UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY TRY IT.

CLEAN SECTIONING. CONSISTENT ELEVATION. PROPER FINGER POSITION. MAINTAINING YOUR GUIDE. BODY POSITION. UNDERSTANDING WHERE EVERY SECTION CONNECTS.

ONE SMALL CHANGE IN ELEVATION CAN CHANGE THE ENTIRE HAIRCUT.

THIS IS WHERE STUDENTS START LEARNING THAT CUTTING HAIR ISN’T JUST ABOUT REMOVING LENGTH — IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING SHAPE, STRUCTURE AND CONTROL.

AND WE DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE PROGRAM TO CHALLENGE THEM.

WE BUILD THE FUNDAMENTALS EARLY, CORRECT THE MISTAKES, REPEAT THE TECHNIQUES AND KEEP PUSHING UNTIL THEIR HANDS START CATCHING UP WITH THEIR EYES.

THESE STUDENTS ARE PUTTING IN THE WORK NOW, AND IT WON’T BE LONG BEFORE THEY’RE READY TO START CUTTING REAL CLIENTS. 💈

THE NEXT GENERATION OF BARBERS IS COMING.

THE MOHAWK SECTION 💈📚

WHY DO WE USE IT? 👀

A MOHAWK SECTION IS A FUNDAMENTAL SECTIONING TECHNIQUE THAT ISOLATES THE TOP OF THE HEAD FROM THE SIDES — GIVING THE BARBER MORE CONTROL OVER LENGTH, SHAPE, DIRECTION AND WEIGHT.

IT ALLOWS US TO CREATE A CLEAN GUIDE THROUGH THE TOP, WORK METHODICALLY, MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY AND UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW THE HAIR WILL CONNECT TO THE SIDES.

SECTIONING ISN’T JUST SOMETHING WE DO TO KEEP THE HAIR OUT OF THE WAY.

IT GIVES THE HAIRCUT A PLAN.

BEFORE THE FADE.
BEFORE THE TEXTURE.
BEFORE THE FINISH.

UNDERSTAND THE HEAD. CONTROL THE HAIR. BUILD THE SHAPE. ✂️💈

AT KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY, WE DON’T JUST TEACH YOU HOW TO CUT HAIR — WE TEACH YOU WHY YOU’RE DOING IT.

LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS. BUILD THE SKILLS. THEN GET CREATIVE. 💈🔥

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME YOU TRIED TO CUT A STRAIGHT LINE? ✂️😅

HANDS SHAKING. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOLD THE SHEARS AND COMB IN THE SAME HAND. CHECKING THE LINE OVER AND OVER AGAIN… AND SOMEHOW IT STILL WASN’T STRAIGHT. 😂

WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE.

AT KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY, WE START WITH THE BASICS — AND THAT INCLUDES LEARNING LONG HAIR FIRST.

THE BLUNT CUT IS ONE OF THE FIRST TECHNIQUES OUR STUDENTS LEARN. IT TEACHES SECTIONING, BODY POSITION, SHEAR CONTROL, COMB CONTROL, TENSION, CONSISTENCY AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW TO CREATE A CLEAN, STRAIGHT GUIDELINE.

BEFORE YOU CAN GET FANCY, YOU HAVE TO MASTER THE FUNDAMENTALS. 💈

OUR STUDENTS ARE PUTTING IN THE WORK, BUILDING THEIR CONFIDENCE AND DEVELOPING THE HAND CONTROL THAT ONLY COMES WITH PRACTICE.
