Barber School, Hair Cuts, Hair Styling, Training » in Farmington, NM

Main Barber School is an independently owned barber school that teaches young men and women everything they need to know to cut, style, and color hair for men, women, and kids. We teach core skills, adaptive skills, and how to be creative with hairstyling. Below is an outline of what you will learn in our school.

Hair Cutting

First you will learn basic trimming and haircutting for men, women, and kids, followed by more advanced techniques such as layering, shaving, mohawks, and complex hairstyles.

Chemical Work

The next step is to learn chemical work which includes coloring, highlights, and perms. There are different techniques that achieve similar results and may work better over another technique for a person’s hair type and length. You will learn how to mix colors and get precise shades along with how much color it takes to saturate hair at various lengths and how long to leave the color on before rinsing.

Men’s Shaving and Grooming

We also teach men’s shaving and grooming, which includes beard and mustache trimming and shaving, sideburn grooming and shaving, nose and ear hair trimming, and creating a clean neckline.

Styling

We teach styling from basic, temporary curling and straightening to complex updos for formal events. This is done mostly on women’s hair, but we also teach basic men’s styling as well.

Products

Main Barber School also teaches you how to use various salon products including hair spray, hair gel, mousse, shine spray, texturizing cream, leave-in conditioner, shampoos and conditioners, and more. These can enhance a style or cut and may be essential for some services.
