Want to start earning sooner?

The Restricted Barber Program at JT’s Cuts Academy runs on skill and speed. It’s built for momentum. Our instructors will walk you through foundational theories, then show you how to apply those theories to real-life skills. They might show you how to accomplish a clean fade, then hand you the clippers so you can get the angles and finish just right on a real client.

Every hour of training on our clinic floor is designed to help you build skills that are sharp, automatic, and ready for the real world. Your hands can learn what to do with every tool in your kit to deliver perfect trims, cuts, fades, and styles for every customer through the door. The effort you put in means you could complete this training in as little as 24 weeks.

This program can be an excellent option for career changers looking for a shorter path to licensure or stylists who want to sharpen their men’s services without chemical treatment training. It’s also great for veterans who want to use their education benefits and entrepreneurs who want to launch a business sooner rather than later.

JT’s Cuts Academy Restricted Barber Program FAQs

How long does it take to complete the Restricted Barber Program?

The Restricted Barber Program is 600 clock-hours. Students can complete the training in as little as 24 weeks. Because your progress is tied to your hours and the number of services you perform, completion dates will vary from student to student. You can make up missed training hours, but it will delay your graduation. An admissions advisor can outline a realistic timeline based on your desired schedule.

Is Financial Aid available?

Yes. Financial Aid is available to those who qualify and can include Pell Grants, Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loans, VA education benefits, and flexible payment plans. Your first step is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) online. Our financial aid staff will then walk you through your options and help you design a financial plan that meets your needs.

What makes you different from other schools?

JT’s Cuts Academy combines small class sizes with a family-style culture that keeps you motivated and accountable throughout your training. Our instructors offer up-close demonstrations, then let you practice your new skills on real clients under their close supervision. You can log hands-on service hours that prepare you for life behind the barber chair. Our instructors care about their roles as mentors and work to help each student succeed. We believe that the support you get from us should match the effort you put into your training, so we’ll give as much as you do.

What's included in my tuition?

Your tuition covers all classroom and clinic instruction, plus a professional student kit. The kit contains commercial-grade clippers, trimmers, shears, straight razors, combs, workbooks, and more. You’ll also get a mannequin for practice and a uniform for professionalism. Registration and other fees are itemized so you know every cost up front with no surprises. Get a complete cost breakdown from the admissions office.

What is the Difference Between the Barber Program and the Restricted Barber Program?

Both paths build a solid foundation in barbering skills, but the Restricted Barber Program is only 600 clock hours versus 900 clock hours for the full Barber Program. Restricted Barber training concentrates on men’s cutting, shampooing, sanitation, and traditional straight-razor shaves. The full Barber Program also includes training in chemical services such as coloring, relaxing, and perming. Students often choose the Restricted route if they are eager to enter the workforce sooner.
