About This School
Virginia Barber School is a private for-profit institution located in Richmond, Virginia with approximately 7 undergraduate students enrolled.
This school is best suited for someone with a very specific, focused goal: becoming a licensed barber in the Richmond, Virginia area, and who wants a small, hands-on training environment rather than a traditional college experience. With only 7 enrolled students, you're essentially getting individualized instruction, which can be a real advantage when you're learning a technical trade that depends on repetition and personal feedback. That said, I'd strongly encourage you to ask the school directly for its graduation rate and licensure exam pass rate before committing, because those two numbers will tell you almost everything you need to know about whether students are actually completing the program and getting licensed — and that data wasn't readily available, which is itself a yellow flag. Also ask what graduates are earning within a year of finishing, and compare that honestly against total program costs including fees and supplies, since for-profit trade schools can sometimes charge more than the career earnings justify. If the numbers check out and you have a clear plan to work in barbering, this could be a practical, focused path — just go in with your eyes open and those specific questions answered first.
