Kelowna Barber Academy

THIS IS WHAT KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY IS ALL ABOUT. 💈🔥

PIPER IN FRONT OF THE CLASS DOING WHAT WE BELIEVE EVERY BARBER EDUCATOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO — SHOW YOU THE WORK.

LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS.
REAL CLIENTS.
REAL SERVICES.
REAL HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE.

WE DON’T JUST STAND IN FRONT OF A CLASS AND TELL YOU HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE. WE DEMONSTRATE IT, BREAK IT DOWN STEP BY STEP, THEN PUT THE TOOLS IN YOUR HANDS AND GUIDE YOU THROUGH IT UNTIL YOU GET IT.

YOU SEE IT.
YOU DO IT.
WE CORRECT IT.
YOU DO IT AGAIN.
THAT’S HOW CONFIDENCE IS BUILT.

WITH MORE THAN 100 BARBERS TRAINED LAST YEAR AND APPROXIMATELY 90% OF OUR GRADUATES ACTIVELY WORKING IN BARBERSHOPS TODAY, THE PROOF IS IN THE RESULTS.

WE ARE KELOWNA’S LEADING BARBER PROGRAM, AND WE’VE BUILT OUR REPUTATION BY PUTTING REAL BARBERS INTO REAL SHOPS.

NOBODY DOES IT LIKE WE DO.

IF YOU’VE BEEN WATCHING FROM THE SIDELINES, STOP WONDERING IF YOU CAN DO IT.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
WE’LL TEACH YOU FROM THE GROUND UP.

SIGN UP. SHOW UP. PUT IN THE WORK.
LET US SHOW YOU WHAT YOU’RE CAPABLE OF.

KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY

LIVE DEMOS. REAL CLIENTS. REAL BARBERSHOP SERVICES. 💈

TODAY, CHING STEPPED IN FOR A LIVE BEARD DEMO — BREAKING DOWN THE TECHNIQUES, DETAILS, AND RAZOR WORK THAT STUDENTS WILL ACTUALLY USE BEHIND THE CHAIR.

AT KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY, WE BELIEVE THERE’S A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WATCHING A VIDEO AND WATCHING AN EXPERIENCED BARBER PERFORM A SERVICE LIVE, ON A REAL CLIENT, WHILE EXPLAINING EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE DOING AND WHY.

BEARD WORK HAS BEEN A MAJOR PART OF CHING’S BARBERING CAREER — FROM YEARS BEHIND THE CHAIR, TO COMPETING IN BEARD BATTLES, TO SPECIALIZING IN BEARD SHAPING, DETAILING, LINEUPS, AND STRAIGHT RAZOR WORK.

THAT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE GETS PASSED DIRECTLY TO OUR STUDENTS.

WE DON’T JUST TEACH YOU HOW TO GET THROUGH A COURSE.

WE TEACH YOU HOW TO WORK IN A BARBERSHOP.

REAL CLIENTS.
REAL SERVICES.
REAL PROBLEMS.
REAL-TIME DEMONSTRATIONS.
REAL EXPERIENCE.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU GRADUATE AND SOMEBODY SITS IN YOUR CHAIR ASKING FOR A BEARD SERVICE, WE WANT YOU TO ALREADY KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THIS IS BARBER EDUCATION FROM BARBERS WHO HAVE LIVED IT. 💈

BACK AT IT AGAIN THIS MORNING. 🔥💈

DIFFERENT LOCATION. SAME MISSION.

WE’RE UP EARLY, WORKING HARD, PUTTING IN THE FINAL TOUCHES, FINE-TUNING THE DETAILS AND MAKING SURE WE’RE BRINGING EVERYTHING WE’VE GOT INTO THIS NEXT CHAPTER.

THE LAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN ABOUT TRAINING, LEARNING, PREPARING AND PUSHING EACH OTHER TO GET BETTER. BECAUSE IF WE EXPECT OUR STUDENTS TO GROW, WE HAVE TO KEEP GROWING TOO.

ARE YOU READY?!

OUR FIRST EVER NIGHT CLASS IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT. 💥

THAT ALONE TELLS US WE’RE BUILDING SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT TO BE A PART OF.

TO EVERYONE JOINING US — GET READY. WE’VE BEEN PUTTING IN THE WORK BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE THIS EXPERIENCE BETTER, STRONGER AND MORE DETAILED THAN EVER.

AND IF YOU MISSED THIS NIGHT CLASS… STAY TUNED.

WE’RE ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE. 👀

THE WORK DOESN’T STOP WHEN CLASS ENDS.
THE LEARNING DOESN’T STOP WHEN WE LEAVE THE ACADEMY.
WE PRACTICE WHAT WE TEACH.

DETAILS MATTER.
PREPARATION MATTERS.
GROWTH MATTERS.

LET’S GET TO WORK. 💈🔥

THIS IS HOW IT STARTED… AND THIS IS HOW IT’LL FINISH. TOGETHER. 💈

LOWKEY, THIS HAS BEEN US OFF AND ON FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS.

WORKING TOGETHER. LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER. PUSHING EACH OTHER. TEACHING EACH OTHER. AT THE TIME, WE DIDN’T REALLY SEE WHAT WAS BEING BUILT — BUT LOOKING BACK NOW, IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

WHAT WAS FORMING WAS MORE THAN A WORKING RELATIONSHIP. WE WERE BUILDING TRUST, LEARNING EACH OTHER’S STRENGTHS, RECOGNIZING EACH OTHER’S WEAKNESSES, AND DEVELOPING THE HABITS THAT MAKE A TEAM STRONGER.

NOW WE’RE LOCKED IN WITH A BIGGER PURPOSE.

FIND THE WEAKNESSES. STRENGTHEN THEM.
SHARPEN THE SKILLS. SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE.
CHECK THE EGO. LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.
KEEP BUILDING.

BECAUSE NONE OF US KNOW EVERYTHING — BUT TOGETHER, WE KNOW A WHOLE LOT MORE.

WE’RE FOCUSED ON BRINGING SOMETHING BETTER TO THE BARBER INDUSTRY. BETTER EDUCATION. BETTER BARBERS. BETTER LEADERS. A STRONGER COMMUNITY.

8 YEARS LATER, THE PICTURE IS STARTING TO MAKE SENSE.

THIS IS TEAMWORK.
THIS IS GROWTH.
THIS IS COMMUNITY.
THIS IS THE BARBER LIFE. 💈

AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

HARD AT WORK. 💈🔥

WHILE MOST PEOPLE SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT, THEY DON’T ALWAYS SEE WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THERE.

WEEKENDS SACRIFICED.
LONG DAYS.
LATE NIGHTS.
HOURS OF PRACTICE.
HOURS OF PREPARATION.
AND A CONSTANT DRIVE TO KEEP LEARNING.

PIPER HAS BEEN PUTTING IN THE WORK — NOT ONLY TO EXPAND HIS KNOWLEDGE AS A BARBER, BUT TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING HIS SKILLS AS AN EDUCATOR.

BECAUSE KNOWING HOW TO DO SOMETHING AND KNOWING HOW TO TEACH IT ARE TWO DIFFERENT SKILLS.

WE’VE BEEN GRINDING HARD BEHIND THE SCENES, BREAKING DOWN TECHNIQUES, SHARPENING OUR TEACHING METHODS AND MAKING SURE OUR STUDENTS RECEIVE THE BEST EDUCATION WE CAN POSSIBLY GIVE THEM.

THE FIRST EVER KELOWNA BARBER ACADEMY NIGHT CLASS STARTS AUGUST 10!

PART-TIME EVENING TRAINING
MONDAY–FRIDAY
4:30 PM–9:00 PM
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
HANDS-ON BARBER TRAINING
REAL TECHNIQUES. REAL CLIENTS. REAL INDUSTRY PREPARATION.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

MORE CLASS START DATES ARE COMING — SO IF AUGUST 10 DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU, STAY TUNED.

READY TO START YOUR BARBERING JOURNEY?

CALL OR TEXT: 778-363-9776
DM US FOR PROGRAM DETAILS AND UPCOMING START DATES.

THE TIME GETS SACRIFICED NOW SO THE NEXT GENERATION CAN BE BETTER PREPARED LATER.

WE’RE GRINDING. WE’RE LEARNING. WE’RE BUILDING.

AWAY FROM THE DISTRACTIONS. LOCKED IN ON WHAT MATTERS. 💈

WE MADE IT TO EAGLE BAY FOR THE WEEKEND — NOT TO TAKE A BREAK, BUT TO PUT IN A DIFFERENT KIND OF WORK.

WE’RE TAKING TIME AWAY FROM THE EVERYDAY NOISE TO FOCUS ON IMPROVING OUR TEACHING METHODS, SHARPENING OUR TECHNIQUES, RUNNING THROUGH OUR NEW CURRICULUM, AND IRONING OUT EVERY LAST DETAIL BEFORE WE BRING IT INTO THE CLASSROOM.

GREAT EDUCATION DOESN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. IT TAKES TIME. IT TAKES BEING WILLING TO KEEP LEARNING SO THAT WE CAN KEEP TEACHING BETTER.

AND THIS ISN’T JUST FOR US.

IT’S FOR YOU.

FOR EVERY STUDENT WHO TRUSTS US WITH THEIR EDUCATION. FOR EVERY FUTURE BARBER WHO WALKS THROUGH OUR DOORS EXPECTING US TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING WE’VE GOT.

THIS IS HOW WE SPEND OUR WEEKENDS.

WHILE WE TEACH YOU TO INVEST IN YOUR CRAFT, WE’RE INVESTING IN OURS.

SO THE QUESTION IS…

WHAT’S YOUR BARBER DOING THIS WEEKEND? 💈

THE RELATIONSHIP DOESN’T END AT GRADUATION. 💈

WE’RE ON OUR WAY TO THE SHUSWAPS FOR A TRAINING RETREAT — TAKING TIME AWAY TO SHARPEN OUR OWN SKILLS, LEARN, TRAIN, AND CONTINUE GROWING IN THE CRAFT.

ON THE WAY, WE HAD TO MAKE A STOP AT THE SHOP TO SURPRISE ONE OF OUR GRADUATES AND SEE HOW HE’S DOING OUT IN THE INDUSTRY.

TURNS OUT HE WASN’T THERE 😂 BUT WE STILL GOT TO CONNECT WITH A BROTHER IN THE BARBER COMMUNITY.

THAT’S WHAT THIS INDUSTRY IS ABOUT.

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE CLIENTS IN THE CHAIR. IT’S ABOUT COMMUNITY. SUPPORTING EACH OTHER. STAYING CONNECTED. SHOWING UP FOR THE PEOPLE YOU’VE TRAINED AND CONTINUING TO BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AFTER THEY LEAVE THE ACADEMY.

AND JUST AS IMPORTANT — WE PRACTICE WHAT WE TEACH.

WE TAKE THE TIME TO GET OUT OF THE SHOP AND TRAIN. TO LEARN FROM OTHER BARBERS. TO SHARPEN OUR TECHNIQUES. TO STAY CURRENT. TO COME BACK BETTER SO WE CAN GIVE OUR STUDENTS BETTER.

YOU NEVER GRADUATE FROM LEARNING.

SHUSWAPS BOUND. TIME TO TRAIN. 💈🔥
