Barber School in Mississauga

People search for a barber school in Mississauga when they want to learn to cut hair. It helps to know what the word school is doing in that search.

A licensing program leads toward the provincial hairstyling certificate and runs on classroom hours. Private hands-on training is built around one thing, getting you cutting well on real heads. CADMEN Barber Academy is the second kind.

What the training gives you

  • Private studio in Mississauga at 1684 Lakeshore Road West, Unit 18B

Licensing, stated plainly

Ontario offers different routes according to your background. A registered apprenticeship is one route. Experienced workers may qualify to challenge the certifying exam through a Trade Equivalency Assessment; holders of an eligible Canadian credential may use the recognized-certificate process. Ask Skilled Trades Ontario which route applies before choosing training.
