GVIII Barber Academy

Took my son to get his haircut for the first time today. Was greeted and welcomed almost immediately. We didnt wait long for him to get in the chair either. The staff enjoyed my baby I brought with me as well. They were personable and calm. I didn’t catch the barbers name who took care of my son’s haircut today but he deserves recognition! Their prices are unmatched as well. Very affordable! Can’t beat it. A hidden gem in Rochester. We are in love with his haircut thanks to GVIII!

My Journey with very little knowledge of barbering started in January with GVIII Barber Academy. 2 months later and I'm in motion. Feeling more and more confident with every client that sits in my chair. Highly recommend Gil.

Great school. Im currently a student here and the teaching environment is great. Its a very realistic atmosphere to that of a barbershop and it places you directly into the day to day activity of a barber.

I was one of the first students in this program. I am now a licensed barber and I am very confident because of what I learned here. The classes were very Hands-On and they were taught by experienced barbers who know what it is to be a barber not just the cool part but also how to manage my own business. I would 100% recommend people looking to become barbers to enroll in this program

We have built the best curriculum and support for our Barber Students to learn to cut hair, prepare for the NYS Board Exam, and grow business for themselves that will last a lifetime. 💈💈💈💈💈💈 -Gil Vargas, Owner
