Awesome experience! Discovered this place from a social media post. A training academy for aspiring barbers. Instructors pay close attention. Jay has handled my haircuts twice. Personable and very diligent in his craft. Solid haircut all around. Right off the Cumberland Blue line stop. Was able to purchase an unlimited haircuts for the year package. Outstanding value. Note: student barbers are permitted to accept gratuities. Also, they do offer shaves. Have not indulged myself yet, but will do soon.

I recently visited the Wahl Barber Academy for a haircut, and I wanted to leave a review about the professionalism and quality of the environment. From the moment I walked in, every single staff member and student I interacted with was friendly and professional. The atmosphere is clean, well-organized, and clearly focused on training students to a high standard of customer service. My barber, Chris, was fantastic in his approach. He was friendly, professional, and very dedicated to the service. While he is definitely still honing his skills as expected in an academy setting, his focus and dedication were commendable. Overall, I had a great experience and felt very well taken care of. If you're looking for a service that supports a student learning their craft in a controlled and profess

Just had a haircut done by Hayden and it was absolutely great and sharp. Didn’t feel like I got a haircut from barber academy, students here are professionals and pretty neat and clean at what they are doing. Happy to recommend this place to my friends and relatives🙌. P.S: Hayden deserves something special.

Jessica cut my hair today. This was the best haircut i have received in the last 5 years. I explained my struggles with past haircuts, how i wanted my hair to be and not to be like, and Jessica listened to and executed on everything that i was looking for. The cut was very cost effective too at only $14 + tip, which Jessica definitely earned a big tip.
