Stylist / Barber

Stylists and barbers master a hands-on craft and often build a business around it. This internship puts you inside a community salon and barbershop, working through a personalized plan to enter the industry: skill development, practice, tools, client relationships, the business basics, and a long-term career plan. You will learn why a great chair is about trust as much as technique.
