Becoming a barber is not that hard but can  cost a bit of money but at the end of the day its worth it. it all deppends on the route you want to take  you could either go to school or work under a master barber as his or her apprentice this is the cheapest way to go about being a barber you first work under this master barber for a good amount of time depending on what state you live in and then you could take your masters exam but be sure the master barber shows you the proper way the exam has to be taken so you could pass there will be small fees that apply there are a few application fees nothing crazy your trainer

 should help you with this your best bet before going to a barbershop and asking a master barber for your apprenticeship try to learn a little about cutting hair because you want the master barber to see you have potential because he cant just put you on anyones hair cut if your going to mess it up so you should try to know a bit about cutting hair before you ask and you could do that bye using my (BARBER QUEST dvd) that will show you exactly what you need to do step by step this dvd will help alot and put you where you need to be before you even start your apprenticeship or you could go to school going to school can help alot you get to practice on people who know that you are learning and you leave a master barber but this could cost lots of money and take up lots of time but if you can afford it and you have the time go for it but the way people cut hair in school and the way people cut hair in the real world its just not the same not trying to knock going to school for cutting hair but they are not the same just being real even if you do go to school try to get around some  barbers  in a barbershops and look at the way they cut  and you will see they are not the same but if you take that route be sure  to google the state you live in and next to that type in barber schools and a list of schools should come up in your area so good luck stay contestant dont give up pactice make perfect you can do it !!!!!!
