McDougle Technical Institute will set you on the right foot to starting your barber career! We have hand-picked experienced instructors and purposefully kept our class sizes small so you can get the personal guidance you need to develop into the best barber that you can be.

McDougle Technical Institute’s? Barber-Styling program was created to arm you with technical skills, barbering knowledge, and first-hand experience, so you can enter the barber industry with confidence and competence.

Our Barber-Styling program is taught by a lead instructor who works for a local barbershop; Pro’s Barbering. When you enroll in this program, you not only get a standard barbering kit, you also get additional tools like a jacket, neck dusters, and barbering pencils that are used in trendy barber shops around the world.

We’re currently working toward an online and in-person accredited Barber-Styling program. You’ll be able to learn theory at home (online) and then practice what you learned on actual clients in our student salon. We’re proud to be the first school in Florida to offer a hybrid online learning program for Cosmetology students and we’re excited to add Barber-Styling to the list!

During McDougle Technical Institute’s Barber-Styling program you’ll learn:

• Hair Relaxing
• Full Color Changes
• Highlights
• Perms
• Blow Dries
• Women’s Cuts
• Men’s Cuts
• Networking
• Marketing
• Laws

• and much more!

Once you complete the Barber-Styling program you’ll be prepared to take the state board exam to earn your Barber license. Our goal is for you to complete your program, pass the state board exam, and find gainful employment working as a Barber.

Transfer credits are accepted on a case by case basis.
