By participating in the Five Star Academy Apprenticeship Program, students are able to immediately work as a student (or apprentice) alongside one of our in-house licensed barbers or cosmetologists. This individual will then serve as your trainer and will be present at all times while you practice and perform your newfound skills, answering all your questions and ensuring you’re doing everything correctly.

Through this program, it’s possible to earn an income while also gaining real-world experience cutting hair. As a Five Star Academy Apprentice, you’ll work on real, paying clients everyday while under the supervision of our licensed staff members. This program also allows you to start building your own client base and to create relationships with customers who will use your services in the future.

If you’re an intermediate student (someone who has prior experience cutting hair but is not fully confident in their skills) or someone who is essentially an “unofficial” barber or cosmetologist, this program is ideal for you. We’re excited to help you gain the essential interpersonal skills and real-world application you need to work in a salon or barber shop. In fact, you can also transfer hours and credits from another apprenticeship school to enroll into ours!
