Barbering
Master the craft behind the chair. Technical precision, professional standards, and the skills to build a lasting career in barbering.



Whether you’re drawn to the craft, the culture, or the independence that comes with owning your chair, OMNA’s Barbering Program gives you the foundation to build something real.
Barbering is one of the oldest professions in the world. The chair means something. We treat it that way.
The program focuses on developing technical skill in cutting, shaving, grooming, and professional practice. Students build precision and confidence through structured progression and real client work, not just classroom exercises.
Graduates leave ready to sit for the Virginia state board exam and step into a career where skill and reputation are everything.

Training at OMNA centers on the realities of working behind the chair, where technique, timing, and attention to detail come together every single appointment.
Built through real practice
You’ll develop control in cutting, shaving, and grooming through consistent practice and supervised client work: clean execution, strong fundamentals, and professional presence from day one.
Rooted in barbering culture
The barbering industry has its own culture, standards, and traditions. OMNA’s program respects that history while preparing you for the modern professional environment, whether that’s a traditional barbershop, a high-end grooming studio, or your own business.
