Launch Your Babering Career Without College Debt

Looking for a practical career path without traditional college debt? Our Class A Barber program delivers hands-on training that gets you job-ready in as little as seven months.

Unlike other barber schools in the area, Brighton Barber Institute is one of the few offering Federal Financial Aid for our Texas Class A Barber license program, making quality education accessible to everyone.

Our modern, professional facility provides an elevated learning experience that stands out from typical inner-city barber schools. Here, you’ll master all the skills needed to pass the Texas Class A Barber written exam and practical assessment while learning in a supportive environment with instructors dedicated to your success.

Real Stories from Real BBI Graduates

Before BBI, I was working a dead-end job making minimum wage. Nine months after enrolling, I’m making $50K+ working at an upscale barbershop with amazing clients. The financial aid made it possible, and the skills I learned made it happen.

Class of 2024
Now working at District Barbershop

As a single mom, I needed a career that would provide for my family without spending years in school. Brighton Barber Institute’s flexible scheduling allowed me to care for my daughter while completing my training. Within 2 weeks of getting my Class A Barber license, I had three job offers.

Jasmine K.
Class of 20243
Now working at Boardroom Salon

After serving in the military, I wasn’t sure what career path to take. Using my GI Bill benefits at BBI was the best decision I could have made. Their instructors are actual professionals who teach you not just cutting hair, but how to run a business. I’m now opening my own shop.
