Welcome to Jacobs Barber Academy. Launching this year, the Academy is a place where we are bringing together our years of experience and passion for education. Whether or not you have ever held a pair of scissors before – there will be opportunities for you to get involved with the incredible barber community in Bristol.
"We're dedicated to training the next generation, and to keep the community thriving"
Our approach to Barbering combines technical skill, individual expression, and most importantly – a deep consideration for client perspective.
Our training courses are designed to empower and up-skill barbers to be technically proficient, creatively enabled, and fully prepared to give their clients the best possible experience.
In 2025, the barbershop remains one of the few places where real, human connection thrives. It’s more than just a service—it’s a space where culture, craft, and a unique community all work together.
The Academy doesn’t just teach barbering—we strive to strengthen the industry by shaping professionals who recognize its value, are passionate about the craft, and who are excited to foster the unique relationships built in the chair.
Stay up to date
Whether you’re starting fresh or refining your craft, the Academy is your gateway to a career where technique meets expression, and where every cut strengthens the connection between barber and client.
