BARBERING CROSSOVER
About Barbering Crossover
If you are a licensed cosmetologist looking to obtain a dual license in barbering, expand your skills and clientele, consider our Barbering Crossover program.
You’ll learn the general principles of shaving with a straight razor to include hair texture, grain of the beard and analysis of the skin along with cutting strokes. You will also learn the specifics of mustache, as well as beard trimming and design.
State Board preparation is included in the program, so you’ll be ready to get your barbering license upon completion!
After You Apply
To participate in this program, students must have a copy of their current Colorado Cosmetology license. The law as it now requires the Barbering Crossover candidate to hold a valid, current Colorado Cosmetology license. The Hairstyling license cannot be used to add additional specialties as it is limited in its scope of practice.
After you apply, please email a copy of your Colorado Cosmetology license to admissions@emilygriffith.edu
