This isn’t a normal experience

A 200 year-old craft is not something you can pick up overnight. Each of our trained professionals goes through the equivalent of a masters program in the art of barbering.

It begins with a 1500 hours school program and a state exam. Upon completion, each aspiring student enters into an 18-month apprentice program under the guidance of a certified Master Barber. Once the apprenticeship is finished, another rigorous state exam is giving in which knowledge of the history of barbering, anatomy, physiology, the circulatory system and licensing laws are demonstrated. If completed, students are certified a Master Barber by their respective states. It’s a process that takes nearly two years, 
but for The New York Shaving Company Barbers, the journey has just begun.

The New York Shaving Company has such high standards for their barbers, that a minimum of five years experience at the Master Barber level is required for consideration. It’s a period of time that allows each barber to hone their skills beyond the training they have received. It’s also a period of time that makes the employment by The New York Shaving Company both an honor and a worthy accomplishment
