Groomed Academy specialises in short courses, offering expert tuition, creating total skill and proficiency in all aspects of barbering and male grooming.
The benefits of attending Groomed Academy courses:

• You can raise prices and still keep a growing clientele
• You can retain clients through being proficient in the latest trends
• Students can be employed immediately after the course, and start earning
Barbers are currently in huge demand. “We have so many barber shops requesting staff, that I can send students for interviews straight after completing the course, and 95% of them are employed immediately,” explains Eric Way, academy founder and principal.
Eric’s business advice for barbers? “There is a huge demand for male grooming services that are more than just basic barbering. If a barber wants to upgrade his services and set himself apart from lower priced competition, he needs to create a point of difference and this can be done through offering additional male grooming services.”
The new Groomed Academy is based in Somerset West where courses are held in the evenings (to accommodate working students). Selected courses are also held regularly in Johannesburg and in other areas from time to time.
Here’s a look at the incredible education offered at Groomed Academy:
CUTTING & FADING FOR BEGINNERS (10 days)
Mastering the art of using a clipper and learning different styles of fades, this course gives the Beginner the foundation and basic knowledge of the cutting processes on a mannequin head and live models. You will learn a variety of different fades and clipper, scissor combinations.
CUTTING & FADING ADVANCED (5 days)
This course is for those with cutting experience wanting to upskill or improve their technique of clippering and fading. Great for those stylists that are a little rusty and need a refresher.

Hot Towel/Wet shaving is an art form that has rapidly come back into fashion and is an increasingly important skill for barbers and hair salons. We train a maximum of 4 students in a group on several product ranges including The Bluebeards Revenge Shaving range from the UK, The Captains Beard, and Paul Mitchell's MVRCK from the USA. Facial waxing is also covered.
