About the academy

Taught by a working barber, not a textbook

Real training, from someone who’s done the work.

— Elizabeth Pizzey

Elizabeth's Train to be a Barber was created by Elizabeth Pizzey to open up a trade that changed her own life. The course is the training she wishes she had starting out: clear, honest and built around what actually happens behind the chair.

Every lesson is filmed up close so you can see exactly what the hands are doing — the angle of the clipper, the weight of the comb, where a fade really blends. You learn the same way an apprentice would, only on your own schedule and at a fraction of the cost.

Finish all twelve lessons and you earn a certificate to show for it — and the confidence to pick up the clippers for real.
