Our Barber Program
Bringing Back The Art Of Barbering
Our signature Barber program is offered at our North Seattle location. According to Google, Evergreen is the highest rated program in Washington State and our Barbering classes allow you to concentrate in the area you love most. Many of our graduates work in local salons, shops, and own their own businesses. But they all started with the same first step: Enrolling in our Barbering program. If you live outside the North Seattle commute, as part of our Hair Design program, we offer a concentration in Barber for those who want to focus their training on this growing industry.
Do what you love in under one year. Let us show you how.
Barber and Barbering terminology are utilized interchangeably, but represent the same program.
Real Stories. Real Change.
Watch as our Barber students talk about how our hair and beauty college didn’t just change their career path, it changed their lives.
Financial Aid: How To Finance Your Dream
At EBC, we work hard to keep our tuition affordable. In addition, Federal Student Aid is available for those who qualify. We also offer Washington State Need Grants, College Bound Funds, and Worker Retraining Funds. Our knowledgeable financial aid team will guide you through aid programs and payment options that may help you achieve your career goals.
What You’ll Learn
Our Barber program focuses on design and cutting—from traditional to ultra-trendy hair styles. Unlike other schools, we even teach you a classic and luxurious barbering art: shaving facial hair with a straight-edge razor. You’ll gain valuable experience working with real clients in our campus clinic floor.

Real Schedules For Real Life.
Our schedule flexes with you. At other beauty schools, you’re in class 3 days a week for over 10 hours a day. It can be exhausting. At Evergreen, our EverFlex classes are just 4 hours a day. Plus there are online assignments you can complete at your convenience. Not only is it more humane, but it’s a more focused way to learn as you prepare every day for a career you’ll love.
