MICHIGAN BARBER SCHOOL est. 1947

Today I started my 7 day trip at Michigan Barber School. I was trilled by the history and the students that attended the class today. I only had an hour, but I saw the passion and the hunger for knowledge in their eyes as I spoke about professionalism and drive. Here is a little information on them.

The Michigan Barber School, Inc. was founded in January 1947 in Detroit, Michigan to provide tonsorial instruction and related sciences. Since its inception, the school has relocated three times in the Detroit area, and with each move the school has enjoyed continuous growth together with substantial improvement in physical facilities, equipment, and curriculum.

Forrest F. Green, the founder, successfully managed the school from 1947 until his retirement in 1974, after which his son, Forrest F. Green, Jr., became the managing director of the school and continues to serve in that position.

The purpose of the Michigan Barber School is to train potentially the finest barbers in America. The school’s philosophy is to provide successful, Licensed Barber/Stylists in a profession that is virtually unaffected by the economic conditions, employment cycles, age, creed, color, or any standing in society.

The Michigan Barber School’s primary educational objective is to prepare students for entrance or advancement in the Barber/Styling occupation, requiring technical and/or career oriented competencies and skills. The school’s educational objectives are career oriented and provide students with the necessary competencies, skills, and level of education for employment in the Barber/Styling field of study. The Michigan Barber School must ensure that all required courses and assistance are available to enable students to complete their program of study. – Section II (A)(7) of the Standards of Accreditation.
