This Is Where Barbers Are Made.
Youngstown’s first modern barber academy. 1,800 hours. Real training. Real careers.
The Greatest Of All Trained.
Barber School.
Rebuilt.
We’re not just another barber school — we’re a movement. Based in Youngstown, Ohio, GOAT Barber Academy was built by a 1st Place award-winning barber instructor who got tired of watching talented people graduate from programs that didn’t prepare them for the real world.
1,800 hours of hands-on training. Real clients. Real feedback. Business skills that actually matter. We don’t just prepare you for a state board exam — we prepare you for a career you’re proud of.
Why GOAT Is Different
REAL INSTRUCTION
Taught by Alex Sierra-Tirado — licensed Ohio Barber Instructor and 1st Place Cleveland Barber Expo winner with over 10 years in the industry.
HANDS-ON FROM DAY ONE
You’re on the clinic floor working with real clients early in the program. Not just watching. Not just reading. Actually cutting.
LOWEST TUITION IN THE AREA
At $15,000, GOAT offers the lowest tuition of any licensed barber program in the area — with flexible payment plans and tuition discounts for larger down payments.
BUILT FOR YOUNGSTOWN
This school was built for this community. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a chain. We’re your neighbors — and we’re invested in seeing this city win.
We’re Building Our First Class.
