About Us

---

Barber School 1 is here to continue the legacy of a closed barber school in Jackson, Tennessee. We strive to provide educational training to interested people looking to start a career in the barbering industry. We offer theory and practical training to prepare our students for a  career as a Master Barber/Master Barber Instructor.

The school was started in 2021. The owner, Lamar Hobson Jr, a Master Barber for over 30 years and a Master Barber Instructor for 11 years, wished to see his community thrive again with the opening of the Barber School. The years of experience has given him opportunity to produce jobs in the community and provide services to keep the community healthy and flowing. Mr. Hobson has dedicated his time to the Barbering industry, and wishes to help young individuals prosper in the industry and find their place within it. 

The school is currently certified as a licensed institution under the State of Tennessee Board of Barber Examiners.
