Who it's for

You're starting from zero and need the base before the speed.

You need correction while the cut is happening.

You want to know why the movement works before repeating it.

You want supervised practice before taking real clients.

How it works

Max 6 students. Two trainers in the room.

Bertus demonstrates. You practise. The correction happens on your own work.

Practice starts on mannequins. Real models come in as your control builds.

You leave each session knowing what to fix next.

After
training.

Students talk through what changed after training.

From scratch
to client-ready,
step by step.

Before you

What people usually ask before requesting dates.

No. This starts at zero. If you have never cut professionally, that is the point.

The practice kit is included. We send the preparation list when you request dates.

Maximum 6. That is how Bertus and Ricardo can stay close to your work.

At Bertus Academy in Arcozelo, Barcelos. You can find it on Google Maps as Bertus Academy.

You leave with the base, a certificate, and one month of follow-up. Some students are approached by barbershops before they finish.
