Who We Are

We’ve been helping aspiring barbers launch their careers since 2009. LaBarberia Institute of Hair (Cleveland Barber College, Inc.) has created a diverse learning environment where students can develop their skills and nurture their creativity under the guidance of supportive teachers. We’re inspired by “old school” barbering and the beauty industry, so students have an opportunity to develop classic barbering skills while learning how to deliver exceptional customer service.

We want to help build up a new generation of entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and micropreneurs in the barbering and esthetic professions. Our goal is to reshape the industry with an advanced curriculum in an environment focusing on diversity and inclusion. All are welcome here.

Our History

Laura Clemente, a barber since 1983 and business owner since 1989, was always inspired by the diligence of “old school” barbers and the beauty industry. That inspiration prompted her vision of opening a barber school one day that would overcome mediocrity and cater wholly to the student, the client, and the community.

That vision was realized in 2009 when Cleveland Barber College, Inc dba LaBarberia Institute of Hair was founded. Laura now works to ensure that her Institute continuously and consistently provides opportunities that enrich lives, inspiring others to thrive, serve, and excel.

Today, the Institute is a professional school committed to excellence in career training. Here, students experience top-quality education and expert job training in practice on live models. They are guided by skilled instructors who collectively have decades of experience as licensed barber stylists and estheticians in Ohio.
