About Us
A+ Barber School Est. 2020
What sets A+ Barber School apart from other barber schools is the team’s wealth of experience—Dave’s since 2002 of barbering combined along with director Tonya Collier and Bridgette Rodriguez, well-known instructors in the area.
On top of teaching hair cutting and styling techniques, they teach interpersonal customer service skills and how to manage cash money. In addition, they emphasize the importance of punctuality, adhering to Christian values, and remaining substance-free. They also cover IRAs and retirement planning for a self-employed person.
“It’s 10 percent cutting hair and 90 percent how to do life as a barber and be successful at it,” says Dave.
Envisioning the barber school being a ministry much like ABS.
“Everything we do is to glorify God,” says Dave, who has been involved in prison ministry for nine years.
In short, Dave wants to be a positive influence to his students by exhibiting Christian morals and offering regular devotionals and prayers.
“It’s not a Bible college. It’s a barber college, but there is scripture on the walls!” says Dave Collins. “We want to teach folks how to be successful in the business but with their morals intact.”
