Barber School

BARBER SCHOOL CELEBRATES NEW DOWNTOWN LOCATION

Cape Fear Community College’s Barber School moved to its new downtown location August 7, 2019, increasing visibility for the school and foot-traffic in its classroom shop.

“This is such an ideal spot for the school,” said Deginald King, program director. “The visibility of this location will draw a lot of clients in the door, and help our students get the practice hours they need to earn their licenses.”

Cape Fear Community College’s full-time barbering program is a 15-17 month program. The program prepares students for the North Carolina Board Exam. Students who are successful on the North Carolina Board Exam earn an apprentice license.

“We love having the barber school students on the downtown Wilmington Campus. The barbering students are able to interact with the larger student body and have plenty of students, CFCC employees, and campus neighbors as clients.” —Jim Morton, CFCC President
