Barber/Styling College, Inc. was formed February 28,
1992, in
The instructional facilities at the Barber/Styling
College of Lansing are some of the most modern in the state. The practical training area is equipped to
accommodate 40 full time students. There
are barber and styling chairs, sanitizers, lather machines, mirrors, linen
cabinets, and lavatories with hot and cold running water as required by the
Michigan Barber Laws. The classroom area
is equipped with student desks, 4’x8’ chalkboard, anatomy charts, VCR equipment
for viewing educational tapes, reference books on barbering and barber’s
instructor training, medical dictionary, standard dictionary, and mannequins for
the practicing of wrapping permanent wave rods and applying hair relaxers, hair
color, and lighteners. Lockers are also
furnished to students for their personal belongings. All of the pictures included in this catalog
and flyer were taken at this facility.
The
first and foremost responsibility of the College is to help each student reach
their fullest potential. To attain this
goal we have implemented time proven “hands-on” training under the supervision
of licensed barber instructors. In the
school environment we duplicate the tasks and working conditions that students
will face as a licensed barber.
Instructors are always available to answer questions as they arise and
to guide students through new tasks and techniques.
In
following this philosophy we feel we will best prepare each student to reach
three main goals:
1. Develop solid entry-level skills to successfully enter the barbering profession
2. Pass the Barber licensing examination
and become licensed
3. Develop the skills and desire needed to
remain successful in the years to come
Barber/Styling College, Inc. agrees to comply with the title VI of the civil rights acts of 1964 (P.L. 88352) and all requirements imposed by or pursuant to the regulation of the Department of Education (45 CFT PART 80) issued pursuant to that end, in accordance with title VI of the act and regulations, no person in the U.S. shall, on the grounds of race, sex, color, age, religion, or national origin, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subject to discrimination under any program or activity for which the applicant received Federal Financial Assistance from the Department, and hereby gives assurance that we will immediately take any measure necessary to effectuate this agreement.
Pursuant to the family educational rights and privacy act
of 1974, a student or former student has the right to inspect his or her
educational records maintained by the school.
A student must request in writing that the School Director make his or
her file available for inspection. In
order to gain access to their cumulative records, an appointment will be made
by the School Director within a 30 day period:
and files will be viewed under the supervision of a member of the
administrative staff. The school does not release information unless agreed
upon with the student in writing. A form
will be provided to the student for this purpose.
Classes are scheduled continuously throughout the year
with the following holidays observed:
New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day and the subsequent Friday, and Christmas Day and the day after.
New
classes start each month. Exact starting
dates for the current year are listed in the Class Starting Date section of
this catalog.
Average class size is 4 students with a maximum enrollment of 40 full time students.
The
daily class schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:15 am to 5:00 pm with 45
minutes for lunch. The barbering course
is a 2000 clock hour program. One clock
hour is equivalent to 60 minutes of training.
Classes
are scheduled for 40 hours per week so the barbering program can be completed
in one year (50 weeks).
In
order to meet the course requirements you must complete 250 hours of theory
training and 1750 hours of practical training.

Prospective
students desiring to apply for admission are asked to call the school and
schedule a personal interview with the School Director. It is a required recommendation for all
prospective students to visit the school before signing the Enrollment Agreement. During this interview we can answer your
questions regarding the course, licensing, or just general questions regarding
the barbering profession.
At
the time of signing the Enrollment Agreement we will need:
1.
Proof of High
School completion (copy of your diploma or GED certificate)
2. Proof of Identification (copy of driver’s license and social security card)
3.
A completed
application for a student license
4.

OF
After meeting all the above prerequisites, an Enrollment Agreement must be completed and a $25.00 application fee paid. The application fee will be refunded if the Enrollment Agreement is canceled within three days after the agreement has been signed.
The
Michigan Board of Barber Examiners requires that all students obtain a student
license before starting classes. Prior
to enrollment each applicant must submit an application for a student barber
license accompanied with a check or money order for $80.00 made out to: “STATE OF

1. A student may voluntarily withdraw or cancel from the program by contacting the School Director.
2.
If the student
is not accepted by the College and denied entry to start classes, then all
monies paid by the student to the College shall be refunded in full.
3.
If the student
cancels this Enrollment Agreement within 72 hours (midnight of the third day
excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Legal Holidays) after this agreement has been
signed, then the College shall give to the Student a full refund of any monies
paid.
4. If the student decides to cancel this Enrollment Agreement after 72 hours, but prior to classes starting they may do so by contacting the School Director and all monies paid will be refunded to the student, except the $25 application fee, which will be kept by the College.
5. If a student withdraws or terminates classes after 72 hours and commencement of classes, refunds of tuition and other fees will be based upon the following terms and conditions (excluding the non-refundable sum of $900.00 for the Administrative Fee of $100.00 and the Tool Kit of $800.00):
a.
The effective
date of the termination will be the last day of attendance by the student.
b.
The College,
upon termination in any form, shall charge the student a mandatory $100
Administrative Fe, and retain or be due a percentage of the tuition and other
fees for the number of clock hours completed, rounded up to the nearest
10%. The College shall make a pro rata
refund of the remaining tuition and fees, if any, as follows:
i.
The pro rata
refund due shall be calculated by dividing the total number of clock hours
comprising the period of enrollment for which the student has been charged into
the number of clock hours remaining to be completed by that student. The refund due shall be rounded downward to
the nearest 10 percent, less any unpaid charges owed by the student for the
period of enrollment for which the student has been charged.
ii.
If the student
terminates or withdraws after completing 60% or more of the program, the
College shall retain or be due 100% of the tuition and other fees and no refund
shall be made.
For example, in a 2000 clock hour course:
A
student starts classes and completes 8% (160 hours),
the school is due 10% of the tuition and fees ($480.00) and $100.00
Administrative Fee. A student starts
classes and completes 35% (700 hours); the school is due 40% of the tuition and
fees ($1,920.00) and $100.00 Administrative Fee. A student starts classes and completes 61%
(1220 hours); the school is due all tuition and fees ($4,800.00).
Refunds,
as determined, will be returned to the student within 60 days after the
effective date of termination or withdrawal.
There will be no refund of state license fees or tools and textbooks, as
these become the student’s personal property.
Refunds
for Veterans after entering School will be made as follows: If a student fails to enter a course or
withdraws, or is discontinued wherefrom at any time prior to completion, the
refund of advanced payments will be on a pro-rata portion of the charges for
tuition, registration fees less $10.00, and other fees or charges paid to the
school. There will be no refund of State
License fees, or tools and textbooks, as these are separate costs and
independent from charges made for tuition.
State Licenses, textbooks, and tools become the property of the student
on the first day of classes and they are responsible for them from that time
on. In the case of refunds to the student, all refunds will be totally
dispersed within 60 days after the effective date of termination.
On the first day of class, students have a chance to familiarize themselves with fellow students, faculty, and the school. School policies will be explained in detail at that time.
Housing cannot be obtained from the school and the school does not accept any responsibility in finding quality housing for students, although we will assist when possible.
All
students will be given a copy of the schedule for classes on their first
day. A copy will also be posted in the
classroom. This schedule has been
developed to meet the state of

Students
receive grades based on weekly test scores. They will be tested on the theory
material covered that week in class. A grade on practical work will also be
given monthly. The practical grade is a
combination of work habits and the development of technical skills, as observed
by the instructors throughout the month.
Work habits would include attendance, attitude, customer relations,
sanitation, etc. Technical skills would
include haircutting, shaving, shampooing, hairstyling, chemical services, product
knowledge, etc.
The following
grading system will be used:
Excellent A 90 - 100%
Good B 80 -
89%
Average C 70 -
79%
Failing
D 60 -
69%
Incomplete F 0% -

Any student not meeting the following Minimum Satisfactory Progress Requirements for theory scores or attendance, will be placed on a 60-day probation, and must meet the minimum requirements for the next 60 days. If improvement is not shown and maintained then the student will be placed on a 30-day suspension. Any student returning from a 30-day suspension must meet the minimum satisfactory progress requirements every month or they will be terminated from the program.
All
students must maintain the following minimum monthly averages for their theory
scores:
0-499 clock hours------ 70% minimum avg.
500-999 clock hours---- 75% minimum avg.
1000-1499 clock hours-- 80% minimum avg.
1500-2000 clock hours-- 85% minimum avg.
Students will have one week to make up any work not completed due to absences. Any work not completed within one week will receive 0%, which will be averaged with the other grades for that month’s theory score.
All
students must attend classes a minimum of 95% of their scheduled hours every
month. This means that in any one month a student may be absent only 5% of
their scheduled hours for that month (5% is usually equal to 8 clock hours per
month). If a student is absent between
5% and 15% they will be placed on probation for the next 60 days. If a student is absent more than 15% of their
scheduled hours (15% is usually equal to 24 clock hours per month), they will
be placed on a 30-day suspension or terminated from the program.
At the
end of each month every student will receive a monthly progress report. This
report is used to monitor progress in all areas and to notify the student of
their current rate of progress. If there
are any problem areas, every effort will be made to assist the student in
improving their performance. We have
handouts available outlining the chapters, textbook material on cassette tapes,
workbooks, videotapes, and extra tutoring from the instructors.
Any time a student is having a difficult time; it is strongly recommended they ask for help in the problem area immediately. This way the problem can be corrected and school can once again become a more enjoyable experience. Instructors are always available for extra help.
In an effort to develop good work habits that will be expected by future employers, all students are required to attend classes regularly. Students that are absent more than 5% of the scheduled hours in any given month will be placed on 60-day probation. Any student that is absent more than 15% of the scheduled hours in one month will be placed on 30-day suspension. If unexcused absences continue, the student will be terminated. Any hours missed must be made up. The requirement for completing the course is 2000 clock hours. Any student absent for more than 10 consecutive days and fails to contact the school will be automatically terminated. The school will not be responsible for any personal possessions left behind.
At the
time of signing the enrollment agreement, every student will be given a
projected graduation date. This date
will include a maximum of 12 excused days of absences during the total
2000-hour course. Any student that fails
to complete the course on their projected graduation date will be charged an
additional $3.00 per hour for any remaining hours needed to complete the
course. In any event, the student cannot
exceed 150% of the projected time for completing the course.
Students
are required to arrive at school and punch-in on the time clock before 8:15
am. Any classes missed must be made up
in order to meet the state curriculum requirements listed in the Michigan
Barber Laws. Each student will receive a
copy of the Michigan Barber Laws and Barber College Curriculum on their first
day of class. To encourage students to
be punctual, the school has implemented the following policy:
Students will be docked the time they are
late rounded to the next quarter hour.
Continued tardiness will not be tolerated. Any student not in attendance a minimum of 95% of their scheduled hours will be placed on probation, suspension or terminated as outlined below.
The term
“Probation” means that over the next 60 days a student must improve and
maintain any area they are not currently meeting in the Minimum Satisfactory Progress
Requirements. The term “Suspension”
means that the student will not be allowed to attend classes for the next 30
days. When they return they will be
required to meet the Minimum Satisfactory Progress Requirements every month or
they will be terminated from the program.
The term “Termination” means that a student will be dropped from the
program.
The
school reserves the right to terminate any student for the following reasons:
1. Fails to meet satisfactory
progress requirements.
2. Is found to be disruptive in
any way that would interfere with the smooth operation of the school.
3. Is involved in any illegal or
destructive behavior.
4. Or for other reasons that
would reflect in a negative way on the Barber/Styling College of Lansing.
5. Fails to follow the Schools
Rules and Policies.
Any time a student is placed on probation, suspension, or is terminated they may appeal to the school director explaining their situation. The director will make a final decision on the status of the student.
Any
student may request a leave of absence in writing for up to 100 days. Only one leave of absence may be granted
during the 2000-hour course. All leave
of absences will be granted subject to the discretion of the school
director. The projected graduation date
will be extended, considering the leave of absence time.
When all
the following requirements have been fulfilled the student will be presented
with a diploma, showing they have successfully completed the course.
When all these requirements have been met the student will be eligible to graduate and apply for the Michigan Barber Examination.

eligible for licensing in the State of
The
Barber/Styling College of Lansing maintains a file of names and addresses of
employers that have contacted the school requesting barbers. We also maintain a
list of barbers that are looking for new jobs.
This file is available to all of our students. Both present and former students may take
advantage of this service. Like all
reputable schools, we cannot guarantee our graduates employment or salaries.
As
part of our training, students are expected to maintain a level of
professionalism that would be acceptable in a job situation. No more will be expected of any student than
what will be required in the future by any successful shop or salon owner.
A
copy of the school rules and policies will be given to each student during the
orientation process. These rules have
been developed to keep the school running smoothly. The school reserves the right to place a
student on probation, suspension, or terminate a student for violation of
school rules and policies.
