History

The Bayview Barber College was born out of an idea of Dwayne Robinson and with the help of the City of San Francisco has come into operation. The purpose of this school is to bring a vocational training program into the Southeastern Section of San Francisco. The college has been assisted by the California Barber College Association along with Dwayne Robinson, Executive Director, to bring on line yet another institution that will contribute to the growth of the barbering profession.

The Bayview Barber College (BBC) will give youth and adults the opportunity to attend a local Barber College and receive the state licensing to open and establish their own proprietorship. Building a cadre of entrepreneurs that will strengthen the community.

Courses have been developed and are offered in basic barbering hair styling, hairdressing, review, refresher, and post-graduate courses. In addition, we have developed and offer an outstanding teacher training program for persons desiring to become qualified and licensed as instructors to teach in barber colleges and Post-Secondary Education Programs.

The secondary objectives of the various training programs are to prepare the student for entry level position and to take and pass the licensing examinations, expose the student to the industry related products, promote professional ethics and standards and instill a strong sense of self for their future in this rewarding profession/industry.

The college maintains a continuous program of research, evaluation and development programs in the various fields of academic teaching and in the barber/styling and hairdressing industry. The training program has been designed to provide a step-by-step method of training which allows students to progress at their own pace. The course design allows individualized instruction when needed or practical.

The major emphasis of the training course is in clinical or practical hair styling and hairdressing. This is necessary to ensure success when the student enters the professional ranks of barbering, hair styling and hairdressing as a licensed professional. The college enjoys a reputation of not only educating and training persons to be successful barbers, hair stylists and hairdressers but also: to be leaders within the industry and the community. We are proud of these accomplishments.

We are committed as a college to continue the best training program within the industry, knowing that this will produce successful professionals and in turn contribute to the upgrading of the barbering industry.
