I am a current barber student at Ea La Mars who is about to graduate in the next weeks and i just have to say this was the best decision i could’ve made coming out of high school. The amount of knowledge and skills i was able to absorb through my time here is phenomenal. The instructors are amazing and treat you as if you’re one of their own. Very professional and clean and would recommend in a heart beat.
