stein high barbering academy

Stein Barbering Academy proudly celebrated its Grand Opening on Friday, April 10th—marking a significant milestone for students, staff, and the entire community.  The event highlighted the inspiring journey from Principal, Traci Mitchell’s original vision to the fully realized academy it is today.

Guests enjoyed guided tours of the state-of-the-art classroom and salon, featuring top-tier equipment including professional salon chairs, washing stations, clippers, razors, and a full range of hair care products. The space reflects a strong commitment to excellence and hands-on learning.

Students, dressed in white or black smocks to signify their training hours, demonstrated both professionalism and pride in their craft. That pride was shared by instructor Nico Heron, paraeducator Paula Arce, and the entire student body—evident in the smiles and enthusiasm throughout the event.

The grand opening was not just a celebration of a new facility, but a testament to dedication, vision, and the bright future ahead for aspiring barbers in the community.
