Get inside and see what the members actually get before you pay a penny. Seven days, cancel any time.
Everyone inside for the free week gets it. Sam and Cal introduce the platform, explain what they built it for, show you where to start depending on where you are at, and answer what people put in the chat.
Four working barbers who joined the Academy, talking about what changed for them.
The free week is open to anyone, but you only have 72 hours to enter. Sign up in that window or you miss it.
You get an email with your link. Card details go on at signup, nothing is taken for seven days, and you can cancel from inside the app in two taps. Sunday 6pm the link stops working. No late entries.
Your week starts the moment you join, not on a fixed date. Join Thursday night and you have got until the following Thursday.
Sam and Cal host a live call for all members inside Skool. What is in there, where a beginner starts, where a working barber starts, and what they built the Academy for. Replay sent after.
A preview of the classroom, filmed and taught the same way as every lesson inside.
Not a sample or preview. 7 days of full access to our content and the community, alongside all of our current members.
Read the critique threads as they run. Where the weight sits, where the blend drops off, what to tidy round the ear. Sam and Cal are in there daily replying to work members post, and you get to read every one of those replies.
The main cut library. Scissor cuts mid length and long, skinfades, skin tapers, burst fades, buzz cuts, mod cuts, mullets, warrior cuts and creative cuts. New drops added, not a fixed set filmed once.
The structured route through. Essential tools, the basics done properly, then scissor, clipper and razor work, styling, and Challenging Hair Solutions for receding hairlines and full restyles.
Six weeks, one fade a week. Burst, mid, buzz cut, low drop, V cut and taper. If your fades are inconsistent rather than wrong, this is the part that fixes it.
Head anatomy, sectioning patterns, hair shapes and kinetics, so you know why a head behaves the way it does. Plus colour theory, patch testing, bleach and developers, toners and the practical colour work.
Cal Newsome on modern buzz cuts with mid fades, textured burst fades and afro tapers. Matt John on consultation, textured mod cuts, shaggy wolf cuts and the Sam Rascals haircut.
Filming, editing and social media strategy, taught the same way as the cutting. Members use these to turn cuts they were already doing into content that brings clients through the door.
Barbers posting from all over the world. Wins Wednesday, Focus Friday, and a chat that runs all day. Read it, comment on it, and get to know who is in there before you commit.
The classroom is not one barber's opinion filmed once. It is a library built by working barbers with different strengths, and it grows every month.
Full length haircut walkthroughs, start to finish. Fades, tapers, texture and the detail work, with the reasoning said out loud rather than left for you to guess at.
Sharp line ups, clean fades and balanced haircuts, broken down step by step. Clipper work, blending, freehand cutting and finishing, so the same standard comes out of your chair every time.
A masterclass series on modern barbering. Scissor work, shape, layers, texture, detailing and styling, aimed at the natural lived in cuts and longer hair most barbers dodge.
Most barbers get told the cut looks great by the person sat in the chair and never hear another word about it. You can do that for ten years and still be second guessing yourself.
“Medium taper with flow on my client today with super thick hair. What could I have done different? Picky feedback would also be appreciated. Thanks guys.”
That is what happens in there daily. For your seven days you can read every one of those threads and see exactly how we work.
“Best online academy by far. The community on this academy is unreal. Everyone is really active on here. Best place if you want to level up and network with a load of talented barbers.”
Jai Mistry · Paying member 20 months“Amazing course. Top quality videos that you cannot find anywhere else. If you want to improve yourself in barbering, this is the one. 10/10.”
Bedirhan Aydin · Paying member 13 months“Genuinely learnt so much since joining, which has been recognised with clients and taken my ability to the next level. With constant new lessons, advice and interactions, the learning never stops.”
George Deo · Paying member 7 months“Ever since I joined Rascals Education my knowledge and skills have skyrocketed. The support from the other barbers who help develop you and give you advice is something I cannot thank enough.”
Marley Jarvis · Paying member 2 months“I have taken other barbering courses, and this is one of the only ones that actually breaks down everything you need to understand shear work instead of just throwing a bunch of random tutorials at you.”
Jesse Blades · Paying member 5 monthsNo. There are apprentices in there on their first year and barbers with fifteen years behind the chair, and the ones with fifteen years are still asking questions. Sam and Cal answer both. If you can hold a set of clippers you will get something out of the week.
If you stay, it carries on at the normal monthly price. If it is not for you, cancel inside the app before your seven days are up and you are not charged. Your week runs from the moment you join, so the date is different for everyone.
So the week rolls straight into a membership if you want to stay and you are not messing about re-entering details. Nothing is taken during the seven days and the cancel button is in plain sight.
No. The signup window is Thursday 6pm to Sunday 6pm UK time. After that the link stops working and the next free week is not scheduled.
Fine. It is recorded and the replay goes out afterwards. Turning up live is better because you can put a question to Sam and Cal, but you are not missing your week if you cannot.
Members are posting from all over the world, right across Europe, North America and beyond. The lessons work the same wherever you cut. The live call is 7pm UK, so check the time where you are, and the replay covers you either way.
You do not have to wait for Thursday. The Academy is open, and you can be inside it in the next two minutes.
