The First Cut Barber College

The First Cut Barber College Welcome to the newest Barber College Vocational School in Rockford IL My objective is for students to obtain their license and enjoy a fulfilling career.

To increase our graduation rate, we strive for smaller class sizes which allow for one-on-one instruction. Barbering remains relevant, whether for a primary or secondary job. When watching TV or browsing social media, a person's hair is often the focal point, and barbers and cosmetologists are often responsible for the cut, color, braid, or lock. For individuals who attended school but did not obtain a license, we can collaborate to help them succeed.

First Cut Cares


Here at First Cut Barber College, we understand how important it is to give back to your community. That is why we volunteer regularly to different charities, churches, and schools to offer free haircuts to those in need throughout the year. Back to school time is a very busy time of year for us, as well as major holidays such as Christmas. We offer at our services a different events in 2 hour max time frames. Each event coordinator decides when we complete that 2 hour time frame during their events. We attempt to have enough barbers present to cover large amounts of different haircuts and that two hour time frame. Unfortunately, we are not always able to get to everyone in the time frames that we have for volunteer services. If you or your child (dren) are one of the people who are unable to be serviced during our 2-hour window we do offer walk-ins Tuesday through Friday. You can also schedule an appointment with us by contacting the school via email or telephone during business hours of 9:00 to 5:00 Tuesday through Saturday. If you have three or more people who wish to be cut at the same time you will have to schedule your services prior. We are currently partnering with RPS 205 to offer free haircuts to all students in the district. We are looking to expand to other districts and will update the website accordingly if and when that takes place. We are dedicated to helping enrich our community one head at a time!
