WEST PARK, Ohio — A new school that is being dubbed a “cut above the rest” will soon open in Northeast Ohio.
"We have a completely different kind of philosophy on what we're gonna do as far as training and how we're gonna prepare students," Burke said."It's something I've actually always wanted to do. I've been kinda working towards this over the last ten years," Burke said. It's ready for upwards of 58 students who will complete their state required 1800 hours of coursework and training.One room over—and still a work in progress, you'll find the demonstration room."Here will be a counter top. This area will be doing a lot of mannequin work, getting to really know our shears," Burke said."We have this set up for the students equipped with 20 stations," Burke said.
Cleveland native Ricardo"Rico" Rosa has worked at the West Park Barber Shop for the last five years—taking his craft to the next level under Burke's guidance.
