Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow’s Barbering At IMPACT Barber Academy-South Texas(formerly South Texas Barber College),located in Corpus Christi, we honor the rich legacy of classic barbering while preparing the next generation of barbers for a modern, ever-evolving industry. Rooted in time-honored techniques—like precision cuts, straight razor shaves, and traditional grooming—we combine the art of the old-school barbershop with forward-thinking education in business, branding, and personal growth. Our small class sizes, certified instructors, and authentic barbershop environment provide students with the focused, hands-on training needed to master their craft. Beyond the chair, we equip our students with the entrepreneurial and leadership skills required to thrive in today’s competitive marketplace. Whether you’re learning to shape a perfect fade or shape a thriving business, IMPACT is committed to training Barbers who are not only skilled—but are making an IMPACT in their communities through service, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
