Journey Barber Schools' sole initiative is to effectively formulate a comprehensive teaching method for students to successfully pass the Ohio State Barber Exam. We will do so in a proper learning environment by offering our students a balanced wealth of knowledge in the five aspects of development, i.e, intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and aesthetics which will give the students a more competitive edge in the workforce. Journey Barber School is a student- centered school. Each student is required in making a commitment to their chosen course to guarantee an achievable learning outcome for their success. 

Our History 

Journey Barber School owned and operated by Journey Barber School LLC was established in November of 2017 by Slaughter. He has been a 

barber since 2010, and a master instructor since 2022. Journey Barber School was inspired with the decision of grooming wholesome barbers not just behind the barber chair but "Beyond the Barber Chair." The school was created to provide the knowledge to pass the Ohio State Cosmetology Barber Board Exam
