The DBA Difference

At DBA cutting hair is only part of our educational focus. It is our desire for students to graduate with a strong skill set and be well rounded in business, public speaking, community engagement, and brand marketing.

We are the only barber school in North Dakota who incorporates hands on training in these areas. We work diligently with community partners to engage our students in multiple opportunities for enhancing their education.
