Course catalogue — built for Greater Oslo
Our catalogue focuses on services delivered daily in Oslo barbershops. Every module balances demonstration with timed drills, so technique becomes repeatable on a busy floor. You will practise guard progression for fades, sectioning for structure, beard mapping, and a Norwegian climate-ready shaving routine. Cohorts run on weekday evenings and weekends to fit Oslo work schedules, and each path ends with a practical assessment at Torggata 13.

Inside the syllabus
Training opens with consultation frameworks and safety checks, then moves into scissor control and clipper fundamentals. Fade modules track a clear sequence: debulk, create guideline, build the blend, refine weight, and detail. Beard sessions cover mapping and razor pressure control with hot towel prep. Time control is a constant: each rotation includes a target duration suitable for Oslo’s footfall, from 25-minute tapers to 45-minute full services.
- Live-model nights with consent steps and hygiene briefings.
- Tool maintenance routine: blade alignment, lubrication, sanitation cycles.
- Portfolio building: 10+ curated looks photographed under consistent lighting.
