- Initiation — introductory barbering program.
- Intensive — intensive program to go further.
- Masterclass — advanced masterclass for refinement.
Verification call

Payment
After the call is approved, you can pay for your enrollment in two ways:
- Deposit of CHF 490 — holds your seat, the balance is paid on site.
