Love Your Future With Nathan Layne Barbershop Academy

Why Choose Our Barber School In Twin Falls?

Not everyone is built for life behind a desk. Some of us want the freedom to make our own hours. To be our own boss. To work with our hands and create our own future. Unique, passionate people like us don’t fit into the traditional mold

Here at Nathan Layne Barbershop Academy (a sister school to Aveda Twin Falls), we’ve always believed that practice is the best way to learn. Barbers receive their own dedicated space— separate from other programs — to master their craft. We’ve designed our educational system to cater to those of us who’ve always felt like we’re different — destined to do something unique.

Why We Stand Out

Here at Nathan Layne Barbershop Academy, we’re driven by our Core Values. They aren’t just motivational posters on a wall — they’re who we are.

Professionalism

Means nailing our work with style and respect. We treat people right, and stick to our word. We show integrity by doing what we say we’ll do — no room for office soap operas or Eeyores.

We’re Always Learning

Whether it’s picking up new skills or honing techniques. We grow as a team, so we can win as a team.

Collaboration

Is teamwork on steroids. We share the workload and work through our differences to get over the finish line. No office politics, entitlement, or scarcity thinking.

Strong Work Ethic

Means we’re all in, eyes on the prize. We show up and deliver results without slacking off or being late to the game.

Lastly, we put PEOPLE FIRST

No matter how busy it gets or how high the stakes feel. When people feel seen and valued, they show up, speak up, and bring their best. People First teams are more resilient, innovative, and enjoyable to be a part of. We lead with heart because people aren’t just part of the process — they’re the point.
