The home of Level 2.
Led by Master Barber Stijn De Sutter, Level 2 at ROMAIN builds on the foundations of Level 1: advanced shaving, freehand honing, deeper theory and precise professional protocols.
Supporting the next generation.
We guide barbers along their Academy journey and support Scapicchio Ambassadors through mentoring, shared practice and continued exchange within the international family.
Two official campuses: Bovino & Ghent. Drag to explore the globe, choose a country or select a member. Locations are approximate.
