Welcome

Level 3 is the final step: the Maestro Barber examination of the Scapicchio Academy. Taken in your own shop, this intensive one-day exam tests your full command of the craft through a written theory test and a live practical assessment. Only those who demonstrate true excellence in technique, protocol and consistency earn the title of Maestro Barbieri

What You Will Learn

It is not about learning new tricks; it is about performing under pressure. You will shave with the tutors’ eyes fixed on your hands, every movement measured against the Scapicchio standard. During the exam you must deliver a full traditional service on live models: clean, safe and consistent. Your protocol and hygiene must be flawless, without the need for reminders. At the same time you are judged on your calm and focus, choosing the right razor, the right edge and the right approach, even under exam stress. Passing this test shows that you do not simply practise the craft: you truly are a Maestro Barber of the Scapicchio Academy.

For Who Is It & What Are the Benefits?

Level 3 is for barbers who have completed Level 1 in Bovino and Level 2 in Ghent, and who want to be recognised worldwide as part of the inner circle of the Scapicchio Academy. It is aimed at professionals who wish to carry the Maestro Barber title, host the official Introduction Course in their own shop, and participate in Scapicchio events across the world.

You will find all specific benefits and contract of becoming a Master Barber – Scapicchio Academy in the attached PDF.
