TESTIMONIALS
What Our Members Are Saying
People love their SHU experience. See why it means so much to them.
“Trying to learn how to cut my own hair only caused me to become more frustrated and less confident. I knew that I needed more than just a few YouTube tutorials. That's when I decided to join Self Haircut University...
...What really makes this school stand out is the coaching calls with Alex Kouras himself. Alex is extremely patient and understands exactly what difficulties you are having with your self haircuts."
- Peter Papadopoulos, USA
“I never did it like this before, never. This is what I wanted... My regular haircuts look nothing like this... Huge difference. Humongous difference."
"I mean this is the best I've ever cut it... It's like comparing day to night... To be able to have step by step help in real time makes a huge difference. It's tailor made to your specific haircut."
"I knew from the get-go your hair grows back immediately...So let it grow back in, continue to practice and practice. Every weekend your hair's going to grow back in to practice again. Your technique is going to get better."
- Miguel Suarez, USA

What skill level is this course for?14 Day Self Haircut Course was designed to take somebody from knowing nothing about cutting their own hair --> to being able to produce well-blended professional-looking haircuts from the comfort of their own home (no matter what level of experience they currently are). We've helped people who have literally never touched a clipper before, all the way to people who have been in the niche for years but want to level up their game even more. The most common word used to describe 14 Day Self Haircut Course is "FUN". We have helped self-haircutters at both ends of the skill spectrum.
-
I’m a beginner, will this work for me?100%. Alex does a great job organizing the lectures so that you skip all the unnecessary information and get started from the very beginning to the point where you know everything Alex has ever learned in his 15+ years of self-haircutting. If you have found value from Alex's free self-haircut content on YouTube, TikTok, and/or Instagram, you will find the value within the 14 Day Self Haircut Course to be unparalleled.

I’m not a beginner, what will I gain by joining SHU?Even though Alex has 15+ years of self-haircut experience, he's constantly seeking to learn more and learn new techniques every week that will make his haircuts better and finish them faster. Education never ends when you want to continually grow as an individual. This goes for everything in life, not just cutting your own hair. If you have 6 months of experience or 5 years of experience, you're guaranteed to be a part of a program that will not stop growing and seeking to learn new ways of cutting hair faster and with higher quality results. If you want to brush up on your knowledge, the programs are a great way to solidify what you already know and pick up on new tips that you might not have known before joining. There's been advanced students that have joined SHU "Thinking they were advanced" and then were blown away after hearing what Alex has to teach from his perspective. Ask yourself, are you actually an advanced student to self-haircutting? What information are you trying to get beyond what you currently already know from SHU? Chances are Alex could help you expand on these questions and help you figure out how to get your self-haircuts to the next level.

How much money am I able to save each year cutting my own hair?Between $1,000 and $3,000+ each and every year for the rest of your life. This dollar amount varies highly based on how much money your hourly time is valued, how much the haircuts cost you, and how frequently you get a haircut. Watch this video if: https://youtu.be/pYh99U66ueI 1. You make $15 p/h, get a haircut every 2 weeks, haircut costs $25 2. You make $50 p/h, get a haircut every 2 weeks, haircut costs $25 3.

Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?YouTube is a fantastic resource with more free tutorials (especially our own) than any individual is capable of watching on improving your self-haircut skills. We even produce 20+ minutes worth of free tutorials for self-haircutters every week for YouTube! But a side effect of only learning on YouTube is that you'll waste dozens of hours learning the same thing, searching for tutorials only to find partial answers and not having precise exercises designed to help you truly learn the skills you're after. If you want to develop your skills FAST, then 14 Day Self Haircut Course is for you. Plus, what is your time worth? This program will save you years of frustrated time searching for answers and rapidly increase your self-haircutting skills. For some - that's $99 or $199 well spent! If your time isn't worth that yet... Stick to YouTube until it is!

Barber School vs Self Haircut UniversityBarber School Price: $10,000 - $20,000 Time: 9-24 Months Reason: To cut other people hair as a profession Self Haircut University Price: $99 for Elite or $199 for VIP Time: 1-3 Months Reason: To save my money and give myself unlimited free haircuts for the rest of my life. NOTE: Self Haircut University is not a barber school. We teach you how to cut your own hair for a fraction of the price for your own personal skills and knowledge. If you are here, it's because you want to cut your own hair to save time and money, not become a licensed barber as a paid professional.
