Taught by Austen Kallas, Owner, Top Tier Hair Studio
Build Your Book.Build Your Brand.Build Six Figures.
The complete system to build a six-figure career behind one chair: craft, clientele, brand, and business, taught by a celebrity barber who's done it.
Three tiers from $124.99 $249.99 50% off until 30 September. One flat fee, no subscriptions.
Real Clients. Real Relationships.
Trusted by NBA, NFL & MLB athletes, Grammy-nominated artists, actors, and loyal clients every week.
Being good with clippers isn't the same as being good with money.
Most barbers hit a ceiling, not because their cuts aren't good enough, but because nobody ever taught them the business behind the chair. The Academy closes that gap.
Master the craft
Fades, techniques, and the details that separate a good cut from a six-figure cut.
Build a real book
Systems for turning first-time clients into a full, loyal client base.
Build your brand
The personal brand that gets you noticed, tagged, and requested by name.
Build the business
Pricing, positioning, and the path from chair to shop owner.
The work
Real clients, real chairs, from NBA players to the regulars in the chair every week.

The Six-Figure Calculator
Most barbers know their day rate. Almost none know what they actually keep. Move the sliders and see the real number, after the chair rent, the no-shows, the supplies, and the tax.
