Who We Are
Five Star Academy provides barbering and cosmetology education, apprenticeship support, and career-focused training in Rialto, California. We help students build practical skills, gain industry experience, and work toward professional licensure through structured instruction and guided support.
MORE THAN JUST A SCHOOL
Five Star Academy is built around a different approach to barbering and cosmetology education. Instead of focusing only on classroom instruction, we emphasize hands-on skill development, industry preparation, professional guidance, and pathways that help students move toward licensure and a lasting career. Students come to us at different stages. Some are developing foundational skills, while others are ready to pursue a registered apprenticeship and begin training in a working barbershop or salon. Our goal is to help each student identify the right next step and build the confidence, knowledge, and professional habits needed to move forward.

We help students prepare for the full professional experience, from developing their craft to understanding clients, careers, and the business behind the industry.
