Our history
Vikings Barber Academy was born from a vision to redefine barbering education in Australia—where skill meets strength, and tradition meets transformation.
Drawing on over three decades of industry experience, Bill set out to create a space where aspiring barbers could learn the craft with purpose. Vikings Barber Academy opened its doors with a mission to empower students through hands-on training, mentorship, and a holistic approach to personal and professional growth.
From its earliest days, the Academy has stood for more than just grooming—it stands for grit, community, and the Viking spirit: bold, disciplined, and compassionate.
