More than a decade after establishing his chain of Twin Cutz barbershops across Southwest Florida, Sean Casey began looking into the next step in his professional journey.

This week, Casey launched Barber Academy, a state-licensed school for barbers.

Students attend classes from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays for 22 or 33 weeks. They have a choice of two programs, with tuition costing $8,000 for the restricted program or $12,000 for the full program.

“I just find a passion of working with students,” Casey said. “I love the a-ha moment. I know what it did for me. And I know how barbering changed my life. Because I wasn’t the best student, but I knew I was an artist. I just look at hair as a canvass. It allowed me to create stability with myself.

“That fulfills me. I’m continuously working on my business. But I love this part where I can mentor.”
