Important for everyone to understand that currently there is only ONE accredited barber school in the entire state of iowa, located in Cedar Falls. Until recently there were two, the Des Moines program lost accreditation and is not currently taking students and won't be for the foreseeable future. If and when they reopen, tuition will be cash only, and will cost "around 25 thousand" according to, Terry Millis, the owner.
