Westchester Barber Academy

We go beyond barbering... Learning a trade skill is a great way to engage your mind and prepare for a career but we want to go beyond that. We don't just focus on teaching the technical skills involved in barbering & cosmetology but the soft skills that can take students from barber/beautyshop worker to barber/beautyshop owner.

Westchester Barber Academy is a grooming school in Mt Vernon, New York. It is listed at 168 E 3rd St, Mt Vernon, NY 10550, which places it among the local businesses of Mt Vernon that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as barber school, barber shop, beauty school, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Pet groomers bathe, brush, trim and style dogs and cats, and most also clip nails, clean ears and express anal glands. A full groom usually includes a bath, blow-dry, haircut and tidy-up; a bath-and-brush package skips the haircut and suits short-coated breeds. Salon groomers work from a shop with tubs and drying stations, mobile groomers bring a fitted van to your driveway, which is easier on anxious, elderly or reactive pets, and self-service dog washes rent a raised tub, shampoo and dryer by the session. Cat groomers handle lion cuts and matted coats with calmer, quieter setups, and many salons offer add-ons such as teeth brushing, de-shedding treatments, blueberry facials and paw balm.

The business lists hours on 5 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 9 am–8 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Sunday.
