Fade It Forward^® is a grassroots scholarship and mentoring program designed to assist at-risk youth in under-resourced communities become barbers and potential entrepreneurs. Selected applicants are awarded full or partial barber school scholarships. They are then partnered with barber mentors who are successful in the industry and their communities.

At Wahl Professional we believe our customers are our best resource for growing this program nationwide. The program currently serves four cities: Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, and San Diego. With your help, we’ll put more barbers behind more chairs than we thought possible.

We are looking for, and accepting applications for, the 20 best barber schools in the country to join the current cities and expand the program. If you know of a great barber school in your community that fits the mission of “Fade it Forward^®” please send us their contact info or invite them to apply here.
