Before your first day at RUBC, we encourage you to schedule a tour—available upon request.

On your first day, you'll receive shirts and patches, which are part of the required uniform. You can either wear the shirt or iron the patch onto your smock—as long as the RUBC logo is visible, you're good to go!

You'll also be assigned a locker for your personal items and receive your books. Your barber kit will be provided once you’ve completed your freshman theory hours along with health and safety training. Freshman theory starts slow but picks up quickly, so come ready to learn!

Note: Try and find the RUBC logo on this barber's smock!

We look forward to welcoming you to RUBC!
