Quincy is located in a large suburban area just south of Boston, giving students direct access to the greater Boston metropolitan job market. The area's dense population and thriving barbershop culture provide ample employment opportunities for newly licensed barbers. As a small, specialized institution with fewer than 100 students, Massachusetts School of Barbering offers an intimate learning environment focused entirely on the craft of barbering, which may appeal to students who prefer hands-on training in a smaller setting.
