We are welcoming guest artist, Aldo Serna @aldosernabarber

Aldo Serna is a Texas-based barber and educator known for his refined approach, precision, and elevated standard of craftsmanship. Since 2022, he has been an integral part of the Barber Josh OP Education Team, traveling and teaching the DFS Formula, a structured system centered on design, flow, and symmetry that has impacted barbers worldwide. Through his educational work, Aldo has collaborated with several industry-leading brands. He is now a Global Educator for Matsui, representing the brand internationally while collaborating closely with the DFS Formula team—merging premium tools with modern barber education.

The North Dakota Barbers Association consists of all barbers who hold a current license in the state. We want to inform all who are considering barbering for a career, or those barbers that are thinking of relocating to North Dakota.

The association exists to inform others about our organization, our Board of Barber Examiners, how to become a student, and a registered North Dakota barber.

The association concentrates on the business of the profession. Each barber has a vote when electing officers or nominating potential board members and has influence in major decisions as they come before the association.

If interested in becoming a barber student inquire with Moler Barber College at 701-232-6773, Skill Cutz Barber College at 701-532-1892, or Dakota Barber Academy at 701-404-7387.
