Testimonials

I love this place. The students take their work very seriously and give a great cut. I have gone to the Black Comb and a few other shops in Lancaster, but Champs is my favorite.

I came back to Lancaster about a year ago with the intention if shopping barber schools in the area. A dear friend of mine brought me directly to Champ's Barber School! The all around experience has been great. I have made some life long connections and despite some bumps in the road... "Covid" the instructor, owner, and administration has made my time at school amazing. The staff did a great job of putting together online learning while on lock down due to the pandemic, and while at school the actual time I have spent on the floor I managed to learn how to cut hair well. I look forward to going out into the barbering community and making my mark. I feel prepared for my boards and and more than prepared for my waiting station @ Baron Barbers in Manhiem PA. Thank you and hats off to all the staff and students @ Champ's

New to the area and just got a haircut and a shave and am very happy with both. The owner is very hands-on and makes sure you're taken care of. The students, in a way, go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied.
