Where Our Graduates Work
Our graduates work in real barbershops all across Northern California. We group them by campus: Concord, San Jose, and Modesto.
Based on UBC's NACCAS Annual Report placement filings, 2014–2024. Modesto placements only began being tracked in 2023. Below is a curated subset — the shops that have hired UBC grads in two or more different years. Know a grad who should be on this list? Let us know.
