Kem was very knowledgeable, incredibly positive, and extremely supportive from day one. Kem took time to explain and made the learning material easy to learn. Everyday Kem made a point to share positive affirmations that could be applied to LIFE, not just school. Kem made you feel like you could be a "MASTER" barber the first day you attended NEXT LEVEL BARBER INSTITUTE . - C. Alston

Next level Barber Institute was more than just a turning point in my life. Of course the barber class was a plus, but learning from Kem was more than just learning a craft, it was learning from someone who had already been thru the struggles and Kem literally gave you the learning book to become a successful barber in and out of the barbershop! While giving me the hope and the "want to" to become a better person and barber. Kem was and is still one of my biggest motivators in life, and will always be part of my support system in life!

Next Level Barber Institute changed my life! When I came to Bay City, I was lost, struggling to find work, and falling deeper into depression and bad habits. My girlfriend believed in me and signed me up for school because she knew I loved cutting hair. That decision was the turning point.​
At Next Level, I gained the skills, confidence, and support I needed to become a great barber. Meeting Andre Brown and Kem brought me into a community that feels like family. Six years later, I’m proud to be part of this winning team, and I’m forever grateful for the opportunities this institute has given me. - Corey G.
