Crown Cutz Academy was founded by Mr. Craig Charles. After spending more than  10 years in the barber industry, Mr. Charles saw a need to provide a quality learning experience in the town of Johnson City, TN. As the owner of Craig’s Crown Cutz Barbershop, Mr. Charles met many people who also wanted the opportunity to become licensed barbers. But with no schools in a 90 mile radius offering instruction in the fields of Cosmetology and Barbering most of these potential barbers and cosmetologists were left wanting and unable to achieve their dreams. Following Mr. Craig’s philosophy of “Learn, Earn, and Return”  the idea of Crown Cutz Academy was formed. First he learned the skills necessary to be a Professional barber and instructor. Then, he earned not only financial security from his chosen field, but also years of experience serving happy clients in the State of Tennessee. And now, the “return” part of giving back and helping future barbers reach their full potential as professionals and business owners.
