Meet Antonio Vaughns, a dedicated student in our Evening Barbering program at The Institute of Beauty and Wellness – Milwaukee Campus. Antonio’s journey into the world of barbering began at a young age, fueled by a passion for precision and creativity. After years in the legal industry, he decided to pursue his dream of becoming a barber, embarking on a new chapter filled with clippers, shears, and the art of grooming.
When I was 11 years old, my friend gave me a pair of clippers and asked me to cut his hair. As soon as I tried it, I fell in love! I kept practicing, and with his help, I got much better.
I did some research online and scheduled a visit to the school. I liked the atmosphere of the Institute, and I also appreciated the option of the evening schedule.
I have been working as a paralegal for about 7 years.
Cutting hair with shears! Before coming to school, I had no experience with shears, but with the help of my instructors, Chris and Amy, I was amazed to see what I can do.
My instructor, Chris Jones (@chrisjones600). He has been in the industry for a long time and is really talented.

My goal is to own my own barbershop.
To be sure to focus, relax, and cut.
Definitely the Men’s Composition Oil. I use it on all of my clients, and it smells amazing.
