Bob Certification

Here’s how certification works.

Every stylist starts with the Bob certification. You can do it online on your own schedule, or in person at a two-day event with Ray.

Getting certified online

  1. 01

    Join the membership

    Membership is $47 a month. It opens up all of our video tutorials and the full BOB CO Method, plus the certification module, which you can work through any time as a member.

  2. 02

    Submit when you’re ready

    When you feel ready, pay the $197 certification fee. That lets you submit two video haircuts and unlocks the quiz.

  3. 03

    Ray reviews your work

    If you pass the quiz, Ray watches your haircuts himself and gives you personal feedback.

  4. 04

    Get certified and get found

    Once you pass, you’re Bob Certified and listed on our public directory, where clients look for stylists near them.

Being a member gives you the training. Certification is earned by passing the review.

What it opens up

  • A listing on our public directory so clients can find you
  • Access to our next certifications, like Pixie and Shag
  • The Bob Certified badge on your profile
