Stay in compliance with barbering industry standards with help from the Nova Scotia Registered Barbers’ Association (NSRBA). Established in 1942, we are a barbering association in Nova Scotia that regulates the practices of professional barbers, barber apprentices, barber students, barber shops, and barber schools.

Our primary focus is to protect public health, safety, and welfare. We are a governing body that:

• Qualifies and Licenses Barbering Professionals and Businesses
• Establishes and Enforces Administrative Rules and Laws
• Provides News and Information So the Public May Make Informed Decisions
• Serves to Foster Growth and Support of the Barbering Industry in Nova Scotia
• Delivers Updates About Industry-Related Events
