What exactly is happening at Midwest Barber College in Topeka? Students and clients arrived recently only to find the building in complete disrepair. The power had been cut off, the heat was off, and the facility stood neglected, with leaking roofs where clients once sat for haircuts.
Today, power has been restored, but questions remain. Students are now left wondering about the state of their education and the future of the college. Some have already paid tuition and are scrambling for clarity on what comes next.
Concerns about the condition of the building and its management have been growing for months. Students and staff have reported deteriorating infrastructure, with leaks dripping onto barber chairs and no heating system in place to combat the bitter cold. The facility, once a thriving hub for aspiring barbers, is now struggling to provide a safe and functional learning environment.
Adding to the mystery, the school’s owner has been absent since November, reportedly leaving the U.S. for Kenya, where she owns a farm. There are reports that she has been discussing opening a new school abroad while students in Topeka are left in limbo.
Students are now voicing their frustration over the lack of communication and clarity regarding the school’s operations. Many have expressed concerns about financial transactions, with claims that tuition payments have not been handled transparently.
With so much uncertainty surrounding the school, students and staff are seeking answers. What is the future of Midwest Barber College? Will students be able to continue their education, or will they need to find alternative options?
