Scapicchio Barbershop
Bovino, Italy / Level 1
Choose Bovino for the roots of the Scapicchio standard, where tradition isn’t a story, it’s daily practice. It’s the full heritage experience: trained by the family, in the place where the Academy was born.
Roots
In Bovino, you follow Level 1, the official starting point of the Scapicchio Academy. You’re immersed in the fundamentals of straight-razor shaving, edge care, and service structure, taught inside a living history that dates back to 1820. It’s where the craft begins, with the family standard as your foundation.
Primarily for beginners to intermediate barbers who want to start the official Scapicchio path the right way. It’s also suitable for motivated enthusiasts, but the focus is on building a professional foundation: fundamentals, discipline, and the Academy standard.
