The Blade Standard

Four pillars,
non-negotiable.

We refuse the volume game. Every standard below is what separates a graduate of The Blade from a graduate elsewhere.

  • 01

    Smallest cohorts in Nepal

    Every program caps at six. Every cohort gets the master's full attention. No back-of-the-room learning.

  • 02

    Real chairs, real clients

    From week three you cut live. Supervised, paced, and reviewed. The Blade Academy was never about classrooms.

  • 03

    Lifetime room re-entry

    Graduates come back free, forever. Sharpen on new techniques, sit in on new cohorts, stay in the room.

  • 04

    Hire-out network

    Top graduates get first-look at chairs across The Blade locations and partner studios in Nepal and abroad.
