Meet Travis Sanders and Marcel Mayberry, cousins, and business partners who share a passion for nurturing legacy through entrepreneurship. As co-owners of Lansing Barber College, they have dedicated themselves to promoting excellence in barbering education.


Both Mayberry and Sanders attended Lansing Barber Styling College as students. Sanders graduated from the college in 1988, while Mayberry graduated five years later in 1993. Afterward, they opened T-Styles I and T-Styles II Barbershops in the Lansing and East Lansing areas.


Travis entertained the idea of starting a school to teach the craft of barbering. Soon afterward, his cousin presented the option of buying the Lansing Barber College after learning it would be closing in 2020. Marcel and Travis acquired Lansing Barber College to preserve its legacy and continue providing opportunities for students to gain extensive experience in the barbering industry. They are committed to helping students create their destinies, just as they did three decades ago.

The duo is passionate about sharing their experiences and helping students gain job skills in this gratifying and rewarding field. They continue the legacy of providing great service and opportunities for extensive experience in the barbering industry. They recently purchased a new building at 4414 S Pennsylvania, offering 8,000 square feet of space across two floors. The additional space (soon to open) will allow for newer equipment, upgrades, and rental opportunities. Marcel and Travis are dedicated to helping students become skilled professional barbers and better human beings. Through their journey, they have learned that with determination and a positive mindset, anything is possible. Look no further than Barber Styling College of Lansing to learn from the best in the industry.
