It was found from the data that 91.7% of the barbers around Presco campus are aware of instrument sterilization, 8.3% are not. 83.3% possess accurate knowledge of instrument sterilization amongst customers, 16.3% are not aware. 75% of the barbers practice instrument sterilization. Commonly used method of sterilization by the barbers includes chemical method and burning flame. Conclusion, majority of barbers around Presco campus of Ebonyi State University possess accurate knowledge of instrument sterilization but the method is not adequate since some micro-organism cannot be killed by flame or chemicals.  It was recommended that barbers around Presco campus should be educated on the appropriate methods of instrument sterilization.
