“you need to have a high school degree, 800 hours of instruction at a state-approved barbering school, 1,600 hours apprenticing under an already licensed barber, pass a test and pay a fee.”
My wife once cut my hair in San Fransico, and I looked like Moe from the Three Stooges. She would need all the above schooling and hours of OJT before I would let her cut my hair again.
I now have an Italian barber who gets it right 75% of the time. And yes, I tip him generously for not making me look like Moe. Nyuck! Nyuck! Nyuck!
Haircuts, as long as I have a big, bushy clump of natural hair atop my head is a damn serious business.
I don't know your age, "Sarge," but at 75 with all my natural hair, it is at critical stage. I'm blessed with a brilliant student as a granddaughter. Now I have a rather simple style, but it it's reassuring to have somebody who cares.
I can’t tell — are you saying you’re in favor of these occupational licensure laws?
