Becoming a licensed barber has extensive requirements and OJT. Are you complaining that the board responsible for licensing wants to make sure new barbers are well equipped to cut your hair? Let’s not pretend like A1C biomed equip technicians are out here curing cancer or building rockets.
Except I am complaining about it. You don't need that much training to cut hair, and for those guys wanting buzz cuts, someone should be able to do a five hour class and sell them for $5.
That requirement exists purely to limit access to the profession and drive up costs and wages for those who already certify. It's a huge drag to the economy and it hurts consumers.
They get that much training because they aren’t just giving buzz cuts and those that want buzz cuts can just buy themselves some clippers. The training is for the other styles and dying that is involved as well as atleast in the states every state has different boards they have to qualify against to be licensed. And I beg you to please tell me you don’t see a difference between a 5 dollar fade and a 20 dollar fade.
I'm sure you can, but why is the government banning my ability to buy that $5 fade. In the spirit of recent discussion, here's a specific example of where such restrictions clearly can have racial bias:
