What are the Requirements to Become a Barber? Every state mandates that barbers earn a license from an accredited cosmetology or barber school, but the requirements to become a barber vary from state to state. Many states also require a GED as minimum education. Barber School Many cosmetology schools offer barbering programs, which last about nine months. Barbering schools focus on providing hair and skin services for men. After completing the program, barbers take a written state licensing exam, and they also may have to demonstrate their skills. Many barber schools offer placement programs to help graduates enter the field. Some schools also offer financial aid to full-time students. Skills You'll Learn at Barber School
Barbers work with people. A pleasant personality, good communication skills--both talking and listening--and a neat appearance are crucial to developing clientele and earnings tips. A good memory also helps, as customers feel more welcome--and generous with their tips--when you remember how you to style their hair without asking. Employment as a Barber Nearly half of the barbers in the work force are self employed and tend to work long hours. Employment of hairdressers is expected to increase nearly 12 percent, higher than the national average for most professions.
