Notes on employment for Barbers, cosmetologists, and other personal appearance workers

  • Job opportunities generally should be good, but competition is expected for jobs and clients at higher paying salons; opportunities will be best for those licensed to provide a broad range of services.
  • Barbers, cosmetologists, and most other personal appearance workers must be licensed.
  • Almost half of all barbers, cosmetologists, and other personal appearance workers are self-employed; many also work flexible schedules.
