Work Licensed – Seems like an obvious one. In my visits to barber schools you might be amazed to learn how many students in barber programs have worked in shops for quite some time. Some students are even practicing owners of shops. Kudos to those who step up and get legit. If you do not have a license you are not a barber. You are a hobbyist. Licenses make barbers. Note: The videos in this best practice series will appear in order. The order is intended to reflect the order of service, the order of the client experience in the shop from start to finish.
