| Aspect | Professional Barber | Cosmetologist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | State license, barbering license | State license, cosmetology license |
| Work Environment | Barber shops, salons, men's grooming | Beauty salons, spas, salons offering hair, skin, and nail services |
| Industry Usage | Primarily men's haircuts, beard trimming, grooming | Hair styling, coloring, skincare, nail services |
While both Professional Barbers and Cosmetologists hold state licenses and work in beauty-related environments, barbers focus mainly on men's grooming, haircuts, and beard trimming. Cosmetologists offer a broader range of beauty services, including hair coloring, skincare, and nails. The choice depends on the specific services you seek or the career path you prefer within the beauty industry.

Sourced by ZipRecruiter
Great Clips, Inc. was established in Minneapolis, Minnesota by founders David Rubenzer and Steve Lemmon in 1982, a time when most people received haircuts in one of three ways: in full-service hair salons, from barbershops or at home. As a stylist and businessman, David could see that the industry was changing. Customers were looking for a hair salon service that could fit their busy lifestyles and desire for value. To be part of that change – rather than find themselves competing with it – David and Steve developed the then-radical concept of a walk-in haircare salon with weekend and evening hours, offering customers a select list of services, and providing benefits for stylists. After the founders opened several successful hair salons, Ray Barton joined David and Steve as an owner in March 1983. With Ray's help and expertise in franchising, the trio set about growing the Great Clips hair salon brand. That success continues through today.
