A Master Barber License lets you work as a barber. This license is from the New York State Department of State (NYSDOS).
A barber does these jobs:
- Shaves or trims beards and cuts hair
- Gives face or scalp massages
- Singes, shampoos, arranges, dresses or dyes hair
- Puts hair tonic on hair
- Puts cosmetic preparations on the scalp, face or neck
You need to meet education and experience requirements and pass an exam to get this license. If you have a license from some other states, you do not need to take the test.
Most people need to be a barber apprentice for two years before taking the exam.
