Do I have to pick between cosmetology and barbering?
Not sure if this is a dumb question. I'm graduating high school next year and I decided I want to pursue doing hair. There's only one cosmetology school near me and they offer both cosmetology and barbering. I had always assumed that when you're learning about hair you learn all the hair things, but I guess not. Is this a situation where I have to choose one path or the other? If I choose to learn about cosmetology, is it going to be too difficult of a task to also learn barbering and work with male clients? I'm just mildly surprised to learn these are two separate careers, and I know if I have to pick, I'm going to pick cosmetology. I think I'm just asking, if I choose to do schooling for cosmetology can I still pursue barbering and a license for it as well, or am I stuck with only cosmetology? Sorry if this is a weird/bad question. Any answers help.
