Being a Cosmetologist makes you more qualified than a barber. We have 3 licenses: hair skin and nails. We're more likely to make more money. The only real difference between having a barber's license and a hair licenses is that you can use razors without a guard, and that you can shave someone's face. Maybe a couple other small differences. And you're limited to just mainly one gender.
I'm a Cosmetologist and have considered adding a Barber license but, really, classes are going on all the time for different techniques. Barbers are great but not licensed to do certain other things with hair and a little of that Cosmetologist. But if you want to be a barber, it's up to you how much you make. It's one of those fields that is up to you. You can barely get by or fill the salon...
I'm a cosmetologist and I have learned nothing to make me believe that I am less qualified than a barber.
