How barbers are licensed, and where to check

Most states license barbers. If your state does, its barber board or licensing agency usually offers an online lookup.

Walk-ins or bookings? Say which in your listing; it's the first thing many customers want to know.

Several barbers, one shop? List the shop. Individual barbers who rent a chair can mention the shop in their own description.

Keep hours current. Barbershop hours often change on holidays and weekends.
