Hairdresser/barber career?

If a man was to cut hair, would he be a barber or a hairdresser? What is the best way of learning this? How much do they earn? Is it possible to make a really good living?Hairdresser/barber career?
Barbers cut men's hair and hairdressersor stylist cut usually both men and women. Go to a county vocational school or private cosmetology school (USA). Yes you can make good money it just takes time and talent. Hairdressers probably make more for 2 reasons. They charge more for a woman's cut and also by doing men, women and even children (last depends on your salon) they have a greater client base. If you do color and highlights you can make serious bucks after awhile. You must like dealing with people and have artistic ability and an eye for color. The hours can be a bit long and you need to stand most of the day but i enjoyed it while I did it. If I hadn't accidentally fell into a different career i would be making nice money as a stylist. Talk to some salon owners in your area and ask them for advice. I di and it helped. Remember many private school are expensive and don't give you anymore than the public one s for a fraction of the cost. I started in a private school that went out of business and changed to a votech and got the same if not better training. Good Luck!!!
