1. Ambroise Paré (1510-1590) was a famous barber in history who worked back when barbers cut hair and performed surgeries.

The first barbering services were performed by Egyptians in 5000 BC with instruments they had made from oyster shells or sharpened flint. In ancient Egyptian culture, barbers were highly respected individuals. Priests and men of medicine are the earliest recorded examples of barbers.

Both cosmetology and barbering are excellent careers, so you can't go wrong with either. It simply comes down to personal preferences. To figure this out, visualize what you want your daily work life to look like.
