While barbering can be a rewarding career, it can also be physically and mentally demanding. Long hours of standing, high levels of concentration, and dealing with difficult customers can lead to stress and burnout. Some barbers may quit due to these challenges, or because they want to pursue different career paths.

Once you establish yourself and build a solid clientele, you may be able to earn six figures as a barber. Your success, though, will likely depend on how in demand you are, how willing you are to travel or work long hours, the clientele you cater to, and if you own your own shop.

The members of the Barbers' Board work with the department in meeting its mission to “License Efficiently. Regulate Fairly.” There are approximately 20,500 licensed Barbers and 3,900 licensed Barbershops pursuant to Chapter 476, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 61G3, Florida Administrative Code.
