Can a hairdresser work in a barber shop, or visa versa?
No. If a person has a Type I hairdressing license he/she can open up a shop within the barber shop through the Hairdressing Board . They will need to have a 3′ by 5′ divider and their own sink. To find out more you may call the Investigative Unit and ask for a Hairdressing investigator, the number is (617) 727-7406.
