Shaving services in Illinois typically fall under the scope of practice for a barber, not a cosmetologist. Barbers are specifically trained in shaving techniques, beard trimming, and other facial hair services.
While cosmetologists are licensed to work with hair, skin, and nails, their training typically focuses on areas like hair styling, coloring, chemical treatments, makeup application, and skincare. Shaving, especially with a straight razor, requires a specialized skill set to ensure safety and prevent injury.
