This may be true, but it is not always the case. Licensure is the strongest form of government regulation. There are many people who deal with these kinds of challenges who do so without a license. Public health is often the justification held up for occupational licensure but the dangers haven't proven themselves. In fact the licensure schemes have done more to keep people OUT of the profession, or to beholden themselves to private credentialing organizations, with costly fees, supervisory practice, and examinations.
Certification is a much better avenue. Let the consumer choose. The Institute for Justice has had enormous success in lawsuits on this very issue, and it's only a matter of time before barber licensing falls too.
