I assure you having taken a 8hr class has approximately no impact on whether one sanitizes combs and the desire of management to provide the resources necessary to sanitize combs is the determining factor. This generalizes to basically every industry unless the labor pool is so small that the bad places to work can't find new employees faster than they wash out.

In point of fact, barbers and hair dressers are virtually always independent contractors sharing a shop space. It's basically never the case in North America that they're employees; this saves the shop owner all sorts of hassle, but puts the onus on the barber/hair dresser as the responsible business owner and thus the one required to be licenced. They provide their own clippers and barbasol. The hair dresser themself is the management that needs to provide necessary resources. Compare with the comment above about "should we licence dish washers too?" No, because dish washers are employees of a restaurant that deals with licencing and compliance with food safety laws.
