What may matter most is how these barriers are negotiated. Do people really need to be protected from barbers with limited training or could that be handled with disclosures? And how are violations discovered and resolved. In my case I started cleaning houses for money and had completed hundreds of cleanings by the time the city found out and let me know that license fees were due for that activity. The city insisted on full back payment of all licensing along with late fees and there was no option for negotiation, just the requirement that someone who was cleaning houses for money should suddenly cough up a couple of thousand dollars. Not only was a large payment required but records needed to be sorted out which ended up generating two long and tense visits to offices downtown. Of course some regulations are needed on businesses, but these regulations should be put in place for robust reasons, regularly reviewed, and enforced with care and compassion and options for forgiving unpaid fees in return for present and future compliance.
