Master Barber is Tennessee's full barber license (Barber Technician is a limited license); the board page lists only the 1,500-hour school route and age 16 (older statute text said 17). A licensed TN cosmetologist can count 300 cosmetology hours toward the 1,500, and a 2020 court order bars enforcing the statute's high school diploma/GED requirement.
