Since Jan. 1, 2026 (S.B. 330, 2025), Utah issues a 130-hour Barbering Permit for cutting and shaving instead of the old barber license (1,000 school or 1,250 apprenticeship hours), which is now a legacy license only for people enrolled by that date; the Master Barbering license (chemical services too) takes 1,000 school or apprenticeship hours (Utah Code 58-11a-302.19 and -306). No age or education minimum is stated; the exam format comes from DOPL's exam page.
