Some people think barbers and cosmetologists are the same. The distinct difference between both of them are the way they cut their clients' hair. Unlike barbers who use scissors, electric clippers and comb technique to cut hair, cosmetologists skillfully use their fingers to keep the hair steady while using similar tools. For shaving, barbers use straight razors. But cosmetologists only use razors for trimming hair. To keep themselves abreast with new techniques in the skin care industry, cosmetologists usually take courses from time to time.
