New Regulations Anger Old-School Barbers

Seems like a new set of regulations is upsetting Joe Caccavella, a 3rd generation barber and founder of the Chicago Barber’s Association…

“If you want to insult the chef at one of the better family-owned Italian restaurants, mention the Olive Garden. Now you know how Joe Caccavella feels about a new law which combines some of the licensing elements of barbering and cosmetology.

Not only are they distinct practices, Caccavella says, it further blurs the line between his old-line family shop and the likes of a chain barbershop in the mall.”
