NB: While barbers mostly work with men's hair, and stylists mostly work with women's, the jobs themselves are not gendered-- Lots of female barbers and male stylists. Some of the most famous stylists, like Vidal Sassoon for example, are male. Famous barbers are less of a thing, but on the total other end of the spectrum, the barber college in my area has a pretty even gender balance.
