> Doctors have an organization where their names are held (AMA), do > hairdressers have something like that? Sort of ... hairdressers in New South Wales required a license issued by the state government - they used to frame them and display them in the barber shop or salon. Barbers and hairdressers did an apprenticeship and there will be indentures and TAFE certificates etc. Employed hairdressers and barbers should be members of the relevant union - the Australian Workers Union; employers, from memory, belonged to the NSW Hairdressers Association, but what happened to them and their archives, I'm not sure. Records of the issue of hairdressers' licenses etc will be at State Archives: http://investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/ For licenses between 1954-1974: http://investigator.records.nsw.gov.au/Entity.aspx?Path=\Series\5548 Hope this helps.
