Which code does this activity belong in?
Cosmetology and barber schools provide specialized job training in hair, makeup, and skin care services, offering certification in these specific cosmetic and personal grooming trades. This code distinguishes establishments focused on barbering and cosmetology from other technical and trade schools, which classify job training in unrelated fields such as bartending, real estate, truck driving, or graphic arts. Flight training schools and apprenticeship training programs are classified separately, even when offered alongside cosmetology instruction.
