I searched for "hairdresser" and was directed to barber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairdresser
Kind of interesting, that it directs to barber and then discusses male barbers and men's haircutting culture. Surely I can't be the only person who finds this odd... Really needs some gender neutrality... Cosmetology is the closest thing to any article that discusses "hairdressers" "hair stylists" and it's basically a paragraph. Just surprises me..no "hairstylists" content on Wikipedia. If I am missing something, or passing over it, please correct me! Another example on the struggles we have here... (for example, the hair stylist Frederic Fekkai links to barber....and he's an icon of women's hair styling and is considered a "hairdresser" or stylist) -Sarah -- GLAMWIKI Partnership Ambassador for Wikimedia <http://www.glamwiki.org> Wikipedian-in-Residence, Archives of American Art<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SarahStierch> and Sarah Stierch Consulting *Historical, cultural & artistic research & advising.* ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.sarahstierch.com/
