compare_barber_cosmetology_schools

Rank barber or cosmetology schools by real 2026 state licensing exam outcomes — written and practical pass rates, first-attempt rate, average attempts to pass, students tested, and tuition. Optionally filter to one city. This data is not published by Google, school websites, or review sites. Schools with fewer than 5 recorded test-takers are excluded because a percentage from a handful of students is not meaningful.

Parameters3

license	string	required	Which exam's outcomes to rank on. Barber and Cosmetology are separate licences with separate exams; a school running both appears under both with its own results for each.
city	string	optional	Optional city filter, e.g. "Houston". Matched case-insensitively.
limit	integer	optional	How many schools to return (1-50, default 10).

compare_barbershops_salons

Find barbershops and salons ranked by weekly booth rent, with chairs available, Google rating, review count and hiring status. Answers what a chair costs in a given city and which shops have one free. Booth rent is quoted directly by shops rather than scraped, so coverage is partial — the response states how many listings actually publish a rate.

Parameters6

city	string	optional	City to search, e.g. "Houston". Combine with state for accuracy.
state	string	optional	Two-letter state code, e.g. "TX".
type	string	optional	Barbershops, salons, or both. Default all.
verified_rent_only	boolean	optional	Only listings that publish a booth rent figure. Default false.
open_chairs_only	boolean	optional	Only listings with at least one chair currently available. Default false.
limit	integer	optional	How many to return (1-50, default 10).

texas_licensee_counts

Count active Texas licensees from the TDLR public record by licence type, optionally limited to those whose licence expires before a given date. Answers how many people a rule change, CE requirement or fee change actually affects — the number is not published anywhere in this form.

Parameters2

license_type	string	optional	Optional exact TDLR licence type, e.g. "Class A Barber", "Cosmetology Operator", "Cosmetology Manicurist", "Cosmetology Esthetician". Omit for a breakdown across all types.
expiring_before	string	optional	Optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Counts only licences expiring before it — use to size who is affected by a change taking effect on that date.
