				barbers who are not eligible for licensure under this rule shall comply with
				the requirements of

				license to also practice as a Class-MO cosmetology licensee to practice as a
				manicurist or a Class-E cosmetology licensee to practice as an esthetician.
				Barber applicants shall be subject to, and must comply with, all application,
				education, training, examination and licensure requirements applicable to the
				license sought.
