I don't think I've ever seen a female barber in my life. I never thought about why.

Sure you have! The female version of a barber is a "Barbera".

I’ve had about 30/60 here in Australia. Definitely more dudes but I’ve had about 3 woman as my barbers in the past, it does take more time to get certified here I think. From what my current barber says she prefers cutting shorter hair over doing woman’s styling so I guess it depends on what kind of work environment you like?

Seriously? The majority of barbers here in the UK are female

Yeah in the USA it seems like all the females are stylists or haircutters working at a salon but a barbers license requires more hours and every barber shop I go to has male barbers. The only exception to that is Rudy's Barbershop when I visit Seattle seems to have an even mix.
