Barbers

About the Barbers heading in Yellow™

Information on barbers can be found under this Yellow™ heading. A barber is an individual who specialises in cutting hair. Although hair cutting is a barber’s primary function, most barbers will also provide hair washing, beard and moustache trimming, hair styling, hair dyeing, etc. Barbers have been around for centuries, and used to be responsible for dentistry and minor surgeries as well in ancient times.  While we don’t expect that from our barber any more in the modern day, we still know that there’s no better place to go to get a hair cut.

Today, barbers prefer to call themselves hair stylists. These individuals do not differ much from barbers but may provide additional services to customers. These services could include dyeing a customer’s hair, styling their hair, washing it, etc. Additionally, the word “Barber Shop” has been replaced by “Salon.”  While a Salon is similar in nature to a barber shop, they might also offer additional services such as manicures, pedicures, make-up, etc.

Barbers are generally required to hold some type of licensing and / or certification, depending on the given area.  While this could be something as simple as the barber participating in a short course, it might also require several college ‘credits’.  As with any trade, the more experienced the barber is, whether through training or personal experience, the better they’ll be.
