Barber

A barber is a professional who cuts and styles hair and often grooms facial hair. The trade has traditionally focused on men’s hair and shaving.

Haircut: A hairstyle created by cutting some or all of the hair to a chosen length and shape. Hair cutting is the defining service of a barber.
Hair: A protein filament that grows from follicles in the skin of mammals. Hair’s structure and growth determine how it can be cut and styled.
Barber-surgeon: A historical practitioner who combined grooming and shaving with minor surgical procedures. The barber’s trade once included medical procedures such as bloodletting.
Barbershop quartet: A vocal ensemble that sings music in close four-part harmony, associated with the barbershop style. The musical style takes its name from the social singing associated with barbershops.
Shaving: The removal of hair close to the skin using a blade or another cutting tool. Barbers traditionally provide close shaves and facial-hair grooming.
Hair texture: The characteristics of hair strands, including their thickness, curl pattern, and surface feel. Texture affects how a barber chooses cutting and styling techniques.
Barber pole: A striped pole used as a sign for barbershops, historically associated with barber-surgeons. Its colors recall the surgical work once performed by some barbers.
Barbershop talk: Informal conversation associated with the relaxed social setting of a barbershop. Barbershops can function as places for news, debate, and community exchange.
Beard: Hair that grows on the chin, cheeks, and jaw of an adult human. Shaping and maintaining beards is a common barbering service.
Hair growth: The recurring process by which follicles produce hair fibers. Growth patterns influence how a cut falls and how quickly it changes.
