How to Become a Barber

A barber is a person whose occupation is mainly to cut, dress, groom, style and shave men's and boys' hair and/or beard.

A barber's place of work is known as a "barbershop" or a "barber's".

In previous times, barbers (known as barber surgeons) also performed surgery and dentistry.

With the development of safety razors and the decreasing prevalence of beards, in Anglophonic cultures, most barbers now specialize in cutting men's scalp hair as opposed to facial hair.
