In the US, it’s generally required to tip 15%-30% on top of your fee, so ensure to check your transgender friendly barber’s price list if you’d like to come prepared. In the UK and other countries, tipping isn’t customary, so it’s down to your discretion as to whether you’d like to tip, and how much!
A barber is a person whose occupation is mainly to cut, dress, groom, style and shave people’s hair or beards. A barber’s place of work is known as a barbershop or a barber’s. Barbershops are also places of social interaction and public discourse.
The barber’s responsibilities include cutting, trimming, styling, and colouring client’s hair according to their instructions, fitting, and grooming hairpieces.
It’s best to have a good idea of the haircut or style you want before you go in. Don’t be afraid to bring reference pictures of someone’s hair you like. If you want a fade, have a good idea of how short you want it to be and where you want it to stop on your head, as one barber’s trim can be another barber’s close shave!
Make sure you’re happy with your neckline and hairline before you leave, too, as your barber can always tidy up anything you want differently.
The look of the barber pole is linked to bloodletting, a common practice between 1100 and 1500, with red representing blood and white representing the bandages used to stem the bleeding.
The pole itself is said to symbolise the stick that a patient squeezed to make the veins in his arm stand out more prominently for the procedure.
