How barbershops originated

A barbershop is considered a territory where a man can calmly put himself in order without being distracted by a female assessment and gossip. The attendants are creative representatives of the strong half. Barbershop is visited not only for a new haircut and a professional shave, but also for moral relaxation, making useful acquaintances, and so on. Since when have such salons gained popularity? What is the history of their origin? More on this is below.

The craft of barbering has been around since ancient times. Some of the first ancient examples of razors that are known today date back to the period of ancient Egyptian civilization. In those days, no one had yet heard of such a profession; priests and ancient healers acted as barbers.

The first mention of barbers appeared in ancient Greece. Establishments were simultaneously considered men's clubs, as women's hairstyles at that time were done at home. Men visited such salons to cut their hair, trim their beards, and curl their hair. In parallel, secular conversations were conducted.

Under the rule of Alexander the Great, for security reasons, soldiers were forbidden to wear beards. Over time, the fashion trend even touched the commoners, which only added to the popularity of barbers.

A little later, the Romans also succumbed to this fashion. Going to the hairdressing center in the morning to tonsor (barber), in addition to inducing beauty, one could find out the latest news and gossip.

In ancient times, it was the rulers who were trendsetters. If the head of state had a clean-shaven face, the common people also shaved off their beards and vice versa.

The first barber organization, the Worshipful Company of Barbers, was founded by Richard le Barbour in London in 1308. By the way, the institution is popular to this day. Initially, barbers also acted as cosmetologists. Their duties included cleaning the ears, and face, and removal of boils and massages. Surgical services could also be obtained in institutions.

This continued until the 18th century. Later, doctors and barbers separated from each other, and with the emerging fashion for wigs, salons fell into decline altogether. Barbershops gained their former popularity at the end of the 19th century, once again turning into men's leisure clubs. To this day, there is a trend of growth in the development of fashion establishments.
