barber

     

A barber (from the Latin barba, "bear") is someone whose occupation is to cut any type of hair, give shaves, and trim beards. In previous times, barbers also performed surgery and dentistry. In more recent times, with the development of safety razors and the increasing rarity of beards, most barbers primarily cut hair.
