Barber (from the Latin barba, "beard") is a person whose profession specializes in the cutting, styling, dressing, grooming, and shaving of topical and facial hair. Traditionally the practice focused mainly on male clients, but over the years we find that female clients with "low cuts" prefer barbers over hair salons as they opt for someone who specializes in close cut styles. A barber's place of work is commonly known as a "barber shop", or "the barber's".
