00:05 The History Behind Barber Shops
01:09 The Popularity of Barber Shops Today

Barbershops have been around for thousands of years. The oldest known one was discovered in Egypt, dating back to around 3000 BC. However, obviously, they didn't always look like they do now: before they were used as places to get a shave or a haircut, barber shops were also where people would go to get their teeth pulled.

Eventually, though, around the 15th century, barbering became more specialized. It became an occupation that focused on cutting hair and shaving beards, which made it easier for people with medical training to start practicing dentistry, which had previously been limited to tooth extraction.

Then came the 20th century! In the early 1900s, barber shops began offering services like shampooing and shaving cream. Furthermore, during the 1960s and 1970s, well, let's just say things got wild! Haircuts became more elaborate and stylists really started playing with color and texture at that point.

Today, barber shops have become a huge part of American culture. They're where we go to get a haircut, but they're also so much more.

Barber shops are like the town square or the living room you grew up in. They're the place where everyone goes to connect and hang out. The modern concept of barber shops has been around since the 1800s, when barbers would cut their customers' hair while they were getting shaved. Today, people still go to get their hair cut by a professional and even to get a shave at places like Scissors & Scotch, but more than that, they go for the experience of interacting with other people in a shared space.

Barber shops are an important part of our communities. They provide an opportunity for us all to come together and talk about what's going on in our lives. When you walk into a barber shop, you know that everyone else there has had the same experience as you. They've gone through some sort of transformation into something new and exciting, like getting married or having kids, or they're excited about starting something new, like moving across the country. No matter what your story is, there's someone else there who has been through something similar or who wants to hear about what's happening in your life right now.

Overall, a barber shop is a great place to visit, whether you need a fresh cut or just someone to talk to.
