In 3rd-century BC Rome, men favored carefully groomed beards maintained by tonsors (barbers) who worked in tonstrinae (barber shops). The barbers’ tools included bronze novaculae (razors) sharpened on whet stones, basic tweezers, and beeswax depilatories.

Different hair textures require different styles. Curly hair is versatile, but can be tricky to cut. Consider long layers, no shorter than the chin, to frame your face. Long layers will weigh down tight curls and reduce volume.

Volumising perms come in a variety of curl styles but as a rule they tend to use quite tight curls to create extra volume. Generally this perm produces lots of small curls as opposed to a few loose big ones.

While barbers and hairstylists work in a closely related industry, in modern grooming there is a difference between the two. The primary instrument of a barber is the electric hair clipper; for the hair stylist, it is scissors. However, both will use the other tool as a secondary item.

Do you ever regret the decisions you make in the barber’s chair the next day simply because you can’t make your hair do what it did for us? Remember, any new style can take a little extra work to get used to. If you’re not quite sure how to style it on your own, just ask for a few pointers during your appointment.

Our modern word “barber” is derived from the Anglo-French, "barbour," "someone who grooms beards." The word first entered our language in the 14th century, when it was used to describe those who washed, cut, trimmed, and shaped beards and hair.

If you’ve been using the same hair products forever, it’s a good idea to consult your stylist the next time you have a haircut or color. Because hair texture can change over time (or even when you get stressed), you might need to switch to a different type of product to see the best results.

If you have thin hair, it can often look flat. It is a good idea to try a bob or blunt cut, as these work well with thin hair. However, you should avoid long cuts, because they can make your hair look straggly.

A new hairdo is something that we all can use from time to time. It can be a major lift when things aren’t going your way, and you’ll keep that look for a while, so you keep that improved self-esteem, too.

In Medieval Germany, public bathhouses often offered hair cutting services as well. The German and Ashkenazi Jewish surname “Bader” historically referred to an individual in this profession. The name can also denote someone from the region of Baden.
