Etymology
The term 'barber' originates from the Latin word 'barba', which means beard. Barbers have a long history dating back to ancient civilizations, where they were not only responsible for haircuts but also performed medical procedures and dentistry. In the Middle Ages, barbers were also known as surgeons due to their additional skills. Over time, barbershops became popular social hubs for men to gather, chat, and receive grooming services.
