Old West barber with scissors

Sculpted by 3D Fortress

In the Old West, barbers were an essential part of every town, providing haircuts and shaves to the local residents. Here are some interesting facts about barbers in the Old West:

• Barbershops were often a hub of social activity in small towns. Men would gather there to gossip, play cards, and talk politics.
• Barbers were often skilled at more than just haircuts and shaves. They were also trained in dentistry and minor medical procedures, such as bloodletting and extracting teeth.
• In addition to their barbering duties, many barbers also sold tonics and elixirs that were believed to have medicinal properties.
• Barbershops were a popular target for hold-ups and robberies. Because barbers often had cash on hand, they were seen as easy targets for thieves.
• Barbers in the Old West were often depicted as having a friendly and outgoing personality, and were respected members of the community.
• Barbers were also known for their distinctive striped pole, which was used to advertise their services. The red and white stripes symbolized the bandages used during bloodletting, while the blue symbolized the veins.
• The barber’s scissors were a symbol of his trade and were carefully crafted and maintained. They were often passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms.
