Barber shop

"Barber" comes from the Latin word "barba", which stands for beard. So the difference between a barber shop and a traditional hair salon is that it only receives men and provides services such as shaving and shaving for men.

So don't be misled by barber's Chinese literal translation: "barber" refers to all the places where hair is cut.

When razors were not as advanced as they are now, foreign gentlemen struggled to take care of their beards and might scratch their skin if they were not careful. As a result, naturally derived from the shaving industry.

Barbers skilled in using razors have undoubtedly become the best candidates in this industry. Wouldn't it be beautiful to get a haircut and a beard?

In the Middle Ages, in order to show their dignity, European gentlemen liked to distinguish themselves from ordinary people in appearance. Besides their clothes, well-groomed hairstyles and exquisite goatee are also important signs.

With the development of the times, "gentleman" no longer represents aristocratic status, but becomes a spirit. As a result, there are more and more "gentlemen", and exquisite hairstyles and beards have become items that civilians can own.

/kloc-In the 20th century, in order to keep the outline and texture of hair style, gentlemen invented hair oil. At first, hair oil was mainly made of animal fat such as bear fat or lard. Later, with the addition of modern fats such as beeswax and vaseline, the retention and luster of hair oil were achieved by taking it to the next level.

These cultures were also injected into American culture as Europeans set foot in the United States. In the 1930s and 1950s, American country rock musicians especially liked oily heads and kept their hair styles and beards bright.

Elvis Presley, the hottest singer of that era, especially liked oily heads. This masculine hairstyle is gradually accepted by the public.

At the beginning, the care of oil head is actually very simple: after washing your hair, use a towel to absorb moisture, apply hair oil, and then comb it back with a comb. However, human beings will certainly not be satisfied with mediocrity, and slowly some newer oil head shapes have been derived.

Terms such as gradient and sculpture are constantly being invented.

Details such as gradient and carving can't be cut out just by taking a scissors or going to the blackboard to find an uncle. You know, just the side hair, the gradient is as many as 12 layers. Mainly by shaving off the length of hair, the hair shows excessive colors such as white-blue-gray-black.

And this kind of work that tests the knife work is naturally more qualified for the barber master who pays attention to shaving and shaving the guests in the barber shop.

Because barbershops pay attention to the details and contours of hairstyles, it usually takes a long time to cut a hairstyle, and the average customer needs about an hour. Therefore, the verbal interaction between customers in barbershops and barbershops and customers around them will naturally increase. In addition, the barber shop only accepts male guests, which increases the social attribute of the barber shop.

Slowly, the barber shop has become a fixed place for men to chat, where men talk about politics, basketball, street culture, girls and so on, and even have a drink.

It can be said that the barber shop, like the street, is also the blend and birthplace of many cultures, because many characters will appear here.

Like James, who suffers from hair loss, he also frequents barbershops. Dog et al

In addition to attractive social attributes, barber shop services are also attractive. There will be no annoying sales promotion, complicated dyeing and perm, and even some black barbershops in the United States will not provide shampoo service before haircut.

When you walk into the barber shop, your back is facing the mirror. Yes, the barber shop looks at the mirror before you cut your hair, because the barber thinks that "unfinished hair is unfinished art", and when you look at the mirror, it is the time when this art is finished.

James had his back to the mirror for a haircut.

And there is often a misunderstanding here, is it true that barbershops can only cut oil heads? Of course not.

The barber will give you a choice of hairstyles, and the barber shop will post some hairstyles for you to choose from.

Let me briefly talk about several hairstyles in the barber shop.

First of all, this is induction scissors, also called buzz cut. In Chinese, it is called crew head because it was inconvenient for the crew to cut their hair on the ship at that time, so they all cut their hair short, but it is different from buzz cut. The hair on the top of the head is often a little longer than the sides, and there are layers on both sides.

The next one is a flat head with hair longer than the inch, and the side is also graded.

And what's the name of the oil hairstyle we usually see? In fact, there are many kinds of oil heads. Here is a kind of oil head that we often see: undercut.

In Fury, Brad Pitt combed the oil head upside down. Simply put, it means that the two sides are cut to the shortest, the middle flow is long, and the comb is backward, which is refreshing and masculine.

The fourth hairstyle, called flattop, needs to keep the outline with styling products, just like the Chinese word for "flat-topped building" in falttop, which is characterized by flatness! It may be a bit exaggerated to see it for the first time, hhh

If you look at friends in the NBA, you will definitely find this hairstyle familiar, because former Cavaliers player Shannon Porter often has a crew cut, but maybe her black hair is thicker, and maybe Shannon Porter doesn't need a styling product hhh.

Well, if you want to list the hairstyles of the barber shop clearly, it is certainly not difficult to list them at once. If you are also interested in barber shop culture, why not go directly to the barber shop to experience it? c u！
