World Barber Day
September 16 · Level 6 · #994 of 2238
This day is for the people who trim, shave and listen to your stories at the same time. It is a good excuse to thank your barber and appreciate a craft with a very long history.
How it is celebrated: barbershops run special offers and open days, and regulars drop in for a fresh cut and a thank-you.
The red-and-white striped pole outside a barbershop goes back to the days when barbers also worked as surgeons: red stood for blood and white for bandages.
