Barbers work in small or large
shops and in many different settings. Employment may be secured
in shopping centers, hotels, office buildings, and hospitals.
A barber may become a shop owner or a skilled specialist in
one or more phases of the profession.
Barbers provide their patrons with a variety of services largely
related to the care of the hair which includes hair analysis,
anatomical critique, and the execution of all services.
