Barbershops have expanded their services to include coloring, highlighting, and advanced hair styling options, requiring an expanded list of equipment. Essential items include a barber chair, cutting tools, hair dryers, curling irons, and flat irons. Shaving equipment includes professional electric razors, traditional razors, and bristle shaving brushes.
Traditionally, barbers have cut, washed, and styled hair for male clients, as well as groomed facial hair. In recent years, many barbershops have expanded their services to include coloring, highlighting, and advanced hair styling options. With these expanded services has come an expanded list of barbering equipment and barbers must now maintain an array of supplies to meet the growing needs of their clients.
The first piece of barbershop equipment that every barber must own is a barber chair. This is a specialized chair that can be raised and lowered depending on the client’s height. The chair should also recline to make shaving and grooming facial hair a comfortable experience for the customer and an easier experience for the barber. Barber chairs swivel and move in every direction to grant a barber access to all areas without requiring the customer to constantly shift in the chair.
Cutting tools are also a must. Barber shears are an essential item, and most barbers have different shears for different tasks, such as thinning shears for thick, heavy hair. Clippers and clippers are used for cutting hair, trimming beards and mustaches. Barbers use these types of tools to create clean lines and remove unsightly neck hair. There are many types of clippers and while most barbers have personal preferences for basic jobs, they still keep different types for different tasks.
Now that men are demanding more styles, barber equipment lists also include hair dryers, curling irons and flat irons. These types of barber equipment are used for straightening and styling hair. Frizzy, curly hair can be tamed and straight hair can be given some volume or waves by one of these heated styling aids, depending on your hair type and desired effect. Many styling products are used in conjunction with these tools, and there are various specific products available for men.
Barber equipment used for shaving can also be found in every barber shop. While clippers and clippers can be used to clean longer facial hair, barbers use professional electric razors as well as traditional razors to ensure that the shave is as close as possible. A bristle shaving brush is sure to be found in a barber’s arsenal, and a straight razor requires a leather band to sharpen. Shaving cups hold shaving brushes, and some barbers still prefer fancy hand blades.
