A place where people, traditionally men, go to get haircuts and shaves from a barber.
From 'barber' (from Latin 'barba' meaning 'beard') plus 'shop.' Barbershops emerged as dedicated spaces in medieval Europe where barbers performed grooming services.
Barbershops were actually centers of community gossip and news in historical towns—barbers were often the first people to hear rumors because customers couldn't talk while getting shaved, then would gossip to the next customer!
