A merchant or dealer who buys, sells, or trades in hair or hair products.
From Old English 'hær' (hair) + 'monger' (from Old English 'mangere,' a merchant or dealer, from Latin 'mangō'). The '-monger' suffix creates names for traders.
The '-monger' suffix historically created job titles for merchants—fishmonger, cheesemonger, warmonger—and hairmongers were real tradespeople in medieval times who collected, processed, and sold hair for wigs and other purposes.
