A haircut refers to the practice of cutting one’s hair by either a barber or hair stylist and forms part of personal grooming for both men and women.
New York salons began reopening Friday, but not to their customers yet. Due to strict state requirements for businesses – including social distancing requirements – salons must comply with them before opening for customers again.
Paul Mitchell’s Academy of Cosmetology and Esthetics
We all understand how a great haircut and some well-applied makeup can give us confidence, but cosmetology goes beyond mere vanity; it enables us to express ourselves fully while showing the world the unique characteristics that define who we are as individuals.

Spinning Barber Pole
The spinning barber pole is an iconic icon of the barbering profession. It has a rich history and various meanings; some use it to demonstrate professionalism as barbers, while others enjoy its aesthetic value and symbolism. Whatever its history or purpose, it’s still an effective way to attract customers.
In the Middle Ages, barbers provided more than hair shaving services: they treated wounds, set bone fractures, and even performed surgical operations on patients – becoming known as barber surgeons. The colors of their pole reflected this medical service – red is for blood, and white bandages.
Red and white barber poles can sometimes be seen, indicating the presence of brothels, especially in South Korea, where such poles are known as bally and miyongsil, respectively. However, actual brothels often display two poles spinning in opposite directions to prevent confusion among passersby.
