Barber

A barber cuts and shapes hair in a shop with a big comfy chair and a mirror. They use scissors, a comb, and a buzzing clipper, which is a small machine that trims hair short. For example, a customer might sit down and say they want their hair a little shorter on the sides. The barber listens, snips carefully, brushes away the tiny hairs, and shows the finished cut in the mirror.

Having a fresh haircut helps people feel neat and ready for their day. Hair that is out of someone's eyes is easier to see through, and a good trim can make a person smile at themselves in the mirror. A barber also chats with the people who visit, so the shop becomes a friendly place where neighbors say hello. Taking care of how someone looks is a way of taking care of them.
