If you ask the elders of your family as to “how barber shops were in the past,” they would share some distant memories of enjoying quality grooming from experienced hands, sharing stories, and chitchatting along. This used to be a time of self-pampering to rejuvenate and groom to present oneself better.
Unfortunately, the barbering industry started to gradually see a downfall. By the mid-20th century, the easy availability of grooming tools helped men to groom on their own, resulting in a sharp decline in the business. But by boosting the past concept of rejuvenating while getting professionally groomed, barbershops today have a special positioning in the market. The evolution of this traditional form of haircutting and shaving has transpired into a complex art with the changing trends seen today, giving it the name of modern barbering.
What is Modern Barbering?
Unlike earlier times when people only went with the motive to get a good shave and haircut, visiting a barber today is more inclined towards revitalizing hand in hand. Additionally, the new age of the craft influenced by Western trends too contributes to the changing landscape of barbering, especially in India. Consumers are constantly requesting styles that are modern and refined. Be it short or long, clean cuts are in trend and a modern barber must know how to deliver them.
