There are many successful barbershops in British towns, but there are also plenty of fantastic hairdressers too. Some men choose to go to a hairdressers whilst others will visit a barber, but what’s the difference? Well, a barber will specifically cut men’s hair yet hairdressers will cover male and female hair. You’re likely to find that a barber is more equipped and skilled at carrying out short cuts, fades and trims. They also have the skills to carry out work on beards, but hairdressers spend so much time working on women’s hair, they’re not necessarily the best equipped for cutting men’s hair. They are two completely different skills and though both will give you a haircut, they won’t give you the same type of haircut. Make sure you go to a barber if you’re a man who needs a short cut.
