Barber
A barber is a person whose occupation is mainly to cut, dress, groom, style and shave hair or beards. A barber's place of work is known as a barbershop or the barber's. Barbershops have been noted places of social interaction and public discourse since at least classical antiquity. In some instances, barbershops were also public forums. They were the locations of open debates, voicing public concerns, and engaging citizens in discussions about contemporary issues. In previous times, barbers (known as barber surgeons) also performed surgery and dentistry. With the development of safety razors and the decreasing prevalence of beards in English-speaking world, Anglophonic cultures, most barbers now specialize in cutting men's scalp hair as opposed to facial hair.

Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
