Barber History
During the first centuries of the
Christian era, the barbers of Europe practiced their
profession wherever it was the custom to shave the face
and trim the beard. Charlemagne made long, flowing hair
the fashion, but each new conqueror changed the fashion
according to his whim and personal needs. During the
first ten centuries A.C., the great majority of the
people and even the nobles were uneducated and could
neither read nor write. The most learned people of the
times were the monks and priests who became the
physicians of the dark ages. There were no professional
surgeons at that time. Most of the diseases, which are
easily curable now, were fatal then. "Blood letting" was
the popular method of curing all ills. The clergy who
enlisted barbers as their assistants first performed
this. This was the first step in the upward progress of
the barber profession.
The modern
barber pole originated in the days when bloodletting was
one of the principal duties of the barber.The
two spiral ribbons painted around the pole represent the
two long bandages, one twisted around the arm before
bleeding and the other used to bind is afterward.
Originally, when not in use, the pole with a bandage
wound around it, so that both might be together when
needed, was hung at the door as a sign. But later, for
convenience, instead of hanging out the original pole,
another one was painted in imitation and that began the
era of the barber pole.
