Barber Shops

Barbers really have their act together.

They are the only profession to have a universally recognized symbol: the swirly red, blue, and white pole.
The obvious symbol choice would have been a pair of scissors, but some forward thinking barber must have envisioned women’s beauty salons claiming that one.

While optometrists still argue over the giant pair of glasses or the eyeball and Locksmiths are split on whether to use the key or the lock as a symbol, those barbers are sitting pretty.

Flower shops, coin laundries, pet shops, and dry cleaners can’t reach a consensus on anything!

Some ice cream shops have the

big ice cream cone that lights up,

but it doesn’t seem to be universal.

Anyone can have one of those;

I even have one in my house!

I raise my glass of barbicide to you, Mr. Barber.

note: Why are there no Locksmith Duos, Coin Laundry Trios, or Flower Shop 5s?
