Barbershops have, in the past, typically served a social function as well as a practical one. Men would often gather in a barber shop throughout the day to discuss the town's latest news. Discussions in barbershops have ranged from rising prices, to the latest love exploits of any given man, to the latest episode of their favorite Shows, which the men are watching and discussing in the photo above. This kind of social atmosphere has begun to taper off, however, as younger generations find different places to congregate. The most successful barbershop owners were those who found other, more "creative" ways to make money. In order to survive, barbers often needed a higher income than what they earned from cutting hair. Most often, barbershops would have a "back room," where members of the community could come to gamble. There were usually several gambling options open to those interested, the most common of which being playing "the numbers" or poker. The owner of the shop would regulate the gambling, thus ensuring himself a portion of the gains. BEAVERS BARBER SHOP makes you feel like you are back in the past, with the all time pamper treatment.
