Haircut and Tooth Extraction in One Visit
Imagine going to get a haircut and leaving with a freshly pulled tooth. It was perfectly normal a few centuries ago when barbers also served as neighborhood dentists and surgeons for minor procedures. They didn’t just cut hair: they pulled teeth, performed bloodletting, and even applied leeches as part of basic care.
It may seem absurd today, but at the time, barbers were seen as versatile and competent professionals. Still, the idea of mixing cut hair and dental extractions in the same appointment is enough to send shivers down your spine.
