Barbers Fitzrovia | Pall Mall Barbers London | Barber shop

The Origins: Medieval to Early Modern Period
The history of barber shops in London can be traced back to the medieval period. Initially, barbers were more than just haircutters. They were also surgeons, performing bloodletting, tooth extractions, and even minor surgeries. The term “barber-surgeon” was commonly used during this time. The Barber-Surgeons’ Company, established in 1308, was a prominent guild that regulated the profession. The merging of barbers and surgeons under one guild in 1540, by King Henry VIII, illustrates the diverse roles barbers played in society.

In these early days, barber shops were hubs of social interaction. They were places where men gathered to discuss politics, exchange news, and socialize. The red and white barber pole, symbolizing blood and bandages, became a recognizable sign of barbering services.
