On September 16th, Barbers all around the world unite to give back - using the skills they have honed to change the lives of children. It is an annual event where barber shops all around the world will open & go about business as usual – All the money raised during World Barber Day is donated to a trusted Worldwide Charity. A World Barber Day welcoming pack is sent out to each barbershop worldwide who wishes to take part. As we all know in the middle ages barbers were not only cutting hair and shaving, but also pulling teeth, dressing wounds and performing operations. these Barber – Surgeons actually formed their first organisation in France in 1096. In 1096 barbers were recognised for more than just mens hairstyles & shaves. World barber day is an exhibition of how ordinary barbers are so much more than a barber – and how each barber can make a significant difference to the world in just one single day We used the combination of 1096 (16/09) to signify the day barbers can revert back to Barber – Surgeons & make a worldwide difference. Red and white striped with a hint of blue – a barber pole twisting next to a storefront signifies a place where men can get a haircut. On World Barber Day this signifies so much more. All Proceeds taken on the day will be donated directly to a trusted Worldwide Charity. Our chosen charity for the inaugural World Barber Day in 2018, was UNICEF.
