You go to the barber to freshen up, not leave there with a gross new infection. But much like any shared space where men go to groom themselves, your neighborhood barbershop may nonetheless harbor some pretty disgusting stuff. Here are some potential risks that you might experience when going to the barber shop: folliculitis, tinea capitis, herpes, and impetigo - just to name a few. Because the barbershop supplies are shared, we can't make sure they have been disinfected or pre-cleaned for new customers.
This is not to scare any men away from going to barber shops, but let's face it. Like in the case of this man. He posted his terrible experience on the r/Wellthatsucks subreddit to inform others that we shouldn't trust anyone. Scroll down to check out what happened to him. We are sure that you will be scared and never have another barber cut your hair again.
This guy shared his experience of having a barber cut his hair. And this was the last time he let a barber cut his hair
