THE BARBER POLE STORY.
THE BARBER POLE LOGO HAS BEEN THE OFFICIAL SIGNATURE OF BARBERS FOR OVER 200 YEARS. THE SPINNING RED WHITE AND BLUE STRIPES ARE USED ONLY BY BARBER SHOPS. IN FACT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR ANY OTHER HAIRCUT SHOP THATS NOT LICENSED BY A BARBER TO USE THE BARBER POLE. NO BEAUTY SHOP OR BEAUTICIAN OR COSMOTOLOGY SHOP CAN LEGALY USE OUR POLE.
THE RED STIPE STANDS FOR BLOOD, AS IN THE EARLY YEARS BARBERS PRACTICED BLED LETTING. THIS WAS BELIEVED TO BE HEALTHY, GETTING RID OF YOUR BAD BLOOD. BARBERS ALSO WHERE THE FIRST DENTISTS. AND IN THE OLDEN DAYS THEY INSTALLED WOODEN TEETH.
AFTER THEY CLEANED THE BLOOD STAINED BANDAGES
THE BARBERS WOULD HANG THE BANDAGES ON A FLAG POLE LIKE STAFF TO DRY AND WIND WOULD BLOW WRAPPING THE THE BANDAGE AROUND THE POLE. THUS, THE BARBER POLE WAS BORN.
THE BLUE STRIPE STANDS FOR YOUR VIENS.
AND THE WHITE STRIPE STANDS FOR SANITARY BANDAGES, AND STERILE CONDITIONS . AS A BARBER SHOP SHOULD BE A VERY CLEAN ENVIRONMENT
NOW YOU KNOW THE REAL HISTORY OF THE BARBER POLE.
AS A PROFESSIONAL BARBER, I STAND BEHIND THIS POLE. ITS THE BARBERS SHRINE OF
ENRICHED SERVICE TO THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.
WHEN YOU LOOK GOOD, YOU FEEL GOOD.
THATS CRISTINO'S MOTTO.
