Upper-middle-class men in Egypt usually go to the barber shop every week to trim their hair and beard. For them, the barber shop is not only a place to improve their self-image, but also a social salon. Because of religious customs, in Egypt, barber shops are separate for men and women. Barbershops are places that Egyptians yearn for, not just places to do their hair. ?

When getting a haircut, the hairdresser will talk to customers about the latest information on sports, politics, economy and social media. When they hear what they are interested in, other customers around them will join the discussion, just like a small salon. Once you have your hair cut, you may meet three or five friends. In the eyes of enthusiastic and outgoing Egyptians, barbershops are more than barbershops. It's more like a social place. After more than an hour, we chatted about gossip and the truth. We not only exchanged information but also made friends. We were in a good mood and cheerful. Barbers can also do stunts and give customers haircuts with hammers and blades. Holding a blade in one hand and a hammer in the other, the hammer kept beating the blade to trim the hairstyle. This novel hairstyle can promote blood circulation and provide a good massage for the scalp. After a haircut, people feel refreshed and relaxed, which can not only adjust their hair style, but also have a fitness effect. ?

After a haircut, most customers will choose to trim their beards again. In the eyes of Egyptian men, the perfect beard can make them look decent and sexy, and it is also a symbol of style.

This small world runs through every link of Egyptian life. Every time before marriage, major festivals, joining the army, returning home and other major ceremonies, they will sit in the barber shop, unload the panic facing the turning point in life, touch more interesting souls with laughter and abuse, and then meet the next stop with joy, whether sweet or bitter.
