Traditional Barber in Indonesia
Barber exists in every country, it is a profession to help people’s hair tidy and stylish. In a corner of Jogjakarta, I found a traditional barber who works every morning to style and cut people’s hair. A profession as a traditional barber is very different with the modern one, as a matter of earning and way of working.
The modern barber (salon) works in a clean room with air conditioner to keep them and the clients comfortable. As a result, the clients should pay a little bit higher.
Traditional barber works on any space available like in the corner of a market, kiosk, or even under big trees. It costs cheaper to cut our hair on them, about maximum IDR 4,000 (US$ 0.4). As a matter of quality, traditional barber has good quality but they sometimes do not follow trends, so that young people prefer cut their hair on salon.
Traditional barber usually only do cutting hair. They don’t have services like toning, hair spa, cream bath, rebounding, etc. Therefore, traditional barber is classified as a lower class in the hair styling field. But, it is the way the do for living. Their family depends on them. So, let us help by cutting our hair on the traditional barber.
