Question: 1 / 90

What term describes the practice of shaving a man's face?

Hairdressing

Barbering

The practice of shaving a man's face is specifically referred to as barbering. This term encompasses a range of men's grooming services, including haircuts, shaves, and facial treatments, with a strong historical association with male grooming. Barbering is distinct in its focus on men's hair and facial care, and the tools and techniques involved are unique to this discipline. While facial grooming can describe various methods of caring for the face, it is broader and does not exclusively refer to shaving. Hairdressing generally pertains to the styling and care of hair, especially for women, and while shaving is involved in barbering, the term itself is less comprehensive. Thus, barbering is the most accurate term to describe the specialized practice of shaving a man's face within the context of grooming services offered by barbers.
