person who cuts men’s hair
A person whose job is to cut men’s hair and shave or trim their beards in a special shop.
الگوی کاربرد:

اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "barber" with "hairdresser" or "stylist". In modern English, "barber" usually means someone who cuts men’s hair and beards, often in a simpler style, while "hairdresser" or "stylist" is common for more fashion-focused work and for women’s hair. Learners also sometimes say *"I go to barber"* instead of the correct *"I go to the barber"* or *"I go to a barber"*.
هممعنیها
hairdresser (More general and more often used for people who cut and style women’s or mixed-gender hair, not only men’s.)
|
stylist (Focuses more on fashionable styling; common in salons and unisex contexts, not specifically for men.)
متضادها
customer (Not a strict opposite in meaning, but the complementary role to a barber in the service relationship.)

اشتباه رایج:
Learners rarely use "barber" as a verb and may think it is wrong or only a noun. The verb is less common but correct, especially in formal or descriptive writing. In everyday speech, it is more natural to say "cut his hair" or "gave him a haircut" instead of "barbered him."
هممعنیها

|
trim (Focuses on making hair or a beard shorter and neater, not on the full act of giving a complete haircut as a job.)
متضادها
