When was the first hairdressers?

The first recorded hairdressers date back to ancient civilizations, with evidence from ancient Egypt around 3000 BC, where both men and women styled their hair using various tools and techniques. In ancient Rome, specialized hairdressers known as "tonsores" became popular, offering services to the upper class. Over the centuries, the profession evolved, leading to the establishment of more formal hairdressing as we know it today, particularly in the 19th century.
