Do you consider barbers as artists?

Um. No

In the 90s I went to Harry’s Bungalow Barber Shop in NOLA.

Harry had to be at least 75 years old. His hands shook as they held scissors near your head, and he always had a menthol cigarette in his mouth with an inch or more of ashes that needed to be flicked. Harry wasn’t an artist.

But Harry kept nudie mags in his waiting area, and you could smoke and drink beer while you waited.

Yes, I do! Ive seen some miracle performed with my own hair. LOL.

Also, one of my sons cuts his own hair with his back to the mirror while holding a mirror in one hand to see the back of his head. He shifts from right to left handed barbering with ease. Quite proficient I must say.

Well hell, if that is the case, I am a artist. I shave my head.

And you're great at "nudes".

Depends. Your question is like asking whether someone who “works with stone” is an artist or craftsman. It depends.

There is no question that the New Iberia Haircut is art.

The ninja turtles should’ve been named after famous renaissance barbers
