barber's
Where men trim
A barber's is a barbershop—a place where barbers cut hair.
The possessive form, common in British English, implies "barber's shop" with the noun dropped: I'm just popping down to the barber's for a trim.
The same pattern appears with other businesses: chemist's, butcher's, greengrocer's.
