barber tools

Scissors and combs

Barber tools are the implements used by barbers in their trade—scissors, clippers, razors, combs, and the like.

The phrase appears most often in contexts of equipment shopping or professional training: She enrolled in cosmetology school and had to buy her own barber tools.

A barbershop's character often shows in the quality and arrangement of its tools.
