barber pole 💈 - OzVoca Emoji Details
barber pole
This emoji represents the spinning pole found in front of a barber shop. It's mainly used when getting a haircut or changing your hairstyle.
The barber pole emoji can be used to announce "I got a haircut!" or to talk about plans to go to the barber. It's also perfect for showing off a new hairstyle.
The three colors of this pole (red, blue, and white) have historical significance. In the past, European barbers also served as surgeons, so red symbolized arteries, blue symbolized veins, and white symbolized bandages.
Nowadays, with the rise of men's salons and the classic 'barbershop' culture, this emoji is seen more often. Its meaning has expanded beyond just getting a haircut to also signify 'grooming'—the act of taking care of one's appearance to look neat and stylish.
