Essa Dora

Ever noticed the colors on a classic barber pole? 💈

Dating back to the Middle Ages, the barber pole has long been a symbol of the trade, featuring its iconic spiral of colored stripes. While many countries use red and white, barber poles in the United States are traditionally red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸

Those colors actually have meaning—the red represents blood, the white symbolizes bandages, and the blue represents veins. For centuries, barbers did much more than cut hair and shave beards; they also performed surgeries, dentistry, and other medical procedures! 💉🦷🤕💇‍♂️

Essa Dora Salon & Spa is proud to celebrate 250 years of American independence and to be an American-owned and operated business. 🇺🇸

If you’d like to request an appointment, please visit our website at www.essadora.com or email us at [email protected]. We’ll be happy to respond when we reopen on Tuesday. 📬

Wishing everyone a safe, fun, and Happy 4th of July! 🎆
