Yes, have found my husbands grandfather, who passed in 1928, was listed as a hairdresser on his son's birth certificate. This is from 1900 in Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia. Broken Hill was a major mining centre at that time - population 30,000. Unionism very strong among miners, railway men and the Journeymen Hairdressers - lobbying for better pay and conditions. Found some fab old photos of the committee members of the Master Hairdressers Association in South Australia. Men dressed in style then - even in the bush.
