A barber's pole is a type of sign used by barbers to signify the place or shop where they perform their craft. The trade sign is, by a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages, a staff or pole with a helix of colored stripes (often red and white in many countries, but usually red, white, and blue in the United States).
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average U.S. barber earned $27,710 in 2013. Meanwhile, the top 10 percent of barbers earned an average barber salary of $44,190. While these barber salary figures are less than overwhelming, they are competitive with a number of other professions.
