Truefitt & Hill is the oldest barbershop in the world, as certified by Guinness Book of World Records in April 2000. Truefitt was established in 1805 by William Francis Truefitt, who styled himself as hairdresser to the British Royal Court and the firm received their first Royal Warrant from King George III.

A barbershop is a unique place where people come to get haircuts, shaves, and other grooming services. It's more than just a place to get your hair cut; it's an experience. A good barbershop should have experienced and knowledgeable barbers who can provide quality service with attention to detail.

A barber's place of work is known as a barbershop or the barber's. Barbershops have been noted places of social interaction and public discourse since at least classical antiquity.
