text: how did people cut their hair in ancient times? have any special tools been found by archeologists?   ancient times barbers? hmm, which ancient times and what locations of these ancient sites?  scissors have been found dated back pretty far.  all scissors are are two knives put together in a fulcrum.  that would suggesst someone with engineering knowledge developed it.  which sounds amazingly like the romans, and we all know the romans were famous for adopting a cultures benefits and calling it their own.  before that, marvelous idea of fulcrummed scissors, i would think knives of all sorts were used.  sharped "things" that alowed one to cut hair like rope. or even early razors in the form of shells and other fine instruments that would not cut the skin.  before the idea of groomly dress and appearance to impress i don't think many people worried about it.
