haircut

shaving hair.

Refers to shaving off hair with a razor. In the past, this was not only daily grooming but also connected to life rituals, such as the handling of a baby's first hair. Therefore, it was traditionally performed on an auspicious day, especially the first haircut, symbolizing prayers for peace and smoothness. In modern times, it is mostly seen as a general hairdressing service.
