The First-Class Barber Shop was located on C-Deck, just off the Aft Grand Staircase. This room was open between 7:00 A.M and 7:00 P.M, There was a barber, Augustus Weikman, permanently on staff who offered shampooing, shaving, and hairdressing services for 1 shilling (£5 in 2018) or $0.25 each. The room itself was installed with two swivel chairs, a marble countertop with two sinks, and leather-padded waiting bench.
The Barber Shop also offered small souvenirs and collectibles for purchase, including postcards, White Star Line-branded trinkets, tobacco, dolls, penknives, and hats. The souvenirs could be purchased by passengers visiting the Barber Shop.
Guests travelling in Second Class had their own barber shop located on E-Deck. There were no such facilities for the passengers travelling in Third Class.
Sinking[]
August Weikman stayed at his post during the sinking, but was fortunate enough to be rescued and survived the disaster. As visible on the wreck, this room was torn away with the Aft Grand Staircase in the sinking of the ship.
