When was the idea of a 'hairdresser' introduced?

by Historical-Engine-26

I'm thinking specifically, was it always a role or job of someone to cut hair? Or was that just a general thing people did, cutting their own hair and the hair of their family members. Like would it just have been the role of the mother of the family? In todays world, people wanting a haircut would just go to a business which specialises in hairstyling, would that have been an option say 300 years ago? Also, would it have been specific to your social rank, say people lower in society doing it themselves while people of higher standing having 'hairdressers'. Or would everyone have had access to a hairdresser, or conversely no one?
