384 Barber Shop

As individual structures, barber shops are normally one-story buildings with wood frame or masonry exterior walls. They may also be found in large shopping mall areas of mixed building construction. Interiors are very plain with little trim or ornamental items. Most barber/beauty shops have large open areas with very few interior partitions. Floor finishes are resilient floor covering, e.g., asphalt tile, vinyl tile, vinyl composition tile, etc.

The costs include plumbing fixtures and electrical service but do not include mechanical chairs, furnishings and mirrors.
