Barbershop The barbershop was a facility aboard Federation starship s like the where crewmembers could get a hair cut , get their beard s trimmed , or enjoy a relaxing cosmetic application . The barbershop was a pentagonal room with seats for up to four customers . It featured a small waiting area with comfortable chairs and nice wall decorations . The room was equipped with everything expected from a barbershop : many mirrors ( evoking the Federation ' s LCARS style interfaces ) , washbasins , and even two long displays with stylized versions of the ancient barber ' s pole were present , interwoven with the Starfleet - arrowhead . Though many high - tech devices were employed in the shop , including electronic devices used to trim sideburns , dye hair or color toenails , old - fashioned scissors were also present . The barbershop aboard the " Enterprise " - D was run by the Bolian barber Mot , " the best barber in Starfleet " , befitting the Federation ' s flagship . At least three more Bolian barbers worked at the barbershop , including V ' Sal . Two male Human s ( one named Setti ) and a Human female were also among Mot ' s staff . All crewmembers working in the barbershop wore a special uniform consisting of a black undershirt and a cape with a characteristic striped pattern made from an orange and blue fabric . When Samuel Clemens saw a Bolian working at the barbershop in a corridor , he was of the impression that he had been brought to the ship as a servant , but Counselor Deanna Troi quickly explained to the visitor from the 19th century that the barber was on the ship on his own will . ( ) Most of the senior staff of the " Enterprise " - D visited the barbershop regularly , keeping Mot up to date about the latest happenings in the Federation . Shortly before the marriage of Miles O ' Brien and Keiko Ishikawa in 2367 , Geordi La Forge paid a visit to the barbershop to get a haircut by V ' Sal , though he had only been there a week earlier . Data visited the chief engineer at the barbershop , a rare visit , as his hair didn ' t require trimming . ( ) A little later that year , both Counselor Troi and Doctor Beverly Crusher enjoyed some relaxing beauty treatments in the barbershop ; Crusher was especially satisfied with the soothing colgonite astringent . ( ) In early 2368 , Captain Jean - Luc Picard had his hair cut by the always inquisitive Mot , who was very keen to describe his views of the current Cardassian situation . Commander William T . Riker had been to the barbershop just a day earlier and agreed a hundred percent with the Bolian ' s evaluation . ( ) Roughly one year later , Lieutenant Worf paid the barbershop a visit for his regular haircut and beard - trimming . He made very clear that Mot was not to cut off as much hair as he had during his last visit . It was in the barbershop , when seeing Mot ' s scissors , that Worf realized something was wrong , which , as it later turned out , had to do with an abduction by solanogen - based lifeform s . ( ) Finally , when trying to explain his unauthorized presence in a cargo bay , the Ferengi Qol claimed that everything was just a misunderstanding and he gotten lost on his way to the barbershop and ended up in the cargo bay , a lie not hard to see through taking into account the sparse amount of a Ferengi ' s hair .
