Sooner or later, someone's hair becomes too long. It covers their eyes and gets in their ears, so the ideal thing to do in this situation is go to the barbershop and get a haircut. In the case of adult men, they might also go to the barbershop to get their beard shaven. In works involving little kids in particular, said little kids may be afraid of going to the barbershop because they think it's going to hurt, especially considering that scissors are a primary tool for the job. In the end, [[OneEpisodeFear they'll most likely overcome their fear]] and [[PostTreatmentLollipop may even get a lollipop]] for being a good customer. May also result in IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam if a character thinks they're going to hate getting a haircut, only to find out they like it. They will probably meet a ChattyHairdresser or two there. If the barber is inexperienced, this may result in a TraumaticHaircut, or in some cases, a GagHaircut. May often happen when a character's grown RapunzelHair (in the case of females) or WildHair (in the case of males).

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** In "The Haircut", one of the pilot shorts produced for ''Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow'', Bart's hair becomes too long and he tries to hide it by wearing a sombrero. When the rest of his family sees his long hair, they make him go to the Snipper Cuts and Shaves barbershop. Bart asks the barber just to take a little off the top, but the barber cuts off all of Bart's hair, [[TraumaticHaircut leaving him bald]]. When Bart gets back home, he tries unsuccessfully to glue his hair back on. The short ends with the rest of the Simpson family laughing at Bart when they see him bald ([[HypocriticalHumor including Homer]]).
** ShowWithinAShow example; In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E19TheFront The Front]]", Bart and Lisa decide to write their own episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheItchyAndScratchyShow'' after seeing a mediocre episode. When they see Homer accidentally cut Marge's hair off while trimming the hedges, they write an episode called "Little Barbershop of Horrors", where Itchy is the barber and Scratchy is his customer. In the episode, Itchy covers Scratchy's head with barbecue sauce instead of shampoo, then opens a box of [[AntAssault flesh-eating ants, which reduce Scratchy's head to a skull]]. When the script is rejected at first due to their young age, Bart and Lisa credit Grampa as the writer to get it approved.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E4LisaTheTreeHugger Lisa the Tree Hugger]]", Bart needs money to buy the [[BlandNameProduct GameStation 256]] video game console, so he tries to get a job to earn it.

** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS22E20HomerScissorhands Homer Scissorhands]]", Bart and Lisa accidentally toss paint into Patty's hair after Bart ruins a portrait of Patty and Selma that Lisa painted. Homer uses garden shears to cut the remaining hair, miraculously styling it. Selma demands that Homer style her hair, and he becomes Springfield's most popular hairdresser, soon styling hair for numerous women in Springfield. However, he soon discovers that listening to their inane chatter upsets him. Eventually, after declaring that he can hear the hair growing around town, Homer styles Marge's hair for a party, and they pretend that Julio created the hairstyle instead. Julio is immediately surrounded by women demanding that he style them, too.
* A variant in the ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'' episode, "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS2E14ACloseShave A Close Shave/A Close Shave For Duck]]"; Duck struggles to slow the Troublesome Trucks to a halt after they break away from Edward and chase him. They come across James just as he is about to leave the station with a passenger train. Duck just barely manages to avoid crashing into James' train and is diverted onto a siding, where the [=C&B=] Barbershop is. Inside, the barber is shaving a customer. Duck [[CarMeetsHouse crashes into the barbershop]] and apologizes, but the barber is furious with him for frightening his customers, and lathers his face with shaving cream as retribution. After Sir Topham Hatt explains to him that Duck saved the lives of all the passengers onboard James' train, the barber apologizes and washes the shaving cream off Duck's face as Thomas pulls Duck out.
* ''WesternAnimation/ZigAndSharko'': At the start of "Hair Story", Marina goes to the beauty salon for a haircut.
