Barber Chronicles: The Autonomous Chair | Daryl Rolle | TEDxAugusta

The magic of this industry begins way before this barber starts chiseling stone into an art piece. When the client first sits in the chair—from there fears are conquered, worlds are traveled, the unknown becomes the known, and the non-autonomous now faces the world autonomously. Through this piece of tonsorial furniture called the barber’s chair, the world changes.
