Man getting haircut: medium-dark skin tone Emoji

People

A man with medium-dark skin sitting in a barber’s chair while a pair of scissors trims his hair. This graphic captures the professional grooming process and the transformation of a haircut.

Usage Context

Use this to talk about a fresh look, heading to the salon, or checking in on your barber appointment. It’s frequently shared alongside ✂️ to denote a literal trim or 💈 to point toward a local barbershop. It acts as a quick way to signal a change in appearance.

History

The base haircut emoji arrived in Unicode 6.0 in 2010, but the ability to specify gender and skin tone was added later in 2016. This update was part of a major industry-wide push to improve human representation in messaging by allowing users to better reflect their own physical identities.
