Barber is probably the worst RP role in the game. Very few people like leaving the appearance of their hand-made character in someone else's hands. Even in situations where the barber is in theory useful, such as after an outbreak of a virus that causes hair loss are easily replicable using the mirrors found around the station (as an aside I also think that functionality should be exclusive to off-station mirrors and magic mirrors). You can't really interact with people in character as a barber without either luck or assault. One idea to rework it is to give barber a tool that does instant plastic surgery. Currently, plastic surgery is a whole medical procedure that requires anesthetics, a doctor who is probably busy, and a lot of time. And there are a lot of instances in which plastic surgery could be useful. Its very common to see "monkey 453" from a new geneticist or a back alley revival, as well as a lot of "unknowns" from people who had a lot of damage done to the face and are now disfigured. In these cases its not normally worth it going in for surgery, but from an RP perspective would be perfectly fine if done as a quick procedure with no anesthetics required. It also makes a barber antag more interesting since tots could work with a traitor barber to better hide their identity.
