For some reason these pictures of Janeway made me wonder about barbers/stylists on starships. I understand that they would be on various space stations and planets. But, Voyager was trapped in the Delta Quadrant for 7 years, who did their hair?
Forgive me if this is answered in some series somewhere, most of my Star Trek knowledge ends somewhere around Voyager season 3.
Enterprise in TNG has a hairdresser named Mr. Mott. U.S. Navy ships have barbers on board.
So whether you’re playing barista, delivering fresh laundry, or giving a trim in the barber shop, you’ll be one of the most popular people on board.
So it’s safe to assume there is someone acting as a ship’s barber. We also know that someone acted as a barber from the episode Cold Fire.
Kes receives studies in honing her telepathic abilities from Tuvok in his quarters. When Tuvok asks her to focus her mind, Kes begins hearing the thoughts of Neelix, who is getting a haircut in another part of the ship.
Sadly, it doesn’t say who is doing the cutting.
Even “smaller” ships have a barber shop - for example the NS Savannah has one, and that has a max of 60 passengers and 124 crew. But they were expecting to be at sea for months at a time.
Voyager may have had a dedicated barber, or maybe someone learned to do it after they got stranded. Maybe they had an Emergency Barber Hologram!
They had an emergency barber hologram. He was happy to do it too, until he heard about the doctor being able to walk around freely.
“Please state the nature of the hair style emergency.”
“Computer. Delete the barber.”

Thanks for the informative answer. The fact that navy ships have barbers is what made me think of the question in the first place. I kind of assumed they might have a barber on starships since they have bartenders and other service personnel but I just couldn’t remember it being brought up.
They picked up a Kazon hairdresser on the way
E.M.H. - Emergency Medical Hairdresser?
Hair-EMH: Please state the nature of the hair emergen- Oh dang girl! What is going on with your ends!? Just sit down! Lemme get a comb!
She’s calling HR to get the promotion through extra fast right? … right …?
You gave Harry the con for the first time and he literally saved your life!
But then that other time he was in charge he got involved in an unaffiliated planet’s civil war and helped transport one side’s cloaking tech… so, my recommendation at this time is another demotion.
Holodeck haircuts??
would you have to turn off the safeties in order for your hair to actually be cut?
Just promote the ECH doctor instead, he deserves it
