Barbicide Jar Shapes An Industry

By Rebekah Alford


In the year nineteen forty seven there were some world changing events that took place. The sound barrier was broken. Man could now travel at speeds great than seven hundred sixty eight miles per hour. The color barrier was broken. Now the best players could play baseball in the big leagues regardless of color. And in the hair care world a barrier to hygiene was obliterated through the invention of the Barbicide jar.

Maurice King was a science teacher with aspirations that went beyond the classroom. He pioneered the technology, and along with his brother shared it with the world. This gave the industry a firm push at the right time. No matter the gender, race, or place of origin individuals can be unknowing carriers of fungi, viruses, and bacteria in their blood, skin, and hair. In a barber shop or beauty salon the risk of transferring these to others was very high.

Situations could occur where a comb or pair of scissors scratched the skin at the scalp or face level. This could bring on bleeding. Now the tools can carry infections to others or the cut or scratch becomes an open door for the current customer to become infected. This was unavoidable since the tools had to be used repeatedly during the course of business.

It would be unthinkable to buy one individual tool for each customer. The business would never get off the ground. There was the need to sterilize barber and beauty salon tools with the same assurance as those used in medical and dental procedures. And, it had to be basically done in real time. This is what the Barbicide jar provides.

The translucent blue color is considered by some to be the technological breakthrough of Barbicide. Although the color is a one that sooths and provides visual assurance of cleanliness, it is much more than that. Barbicide is an efficient disinfectant that is safe for humans to handle. It is a methodical mix of a germicide, pseudomonacide, fungicide, and germicide. It is interesting to note that the composition was so advanced that it kills the aids virus which was not even around during the nineteen forties.

The sturdy glass jar along with the tool basket, retriever handle, and cover made of stainless steel, is the hardware that is a perfect complement with Barbicide. Scissors, combs and other hair styling tools can be placed into the basket which can then be lowered into the jar. This improves ease of use. Professionals do not have fish for tools. The tools come to them.

The jars come in different sizes. From small, middle, and thirty seven ounce sizes each has a rubber support that keeps it steady and slide free. The jars are also used in manicure and pedicure shops. And with a focus on the entire family there are special jars that can be used for pet grooming products.

The hair care industry will continue to be healthy. It will continue to be an industry that will continue to inspire men and women to entrepreneurial independence. The development of the Barbicide jar plays a significant role in this.
