Skin cancer screening practices of UK hairdressers and barbers for their customers: a preliminary study
In this UK city study, perceived knowledge of the signs and symptoms of skin cancer appeared to arise from knowing someone who had experienced skin cancer rather than formal training. Lack of skin cancer education was a deterrent to screening, but most participants would like training. Trained hairdressers and barbers could potentially provide regular head-and-neck skin screening for customers.
