    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.

        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!

        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.
