/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

Fun will now commence.

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
