since they use sharp stuff such as scissors to cut hair and razors to clean the hair on the side and back of the head. and they dont clean this stuff.

Switch barbers if the tools are not sanitized after each customer. Also what does your barber wear when giving a hair cut? And what hair is being cut? If your barber is fully clothed and does proper sanitation of tools and is cutting hair on the head above your shoulders then you won't get an STD. Oh what are you doing to your barber during this hair cut? Maybe that is what your question is really about.

STD's are just what the name states: sexually transmitted diseases are diseases that are transmitted sexually. What you are asking about are 'blood borne pathogens' or diseases that are in blood and are passed between people by the mixing of blood. The worst of these is HIV. The other is Hepatitis B.....which you can receive immunizations for so you will never get it even if exposed. If you have not received the series of injections, it would be good for you to see your healthcare provider and start the series.
Could you possibly get a STD from a haircut....oh for God sakes!

barber shops have strict sanitation standards they must follow. When choosing a barber make sure they sanitize all of their equiptment. Also you may be able to contract a disease from an unsanitary shop, but I doubt an STD.

depends on what hair you are getting cut. If its your head you are good to go. If you are worried about Hep C and HIV its possible to get that.
