    I’m guessing this is in reference to the fact that the barbershop’s competitors may be called hairstylists. The spelling is throwing me off, though.

      Best guess is that this barber is trying to advertise that he does hairstyling in addition to shaving, but did a poor job on signmaking. He also doesn’t have fancy hair himself, so although he wants to think he can style your hair, all of the context clues point at him not being good at it. Kind of an obtuse joke regardless of the actual meaning.

      I think it’s the short pole that suggests he’s bad at styling, or will take too much off?
