Barber Platform and Mat

Abstract

The present invention is a platform and mat for use by barbers. The platform elevates a mat a few inches above the ground and is generally of rectangular shape with a semicircular cut out to account for a barber chair in the shape of a barber mat in which a barber can stand on. The shape should not be construed as limiting; however, as relevant mats in the field exist in a variety of shapes and sizes. Additionally, the invention may comprise a lip extending approximately an inch above the mat along the upper perimeter of the platform to give the barber notice of the edge of the platform before falling off the platform.
