You don’t need to worry about rabies in this situation. Rabies is primarily transmitted through the saliva of an infected animal, typically via a bite or scratch1. Since your barber received proper post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) after being bitten, he would not be infectious2.
Rabies is not spread through casual contact, such as getting a haircut3. If you have any lingering concerns, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for peace of mind.
