Small ships that are sent on long voyages must have an Emergency Holodeck Salon protocol, in case they can't get to a place civilized enough to have barbershop.

As good an explanation as any. I would assume that unlike Enterprise this was not meant for a long term mission so it wouldn't have a live barber on board.

If they can have a holographic doctor, a holographic barber is absolutely possible!

Which really does bring up the question: How the hell did the crew of the TOS Enterprise take care of their hair? They can't have had a barber in such a small crew, sometimes they went for ages without contact with Federation outposts... so who did Yeoman Rand's hair?

The original Enterprise had a crew of around 430. Plenty of room for at least one hair person.

I long suspected that haircuts in the 24th century were done by choosing a selection via computer, then sticking your head into the food replicator and then it would cut based on that choice. That or they had a Bolian barber like on the 1701-D.

It's possible they either had a styling salon on Voyager like Enterprise-D did, or they could call up a holographic hairdresser and get their hair done there.

Just use the transporter.

My sister was always commenting on Janeway's hair changes, as if that were an important part of the show.

a trip to the automated hair salon would have been a nice touch. also, having Neelix be a barber instead of the cook would have made a lot more sense.
