If this is a quiz question, to which you require the answer, I expect the answer required is Delilah, who was responsible for cutting off the hair of Samson. However, if this is the answer required by the quiz setter, this is totally incorrect. Delilah did not cut off the hair of Samson, but called for a servant to do it. The servant was male, not female:

Judges 16:18

When Delilah saw that he had told her everything, she sent word to the rulers of the Philistines, "Come back once more; he has told me everything." So the rulers of the Philistines returned with the silver in their hands. Having put him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him.

There are no records of a female barber in The Bible.
