Hamfest Gamgee was a foot masseur. The only one in the Shire, in fact. He made lots of money because Hobbits don't wear shoes, and that makes their feet very sore. Bilbo was his best customer because he was one of the only Hobbits who could afford the outrageous fees more than twice a month. He also experimented with hair styling, but that didn't go over so well. He always experimented on Sam, who's head started to resemble a beehive before Hamfest decided to move on to pedicures and manicures.
