V'Sal was a male Bolian civilian of the 24th century United Federation of Planets.

In 2367, he was a barber who worked in the barbershop on board the USS Enterprise-D.

Data encountered V'Sal and Geordi La Forge joking with each other in the barbershop shortly after stardate 44390. V'Sal was noted for telling La Forge "I'm just a barber, not a miracle worker." (TNG: "Data's Day")

V'Sal was played by actor Shelly Desai.

His name was not spoken in the episode, and derives from the end credits. [1]

The Star Trek Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., p. 310 suggests that Mot (introduced in "Ensign Ro") was probably intended to be the same person.
