People that work on musical instruments are called luthiers... does that also apply to a bow maker?
What about a rehair person... are they luthiers as well?
What about an expert in just hair... is there a special name for such a craft?

lu·thi·er noun \ˈlü-tē-ər, -thē-ər\
Definition of LUTHIER
: one who makes stringed musical instruments (as violins or guitars)
Origin of LUTHIER
French, from luth lute (from Middle French lut)
First Known Use: 1879

Cheers, Mat

A bow-maker is an Archetier, so maybe that also applies to those who simply re-hair and repair them.

Mebbe they'll write a book someday: The Three Archetiers
