Dos:
Arrive on Time: Respect your barber’s time and arrive punctually for your appointment. Arriving late can throw off the schedule and inconvenience other clients who are waiting.
Communicate Clearly: Be specific about what you want and communicate your expectations clearly to your barber. Bring reference photos if you have a particular style in mind, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or provide feedback during the haircut.
Trust Your Barber: Your barber is a trained professional with expertise in hair styling and grooming. Trust their judgment and recommendations, and be open to trying new styles or techniques suggested by your barber.
Relax and Enjoy: A visit to the barber shop is a chance to relax and unwind. Sit back, enjoy the experience, and take advantage of the opportunity to pamper yourself with a quality haircut and grooming session.
Tip Generously: Show your appreciation for excellent service by tipping your barber generously. A standard tip is 15-20% of the total cost of the haircut, but feel free to adjust based on the quality of service provided.
Don’ts:
Micromanage the Process: While it’s important to communicate your preferences, avoid micromanaging the haircut or dictating every detail to your barber. Trust their expertise and give them the freedom to work their magic.
Be Distracted: Put away your phone and avoid distractions during your barber visit. Engage in conversation with your barber or simply enjoy the ambiance of the shop without the constant buzz of notifications.
Be Impatient: Good things take time, and a quality haircut is no exception. Avoid rushing your barber or pressuring them to finish quickly. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the process without rushing through it.
Forget to Book Ahead: Barber shops can get busy, especially during peak hours or on weekends. To avoid disappointment, book your appointment in advance and plan ahead for your next visit.
Forget to Follow Up: After your haircut, follow any aftercare instructions provided by your barber and maintain your style with the right products and grooming routine. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your barber if you have any questions or concerns after your visit.
