Tips Before a Trip to the Barbershop
A trip to your barber is often just another routine appointment, however, when it comes to maximizing your next visit, are you really on your best barber shop behavior? If not, then try these simple etiquette rules on how to behave that include watching the clock to keeping it clean.
Patience
Any barber that is worth his salt is likely to be busy, so, if your main stylist is running behind, practice some patience. In all likelihood, it is not his fault anyway, as his earlier appointments could have shown up late or needed extra time. So try to give yourself a 30-minute buffer before your next engagement.
Punctuality
This brings us to another vital etiquette rule, try to be on time. If you happen to be running late, contact the shop and give them a heads up. This is basic common courtesy and you are doing your part in keeping your barber on schedule.
Clean Hair
Hair is always best to cut in its natural state, meaning no products. Even wearing a hat can negatively affect a cut as it changes both the texture and creates cowlicks. Hat hair and gunk can both impair your barber’s ability to cut. So make sure you come with a clean head of hair as it will be appreciated by your stylist.
Tips
If you are happy with your haircut, why not show your appreciation by leaving your barber a tip, even though it is not mandatory, it shows your stylist that you appreciate their hard work. Also, leaving a gratuity will mean you will be remembered the next time you come for a haircut.
