Barbershop Etiquette for Barbers & Clients

There are a few things you can do to make your experience smoother for you and your barber.

Getting a haircut should be a simple process, and there are a few things that you and your barber can do to make the experience smoother.

As a client, when you walk into the shop, greet everyone with a friendly hello. Ask if a barber is available for a service, even if they appear busy. It's important to arrive on time for your appointment and not rush to jump into the chair right after the previous client hops out. Give your barber some time to prepare for your service.

As a barber, stay behind your chair and avoid socializing with colleagues or other clients. Greet every person who walks in, even if they are not your client, and make them feel welcomed. Build strong relationships with your clients, providing consistent and quality service. Consistency is key to maintaining long-lasting barber-client relationships.

Both the barber and client have a responsibility to treat each other with respect and courtesy. As a professional, I always provide consistency and professionalism in all of my services. Many of my clients have been with me for over 20 years because of my attention to detail and consistent quality cuts. By following these simple guidelines, we can ensure a positive experience for everyone involved. To schedule an appointment, please visit my website at redthebarbersj.com.

Sharing Gems with the Next Generation

Red The Barber at the Urban Barber College in San Jose, CA sharing some wisdom and a haircut.

It is only right that my first blog post is about my recent visit to the Urban Barber College in San Jose, California. I was very fortunate to share some knowledge and a haircut with the barber students. Many were close to completing the 1500 hours of hands on training and eager to start their barbering career. I could feel the hunger in these young barbers. That visit took me back to my barber college days… We covered a lot in a short amount of time such as: the importance of a barber in their community, the social media hype, finding your place, deciding who sits in your chair and much more!

The hardest part of barber school was completing the 1500 hours of hands on training which is about 10 months of training. Students in these barbering programs take coursework in theory and receive hands on training in haircutting techniques. I was invited to share my methods and best practices for a popular haircut - the bald fade. The art and technique of the bald fade involves, clippers, detail trimmers and a good eye. Bald fade aside, I shared details of my journey as a barber and a few things you won’t learn in barber college. I look forward to visiting these ambitious students in the very near future. Thank you Urban Barber College for the opportunity!

Lastly, I offer semi private or private barbering classes to aspiring, new or seasoned barbers who want to improve their skills. I can teach you how to offer the best haircuts to your clients, leaving them feeling fresh and wanting to come back. My Master Class will provide you with the ability to create a quality haircut in a timely manner, which is the secret to success in the world of men’s hair-styling. You can request an appointment at redthebarbersj.com - Master Class Monday.

I’ll share some key learnings or gems as I like to call them, here on my blog. Stay tuned and welcome to the Red the Barber Blog. - Red
