Time is Money
When a client books an appointment slot, they are purchasing time with me. If the client doesn’t honor their appointment scheduling, they are costing me that time.
I want to express my gratitude to all of my loyal clients who have supported me over the years.
Unfortunately, I have noticed an increase in no-shows and late clients. As a barber, my income is solely based on the services I provide to my clients, and when a client schedules an appointment, they are purchasing my time. When a client fails to show up or arrives late, it costs me that valuable time. I understand that mistakes happen, but I ask that when you schedule an appointment, you do your best to keep it and arrive on time.
My promise to my clients is to always provide high-quality and consistent barber services. By showing up for your appointment on time, I will have ample time to execute the haircut you requested to the best of my abilities. I take great pride in my craft and expertise and if visiting the shop is not an option for you, I offer house calls as an alternative. Booking a house call not only saves you time but also provides convenience.
For more information about house calls, please refer to my recent post.

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.
