Well-Groomed Barbers

When browsing a barbershop’s social media and website, you’ll often find plenty of photos showcasing their haircuts, giving you a good sense of their technical skills and creativity. However, more than the customers themselves, the best representation of a barbershop is often its own employees.

Just as the saying goes, “the shoemaker’s children go barefoot,” it’s no secret that barbers often have the least time to take care of their own appearance. That’s precisely why paying attention to how the barbers present themselves is important. If their own haircuts look sharp—even though they were likely done in a rush—you can expect that they’ll create an even more polished look for you, given that they have more time to focus on your hair.

But it’s not just about the hair. There’s a common saying that you can judge a person at first glance by looking at their shoes. And while barbers spend their careers focused on people’s heads, this rule applies to them just as much—if not more! A high-quality barbershop can also be recognized by how well its barbers present themselves: clean and well-dressed, maintaining excellent personal (and oral) hygiene, having clean nails, and wearing a subtle cologne that doesn’t overpower the customer’s ability to relax and enjoy the experience. In short, the moment you step in, you should feel like you’re in truly skilled and hygienic hands.

Tip: One of the best signs of a truly professional barbershop is seeing the barbers cut and groom each other with the same level of care and attention that they give to their clients.
At our locations, this is a common practice, and we can assure you that our staff doesn’t rush through their own haircuts in short 15-minute breaks between customers. Instead, they book proper appointments with their colleagues—even when making small adjustments to their own style.
