If it’s your first time visiting a barbershop, then you’re going to have some questions. The first thing you need is a brief lesson on etiquette. You should always arrive on time for your appointment and come with clean hair. Don’t sit on your phone; pay attention to his questions. You’re going to have a great time.
First off, your barber will ask what kind of hairstyle you desire and if you need a beard trim or shave. Depending on your answer, you will then proceed to the haircut of your choice. Don’t be surprised if your barber makes small talk about anything from sports to your daily life. That’s the real benefit of going to the barbershop- they’re friendly and so are the other people waiting to get their hair cut. They want to get to know you, build a community, and have some fun all while you’re getting a trim.
Once you’re all finished, your barber might make some recommendations for next time, offer to sell you some products that will help, and more. You should always tip your barber and you see when they have an opening for your next cut.
