What to Know When Getting a Haircut at a Barbershop for Men

Home / Men's Grooming / What to Know When Getting a Haircut at a Barbershop for Men

Getting your hair cut isn’t that big of a deal. Still, it’s important to find a great barbershop for men because your appearance depends on it. Plus, going to the right one can actually be a lot of fun.

You see, there’s a special culture around men’s barbershops, even in your area. Etiquette is essential and the service costs don’t always reflect the price you pay. So, here’s what you need to know before booking your first appointment. Welcome to the club.

Barbershop VS salon

First things first, let’s go over the difference between a barbershop and a salon. A salon is usually where women get their hair done while a barbershop is typically for men. The reason for the distinction is because men’s hairstyles and women’s hairstyles require completely different skills and tools.

The cost of your favorite barbershop hairstyle can vary depending on several factors. Your starting point plays a major role, but the complexity of the cut you want matters as well. That means you should be prepared for a range of price quotes.

On average, American men spend about $28 per haircut. That’s nearly half of what the average woman pays, which is over $40. So, you can look great while saving some money if you’re a guy who goes to the right barbershop. 

How do men behave at the barbershop?

Men act with manners and respect at their local barbershops because they share the space with friends and neighbors. They also talk to their barber before, during, and after the haircut or beard trim. Here are three of the most common things they say:

  • How long it’s been since they had their last haircut
  • Facts about their lifestyle and daily routine
  • Details about their favorite hairstyles 

Most clients also bring a recent photo of themselves and/or a picture of the cut they want. Then, they discuss the style possibilities before sitting down in the chair. Finally, men sit still and listen to their barber’s instructions to get the best possible service.

What’s the best barbershop for men near me?

You don’t want to book an appointment with just any barbershop in your city. They’re all a little different which means they can’t all do the same things. So, find what you’re looking for based on pre-set criteria if you can. 

Then, start searching online for the best barbershops nearby. You can go to The Cut or Booksy for updated info on local pros. Check out a few profiles to find someone who can do what you need. Afterward, book an appointment or pay for your services in advance to secure a spot.

How to get more bang for your barber buck

Save some time and money on your haircut with these three simple tricks:

  • Have a style example ready to share. That helps cut back on the time it takes to pick out a look.
  • Keep yourself clean and bare because your barber needs access to fresh skin and scalps.
  • Show the barber that you care. In other words, tip big and you might get a discount on services later.

For more information on the haircutting experts in your area, call them up and ask as many questions as you can.
