18 Things Your Barber Wants You to Know

About this video

The Gazette team interviews professional barbers to compile 18 essential things clients should know before getting a haircut. They cover practical etiquette like showing up for appointments and communicating your desired style, as well as behavioral expectations such as staying still in the chair, avoiding distracting conversations, and respecting the barber’s expertise throughout the service.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team emphasizes that barbers rely on appointment slots for income since most rent their chairs, making cancellations without notice financially damaging to their livelihoods
• The Gazette team argues that clients should arrive with clean hair, avoid hat hair and sticky drugstore products, and know what haircut they want before sitting in the chair
• The Gazette team recommends staying still during the cut, trusting your barber’s expertise, avoiding last-minute requests that require redoing work, and paying with quick-access methods like cash or Venmo with at least 10% tip
