What’s New In November 2022

Booking System Changes

  • What is an “Apprentice”? An apprentice is a barber that is new to our business. Every barber that starts with us, regardless of experience, goes through training until they meet our standards. Apprentice barbers are not always barbers that are new to the industry, just new to us. The length of training varies but every barber goes through a minimum of 2-3 weeks of training before they are not considered an Apprentice anymore. Apprentice barbers are given more time and charge less than our normal pricing.

  • We put “Apprentice - Half Price” next to each barber apprentice’s name to better communicate to client’s that this barber is in training

  • We set up our system to show individual pricing next to each barber’s name to show that apprentice pricing is half of the normal price

  • We removed the “any available” option from the online booking process so that clients have to select a barber from now on to better communicate that this barber is new to us

  • Apprentice barbers are now listed under Classic and Premium services to simplify the booking process

  • We’ve eliminated cancellation & no-show fees. From now on, clients will be asked to make a deposit when booking online. If clients cancel or no-show, the deposit will be applied on their next visit.

    • Clients with memberships do not have to make a deposit

    • Clients that rebook their next appointment in-store will not have to make a deposit

    • Clients with gift cards can make a deposit with their gift card

New Services

  • We are testing doing barbering services for FREE in exchange for recording the videos for content to post on our YouTube channel, these services are not available to book online YET, but that’s coming soon ;)

  • Clients on our model call list will be the first to get an opportunity to get free or half-priced services for training or YouTube videos.

  • If you’d like to participate in this testing, apply to be a model here.

What’s Coming Soon

  • More alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options for clients

  • In January 2023, House of Shaves Barbershop will be going Cashless. We will only accept credit and debit cards, and contactless payments for services. For the safety of our team, we will not accept any cash for service or product purchases or keep any cash on the premises. Clients will still be able to tip their barber in cash.
