Even though you mean well, there\u2019s a chance you\u2019re making things tough on your barber without even realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not being specific with what you want or telling the barber to surprise you with a haircut might not be as easy for them as it sounds. Whether you\u2019re going to a new barber or want to improve your relationship with your current stylist, it&#8217;s always a good idea to learn the unspoken rules of barbershop etiquette. Check out our guide below for a few simple rules to follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-1-wash-your-hair-and-face\"><strong>Rule 1: Wash Your Hair And Face<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a courtesy to your barber, prepare to come to your appointment with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-to-shampoo-like-a-pro\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=shampoo_pro&amp;utm_content=clean_hair\">clean hair<\/a>. Comb your locks so it&#8217;s not messy or knotted, wash off any product, and leave your hat at home. Coming in with products on your hair can alter its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/hair-textures\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=hair_textures&amp;utm_content=texture\">texture<\/a> and make it difficult for your barber to manage, potentially resulting in a haircut that doesn&#8217;t look great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-2-show-up-on-time\"><strong>Rule 2: Show Up on Time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arriving late, even by a couple of minutes, is not only disrespectful but can affect your barber&#8217;s schedule for the rest of the day. If for any reason you won&#8217;t be able to show up on time, let your barber know right away via phone call or text in case they need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=home&amp;utm_content=reschedule_your_appointment\">reschedule your appointment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-3-practice-patience\"><strong>Rule 3: Practice Patience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although barbers try their best to stick to a schedule, you may have to wait a few minutes for your appointment to officially begin. Whether that\u2019s the result of a late client before you or other circumstances, come prepared with reading materials or another activity to keep you occupied while you wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the appointment before yours is done, don\u2019t jump into the barber\u2019s chair until they tell you to do so, as they may need some time to clean up their station. Being patient and understanding that some styles may take longer to achieve is key to a positive relationship with your barber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut.jpg\" alt=\"customer getting scissor over comb haircut\" class=\"wp-image-7331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut-856x626.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut-1140x833.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut-1536x1122.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut-600x438.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/man-getting-haircut-1024x748.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-4-know-what-you-want\"><strong>Rule 4: Know What You Want<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve the best results, your barber will need to know exactly what you want. Asking for &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/short-hairstyles-men\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=short_hair_men&amp;utm_content=a_short_style\">a short style<\/a>&#8221; isn&#8217;t very clear, and you might end up with a haircut you don&#8217;t love. Bringing photos and learning some basic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/barber-terms\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=barber_terms&amp;utm_content=barber_terms\">barber terms<\/a> can help you better articulate what you want and make the process smoother. You should also bring up any concerns, like if you want a style that works with your receding hairline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-5-set-realistic-expectations\"><strong>Rule 5: Set Realistic Expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you have a haircut you really want in mind, it&#8217;s always good to set realistic expectations. Sometimes a certain haircut won&#8217;t work for your type of hair or a different style might fit your face shape better. If you find out that the haircut won\u2019t work for your hair, communicate with the barber and ask for suggestions. They might be able to show you some past customer photos of styles that would fit you better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-6-trust-your-barber-s-opinion\"><strong>Rule 6: Trust Your Barber\u2019s Opinion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the basic barber terms and describing the details of what you want doesn&#8217;t mean you should dictate the types of tools or methods they should use. The stylist will know what will work best to achieve the look you want, so there is no need for micromanaging their work. It&#8217;s also good to come with an open mind, since they may suggest a cut or style that you hadn&#8217;t thought of getting before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut.jpg\" alt=\"customer getting haircut with clippers\" class=\"wp-image-7332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut-856x626.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut-1140x833.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut-1536x1122.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut-600x438.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/customer-getting-haircut-1024x748.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-7-speak-up-early-on\"><strong>Rule 7: Speak Up Early On<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you shouldn&#8217;t be micromanaging your barber, be sure to pay attention if they start to cut off more than expected. If that happens, make sure to mention it right away so the barber will have enough time to fix it. Waiting until the end to speak up may take longer to fix and your barber may need to increase the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/mens-haircut-prices\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=mens_cut_prices&amp;utm_content=cost_of_your_cut\">cost of your cut<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-8-don-t-move-your-head\"><strong>Rule 8: Don\u2019t Move Your Head<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice your barber adjusting your head regularly, start to focus on staying as still as possible. Try to resist the urge to nod when making conversation, and don&#8217;t move around much. It&#8217;s best to keep your head still during your haircut to help your barber out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-9-don-t-text-or-talk-on-the-phone\"><strong>Rule 9: Don\u2019t Text or Talk on the Phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to nodding, moving your head to text or holding a phone up to your ear can make it more difficult for your barber to work. Try to avoid phone calls until after your appointment, since it&#8217;s a little rude to both the barber and others in the shop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer.jpg\" alt=\"barber speaking to customer\" class=\"wp-image-7334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer-856x626.jpg 856w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer-1140x833.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer-1536x1122.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer-600x438.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/barber-speaking-to-customer-1024x748.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-10-chat-a-little-with-your-barber\"><strong>Rule 10: Chat a Little With Your Barber<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making light conversation with your barber can be a good way to build a relationship with them and make the experience more enjoyable for both of you. Although some might consider going to the barbershop a social event, there is no need to keep chatting the whole time, but try to take a few minutes to chit chat and have a little fun. One way to show you\u2019re an active listener is to mention details your barber shared on your last visit as part of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rule-11-tip-well-and-tip-directly\"><strong>Rule 11: Tip Well and Tip Directly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Show your thanks by giving your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-much-to-tip-barber\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=how_tip_barber&amp;utm_content=barber_a_fair_tip\">barber a fair tip<\/a>. A good rule of thumb to follow is to tip at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/money\/budgeting-saving\/info-11-2012\/tipping-guidelines-and-etiquette.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">15-20 percent<\/a> of the final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/blog\/how-much-haircut\/?utm_source=wordpress&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=how_much_haircut&amp;utm_content=cost_of_your_haircut\">cost of your haircut<\/a>. Asking your barber how they prefer to receive their tip is also a way to show respect and appreciation for their work. Consider giving your barber the tip directly rather than to the receptionist for full transparency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The best way for clients to show their appreciation for their barber is by both respecting their time and being on time (even better earlier). Properly tipping is also important, especially if a barber has gone above and beyond to meet your expectations.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.styleseat.com\/m\/v\/vincentfillah\">Vince Fillah<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think you might\u2019ve been breaking some of these unspoken barbershop etiquette rules, don\u2019t stress. Barbers understand that there are no hard-and-fast rules and that things can vary by personal preference.
