One of the biggest reasons to choose a barbershop over a salon is that barbers specialize in men’s hairstyles. To achieve top-quality results, the person completing the cut needs in-depth knowledge of the techniques involved. A barber’s main focus is men’s styles, and their training ensures you leave looking dapper.
Cosmetologists and barbers also differ in the tools they use. At a salon, the stylists are trained to cut hair with scissors. While this is very useful for longer styles, it doesn’t provide the crisp finish needed for most men’s haircuts. Fortunately, barbers learn to cut with hair clippers, which yield precise edges.
Barber Shops also offer a variety of grooming services that cater to the needs of men specifically. Such services include close shaves, beard maintenance, and mustache grooming. Most salons don’t offer these services, so by choosing a barbershop for your haircut, you can get all of your grooming needs met in one convenient appointment. 4.
In addition to getting your haircut, grooming or maintenance. Men also go to see barbershops for therapy. The barbershop in any community has historically been a safe, nonjudgmental space for men to talk about anything—sports, politics, religion, women, manhood. The 90-minute conversations about mental health, called Beyond the Shop, are an opportunity to deepen sharing that is already happening.
Most salons will only have basic styling products, such as shampoos and gels. If you’re after a high quality hair product to use, you could be out of luck.Many barbershops carry specialty men’s hair products, like pomades and mousses. Best of all, the barbers will be able to help you decide which product you should get.
The first step is, of course, to find yourself a barber. If you are like most men (and how I started off), you might just head off to whatever shop is nearest and does not necessarily require an appointment. But those types of shops usually come and go and don’t really do a professional job.
The second option would be asking people you trust, and you have seen how their
haircuts look over time – odds are, if you like how there’s consistently look, they have a
barber you may want to check out.
The final option would be starting with the Internet – review sites such as Yelp or Google
that can help you to narrow down the likely candidates.
