Hair & Cuts

Blademaiden Cuts a Pompadour {Livestream}

May 18, 2018 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

The folks on YouTube have been asking for more haircut videos, and that gets tough when you’re open 6 days a week. There’s Sunday, but that’s the day everything ELSE gets scheduled into. So when Blademaiden realized she had one of her favorite heads in the chair, we did a livestream!

It was a bit impromptu, forgive the sound quality. We’ll get better at this “live” thing.

A Theatrical Cut

May 10, 2018 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Most of the time, a client’s requests of a barber are simple. “Just, shorter” is a direction we hear a lot. But in Bob’s case, he emailed us in advance about something a bit more…dramatic.

Not that the cut was dramatic – it was clean, easy and rather simple, but with an eye toward the specifics of a role in the play The Explorer’s Club.

“The Explorers Club is a wacky farce, replete with overwrought English accents, topcoats, mustaches and a setting that has one foot in the gentleman’s club and another in the outer jungles of Borneo” – The Chicago Tribune

Goin Bald with Dutch & The Beardsmith {Livestream}

March 17, 2018 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Dutch was yearning for the mountains again, so he moved back out to the west coast to do those things he do. But before he went, he wanted to make a big change. A head shave big change. And he didn’t want to do it alone. So Beardsmith took the plunge with him.

Beardsmith Cuts a Flat Top {Video}

February 1, 2018 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

While both of the Beardsgaards trained under some flat top masters, Beardsmith doesn’t have to get up on his toes to get all the right angles. Watch him square things up.

The Faces of Beardsgaard • Spiritbrook IRL {Video}

July 23, 2017 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

The faces of Beardsgaard series takes you inside the story and the world of each of our products ~ our real live regular clients, cut by the Beardsgaard barbers, groomed by River Peak Apothecary, and on location, often just off the beaten path. Journey to our realm, nerds.

Photos: Left: Natalie Anderson / Right: Jim Richards

We often say that Beardsgaard is the D&D game to River Peak’s LARP tournament, and that is demonstrated nowhere as fully as these fantastical photo shoots we do sometimes.

So while everything is magical and polished over at River Peak Apothecary, at Beardsgaard we get down and, in many cases, pretty dirty. Or at least Blademaiden did this time, skittering up trees and tossing herself in the dirt at every opportunity to get the good angles with the camera.

Let us tell you the rest of the story, and get to the bottom of the post for the full video.

The Faces of Beardsgaard • Fjordmist IRL

The faces of Beardsgaard series takes you inside the story and the world of each of our products ~ our real live regular clients, cut by the Beardsgaard barbers, groomed by River Peak Apothecary, and on location, often  just off the beaten path. Journey to our realm, nerds.

We often say that Beardsgaard is the D&D game to River Peak’s LARP tournament, and that is demonstrated nowhere as fully as these fantastical photo shoots we do sometimes.

So while everything is magical and polished over at River Peak Apothecary, at Beardsgaard we get down and, in this case, literally really dirty, tromping around the woods before the sun was even all the way up, because we’re crazy people, we guess.

The Faces of Beardsgaard • Frostwood IRL {Video}

March 2, 2017 By //  by The Beardsgaards

 The faces of Beardsgaard series takes you inside the story and the world of each of our products ~ our real live regular clients, cut by the Beardsgaard barbers, groomed by River Peak Apothecary, on location, dressed by stellar clothing brands or fashionably cosplayed. Journey to our realm, nerds.
Real life on the left, full- fantasy on the right

We often say that Beardsgaard is the D&D game to River Peak’s LARP tournament, and that is demonstrated nowehere as fully as these fantastical photo shoots we do sometimes. Usually it’s just Blademaiden, sometimes Beardsmith helping, and one of our clients in front of the camera. Sometimes on location. Once with a horse and horse wrangler.

This time we brought a mini crew, Shopkeep Vinc video documenting, upstairs neighbor Jimmy taking his own photo set on his giant, fancy Mamiya RZ67 ProII (his photos are the on-location images featured in this post, check out more about him at the bottom of the post), and Blademaiden trying to capture on film the written mythology of Frostwood (which you can descend into right here.)

We began the mythological photo shoots with autumn and Hearthstone, but when we set out to bring the inspiration behind Frostwood to life, (our winter beard oil from the house-made line of Beardsgaard), everything seemed to be conspiring against us. Let us tell you the rest of the story.

Before & After Scumpadour {Video}

October 19, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

There’s only so much a barber can do when a client wants it short of the side, AND short on top. That’s usually the most basic of basic dudes haircut. Unless, that is, you want to get scummy.

This is the Scumpadour, or as it’s inventor, Schorem calls it, “what happens when you put a Pompadour, a Flattop and a Quiff in a room and let them get busy. And it’s a thing we really like cutting.

By the Hair of the Peaky Blinders

August 10, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Peaky Blinders is a visual masterpiece of a TV show set in Birmingham, England in 1919, one of the always stellar Netflix Originals. The Blinders are a bunch of war vets turned sort of businessmen but mostly gangsters who get their name from their habit of sewing razor blades into their hat brims for easy blinding in a fight. Which they get in often.

The haircuts have become a bit of a thing lately, because they’re both tough and classic, sharp and low maintenance, easy going and aggressive. A few are more refined, but still easy as can be to wear. Explore the world of unauthorized Blinder hair, cut and photographed by superfans.


Industrie Online is a hair industry online magazine (as the name would imply) that does some truly inspired work. They are also good friends of the shop. So when they came to us for Peaky Blinders haircut photos for a story, a hell of a ball started rolling, and it hit the bottom of the hill within one week, crashing into 12 models, 6 characters and 36 photos at the bottom.
