Hiring One Full-Time Barber
Beardsgaard is on the hunt for the barber who shall helm the 5th and final chair of this destination barbershop in the Shire of the Middle West. The shop is more booked than we can handle even during this late summer “slow” season, and the winter holidays are coming! With it…wildlings. Worry not, there are swords hidden all over this place.
Please note that while plenty of cosmetologists can cut the classics just like barbers, if you are a cosmetologist, you must additionally hold a valid Illinois barber’s license to cut at Beardsgaard, as the majority of our services require razor work beyond the neck.
