Welcome to the Future, Man

January 26, 2015 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Ho, friends! After much wailing and gnashing of teeth (not really, but we have been working on this for the last month solid), Beardsgaard is proud to unveil a new system for all of your everything at Beardsgaard.

Let us introduce MindBody Online. We call her Maeby.

MindBody

For everything from appointment scheduling to our online store to point of sale and everything that will help make this the smoothest operation you have ever seen (even as we are growing so fast), we have officially dumped Square and moved on to the future.

If you had an appointment in Square as of Sunday morning, you should have received a confirmation later that day of your new appointment from the new system.

Want to see how to manage all of your appointments and actually be able to get a chair spot in this crazy busy shop? It’s super easy from your computer as well as from your smartphone.

Join us in the awesomeness, won’t you?

In the header of our site you will find a tab for Shoppe & Bookings. Create your account with Facebook or your email. If you are an existing client, it may take up to 48 hours to link with the email we have on file for you (but it totally does that!).

While any appointments that were in the system at the time of the transfer were ported as-is, we have introduced a new, streamlined price menu which you can see in detail on the Appointments tab.

Keep reading for a walkthrough how to set up your account, first on a computer, then on your phone.

We totally have an app for that.

MB Connect

Rolling out this vast system that will be able to grow with us is bound to have a bit of turbulence. It is endlessly flexible, which means that if something weird happens, it is often a simple matter of checking a box to fix it.

But we depend on you to give us a heads up if the robots have been drinking or whatnot, so please call or email us with any questions and concerns along the way. Welcome to the future, Beardsgaardians.

Kindest Regards-01

About The Beardsgaards

The Beardsgaards are a pair of mom-and-pop barber nerds with a shared obsession with perfection. We built this old school barbershop to feel like home to everyone who enters beneath the Elvish script above our door. If we and the Gaardian army can give you a better handle on your grooming routine, all the better.

While we know it’s been months and everyone is looking a bit scruffy please be patient as we try and squeeze all the beard trims we can into the schedule. We’d also like to thank everyone who’s been diligent with keeping our shop a safe and healthy environment. 
If you’re already booked in the schedule we can’t guarantee we can add a beard trim to your service but we can definitely try booking you for a different time to get that beard in.

We were deeply saddened by the news of Christopher We were deeply saddened by the news of Christopher Tolkien passing a year ago, and still are to this day. Our love of his father and Lord of the Rings is ever present here at Beardsgaard. So tonight we, and hopefully the rest of you, will take a moment to remember one of the greatest authors of all time, his son, and the impact the Tolkien family has had on our lives. 
“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”
-J.R.R. Tolkien
While we appreciate all the self sufficient kids t While we appreciate all the self sufficient kids that come into the shop, we still need an adult with them to sign our liability waiver. We know it’s a bit of a pain but it’s really to appease Phydeoux the shop dragon. He has a hunger for children and waivers, and we’d rather feed him waivers.

Well hello to those with wild beards who heard whi Well hello to those with wild beards who heard whispers of moving out of Tier 3 Mitigation! Please pause, we're not there yet. 

This does not apply to the entire state of Illinois, only certain regions. As of now, we are still in Tier 3. We will announce when we have moved to Tier 2 on all of our social media channels as well as our email list, so sit tight until then!

Because knowledge is power, you also can go to http://dph.illinois.gov/regionmetrics?regionID=8 at any time and look at Region 8, which contains Kane County. As of this posting, we are not meeting the metric on hospital bed availability. 

We promise, we want to get everything under your mask looking and feeling great, but we cannot do that until it's safe. Thank you for understanding, and please keep an eye out here, on Instagram or sign up for our email list at the bottom of www.beardsgaardbarbers.com to get updates.
