Holiday PSA

December 5, 2014 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Hail, Beardsgaardians!

We are here today to help you navigate this season of family and work gatherings, events, and many, many photos without looking like a gnarly wildebeest.

Holiday Hours

Our shop is just about three months old and we have been a whirlwind of busy, even more than we can handle on the weekends and now through the holidays. Although help is coming soon (more barbers!), we have a few tips and procedures to ensure you can get in our chairs when you need to.

Read on!

Holiday PSA

We make this so easy.

  1. Click right HERE (and bookmark that link or just click Appointments at the top of this page).
  2. Choose your service and barber.
  3. Choose your date and time.
  4. Enter your name, phone, email, and any: notes/details you would like us to know/jokes o’ the day/whathaveyou (you get a confirmation and reminder email directly related to your appointment only, no spam, no marking, no weird e-cards, nothing. We promise). Please note that if for some reason you do not get a text or email confirmation, the appointment did not go through, so please call to follow up!
  5. Show up!

Square

But for real, that show up part is kind of important, especially in this, the most deliriously, magically exhausting season of the year for those of us who work in the service industry and on our feet.

If you cannot make it to your appointment, we beg you to please call the front desk at (630) 454 – 4820 as soon as you know that you have to cancel. It always makes us so sad when we tell a walk-in client that we cannot service him that day due to full books, and then one of our next bookings goes rogue and is unreachable as the minutes tick past.

We would have really liked to take some hair off of that dude. Just call if you would, and we would be forever grateful.

Speaking of calling, you can also call for an appointment! That way you get to talk to Colin the Shopkeep! He’s pretty cool, we guess. A little awkward, but it’s all part of his charm.

Max & Colin

We would also like to put out there that we always try our best to be on time, but when we are running late for you, you can be sure it’s because an earlier client showed up late. And you know, we never rush you nor the work we do.

When you are in the chair, you are the only person in the world to us.

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.

New pins from @thesearethings offer an aesthetic t New pins from @thesearethings offer an aesthetic that says “Kinda spooky, kinda sarcastic.” which is definitely a vibe Shopkeep Lucky Eye imbues. She’s already picked up a pin and is sporting it on her favorite jacket, can you guess which one she went with?
With several recent, very public examples of the c With several recent, very public examples of the continuation of police brutality in America, it's hard not to feel helpless. And frustrated. And tired. But just like actively being anti-racist isn't an option, neither is taking a break. There are countless grassroots organizations that are doing the difficult work of changing legislation, hearts and minds every day. Even when the big stories have faded, and the cameras have left. They don't stop when they're tired, because it's not an option. So what can you do?

First: donate to those tireless organizations that benefit people of color and marginalized individuals.
Second: outwardly show your solidarity.  Did our solidarity with Black Lives Matter lead to us losing clients, and aggression towards us as a business? Yes. Do we care about that? No. Because for every loud person that yelled at us for our BLM fist and pride flag in the window, there were people that saw it as a head nod that said, "We see you. We're with you."

People passed our shop and felt safe, and that feeling of home and safety is why Beardsgaard is the shop that it is. We will continue to show solidarity because at the end of the day, everyone deserves to have basic human rights. People deserve to be able to sleep in their own bed, walk down the street with a sandwich, talk on the phone to their mom, unlock their own front door, hold a bag of skittles, sit on a couch and eat ice cream… 

So while our Wear It For Good section has grown in the past year, all of our designs are still up and all the profits being donated to different charities and organizations.

All of our covid protocols are updated on our website so please read those before you book. We don’t like having to turn people away but it is necessary to ensure the safety of our staff and other clients.
When it comes to the potential of new guidelines being implemented we will post on social media as soon as we know what they are and they have been confirmed for our region. Fingers crossed that this spike is temporary and we’ll be back to getting those numbers down for summer!

Good luck and may the booking odds be ever in your favor.
