Holiday Scheduling Madness

November 20, 2015 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Hello again Gaardians!

You may have noticed in searching to book an appointment online that we look as if we are functionally full up (short of a couple of scattered 10 minute slots, cancellations and Walken Wednesdays*) through December 29th.

DECEMBER 29th. What is that. We can’t even. Flabbergasted are we.

You Like Me

We mean yes, people like our haircuts and stuff, but the biggest reason we’re so full is just math: 3 barbers, 6 hands, over 4000 clients through our doors in the last 14 months, scores of them regulars. We are both indescribably grateful and so, so sorry.

But if you were thinking you couldn’t get in before Christmas, you were happily mistaken! Read on for all the good news and the shop schedule all the way up through February…

Man in Black on a White Horse

Having a barber who is also a touring musician means we can’t book Erik out quite as far as the Beardsgaards, only up to his confirmed show schedules. Because if a tour gets scheduled we can’t even cancel his book, there’s nowhere to reschedule anybody.

But on the flip side, when all else books up and all seems lost, in rides Zodiac to the rescue with a flood of December availability. As of now, we have some wide open swaths of book in December (although Beardsmith and Blademaiden are full up). Until…

The Beardsgaards Take a Beat

January! The Beardsgaards have finally listened to everyone’s urging to take a vacation for the first time in their relationship. Or the last nearly 15 years. So yes, it’s time.

Jamaica 2002, the last time Blademaiden took a vacation. Perhaps this time we will also meet nice feral kittens.

Because Erik and No Zodiac will be on tour for the entirety of January and part of February, we thought a week in January would be an excellent time to close up shop for a minute. Therefore, we will be closed for a whole week January 12th through the 16th, but the rest of the month is now officially open for scheduling.

Holiday Happenings

That’s a lot of dates scattered about there, and more we haven’t even mentioned yet. For the next few months we have a few closed days, closed early days, tour dates, dates Natalie and Tyler’s availability will be opened up for future months, one notable closed Walken Wednesday*, and the long-awaited shave classes (tickets now available for sale)! Mark your calendars folks, these are the pertinents.

*Walken Wednesdays are no more as of November 2016, because we now have daily walk-ins!

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.

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

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.
