Holiday Shopping… It Begins

November 23, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Beardsgaard Barbers and River Peak Apothecary stock not only our house brand, but an entire world of fine men’s grooming products. And we never do sales. We’re barbers. It is what it is.

But this weekend is different.

Before the holiday season arrives in earnest, we have bundled some of our favorite products into covetable packs at great savings. Like an early present or something.

In shop, you can get all of the deals all day Friday and Saturday (because we’re closed Sundays and Mondays). On the webshoppe, each day of this holiday weekend will have a different set of deals, and we’re here to give you the low down on who you can knock off your holiday shopping list this weekend.

If you get all the way to the bottom of this post, you’ll find the code that will score you free shipping on everything (in the continental US).

All because we like you. A bunch. We promise not to make it weird.

Presenting Featured Artist Greg Padgett

October 11, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Having now done five rounds of featured artists on our walls, we’re gathering both quite the art collection and quite the T-shirt collection. Beginning next year we’re going to be implementing a bit of a twist on our local artist offerings, but right now, come explore the work of Greg Padgett.

From the Apothecary • Fine Art & Fine As Hell

March 24, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Brian Busch is a local artist and of late our resident shop artist, lending his hand to our River Peak Apothecary product label designs and our Retail Realm mural.

Brian Busch Work

Between his fine art and generally being fine as hell, he understandably has more than a few fanboys and girls who often note his general scent of dead sexy mahogany and motor oil.

The Adventures of Testee

February 12, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

We should probably explain ourselves.

People often ask us why this place has taken off as it has. The pace certainly has floored us, as has the amazing response from the community, but the why? We think it boils down to the giddy, unadulterated enthusiasm that we put into everything we do.

And dude, we mean everything.

Rufus Client Card

Some of our employees are convinced the shop is haunted, we named the poltergeist Rufus, we needed a way to pull product from retail inventory to backbar for use on clients, and then this happened. Makes perfect sense.

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.

Gollum Schedule Full

A delightful representation in form of an original Eagle Drawring

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…

Get Some Gloom in Your Room

July 30, 2015 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Do you like creepy creatures that touch an exquisitely weird part of your soul? Then you need some gloom in your room.

Gloomworld, that is.

IMG_2787_grande

Created by Nicholas Nickelby Johnson, who originally hails from St. Charles (although he lives in NW Indiana these days) his demented little dudes had captured our hearts and eyes years ago on Instagram.

So when he was one of the first to respond to our call for featured artists and we realized we had been fanboying out over each other for some time, we knew it was a perfect fit. Perfect for both the shop and Beardsgaard Manor, because Catch and Release barely made it on the wall before Natalie and Tyler bought it.

The Magic of Busch

June 3, 2015 By //  by The Beardsgaards

We are down to less than a month left to get your Brian Busch original art before the seasons change and with it our art corral, not to mention the next addition in our Threadless-lite T-shirt (and sticker) campaign around here.

We love it when our featured artists rotate their work in here, so that shop visitors have wonderful new selections to peruse each time they visit.

Calling All Artists

May 27, 2015 By //  by The Beardsgaards

If you have been in our shop this spring, you may have noticed the walls filling up with beautiful art and new T-shirts. That has been thanks to our Spring Featured Artist Brian Busch. He was the first to adorn the wall, and it was a fantastic way to start.

But spring is nearly over and with summer soon to begin, we look toward our next seasonal artist (and autumn, and winter, and so on). But who will these artists be?

Bertus in Et Tu Bertus Shirt

We aren’t sure yet, but it could be you! If you are a two-dimensional artist who has been looking for some wall space to call home and sell your work, we want to hear from you.
