Blademaiden Cuts a Pompadour {Livestream}

May 18, 2018 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

The folks on YouTube have been asking for more haircut videos, and that gets tough when you’re open 6 days a week. There’s Sunday, but that’s the day everything ELSE gets scheduled into. So when Blademaiden realized she had one of her favorite heads in the chair, we did a livestream!

It was a bit impromptu, forgive the sound quality. We’ll get better at this “live” thing.

Tricky Tricks for Barbers • Pointy Mustaches {Video}

January 5, 2018 By //  by The Beardsgaards 1 Comment

Barber demo videos are great, but what about when you encounter some hair that doesn’t fit the mold? In this series, the barbers of Beardsgaard are going to show you some tricky tricks for barbers to make your life behind the chair a little easier.

Mustaches come in all shapes and sizes, but most are pretty easy to shape up. But what about those pointy ones that grow STRAIGHT OUT? Those types are pretty pokey to be on the other end of (just ask our shop manager/model’s wife).

But for barbers, cut it too long and it gets awkwardly pointy again real quick, but take off the slightest bit too much in the wrong place, and this crazy unforgiving mustache hair is going to look like it’s missing a chunk. So let’s make Vinc’s lovely wife a happy lady.

Tricky Tricks for Barbers • Cowlicks & Patches {Video}

October 30, 2017 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Barber demo videos are great, but what about when you encounter some hair that doesn’t fit the mold? In this series, the barbers of Beardsgaard are going to show you some tricky tricks for barbers to make your life behind the chair a little easier.

Big, full beards are great to work on, but what about a patchy beard that changes density, texture and direction all over the damn place? Alex, one of our barbers, has just such a beard. He’s never going to have the face of a mountain man, but we can keep it well-shaped, respectable, and keep it within its appointed bounds.

How to ReWhip Melted Beard Butter {Video}

August 18, 2017 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Our beard butter is made with just butters and oils, and is a dreamy, creamy treat for your beard (or skin, great as a body butter too).

But without the beeswax that balms contain, it is rather heat sensitive. Depending on the climate or time of year, we cannot guarantee your beard butter will arrive unmelted.

But rather than cut off shipping of this product during the summer months, as some companies do, we’ll just show you how to bring a melted jar back to life!

Blademaiden Gets All Up In Shawnee National Forest {Video}

February 2, 2017 By //  by Natalie the Blademaiden

Running two businesses, it is rare that the Beardsgaards get to actually GO anywhere. And they still didn’t.

This time it was just Blademaiden off on her first long-distance Scumbassador training run to southern Illinois, where there are lots of large, unpeopled stretches. And Shawnee National Forest. And Garden of the Gods. And a cabin in the woods. By herself. For two days. Come along on a very dorky adventure. There’s a hot tub.

 

And a whole video of the expedition at the bottom of this post. Read on!

Closed for the 9/14 Walken Wednesday (for Scummy Reasons!)

September 9, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

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

Ho, Gaardians!

We’re going to be closed this upcoming Walken Wednesday (9/14) for a pretty exciting reason. The entire crew will be taking part in a hands-on cutting class as part of the Reuzel Quest for Clipper Carnage tour.

reuzel-schorem-leen-bertus

Blademaiden recently got to partake in 5 days of training with the Reuzel and Schorem crew as part of her training to become one of the first Scumbassadors, and is beyond thrilled to drag the entire Beardsgaard team to learn from Leen and Bertus themselves at this training.

There will be hugs.

Calling for Scumbags With Hair

August 22, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

As a Scumbassador-led barbershop, Beardsgaard is serious about education.

Leen and Bertus of Schorem Haarsnijder En Barbier and Reuzel Pomade are going to be making the rounds in the states in September putting on the Quest for Clipper Carnage educational tour, and you had better believe we’re going to be there.

20160723-Scumbassadors Tour-Day 2-015

They will be spending two days spreading the lard’s gospel in Chicago, September 13th and 14th, and we’re going to be there both days. The 13th is an evening demo, but for the 14th, we’re going to need some heads, because your barbers are going to be cutting and learning from the masters at the same time.

If you want a free haircut, overseen by some of the best damn barbers in the world, we need you – or four of you, as the case may be. But there are some serious criteria to fulfill.

Scumbassadors Tour 2016

August 22, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards

Hey, remember a while back when we mentioned that Blademaiden was going to be out of the shop for training? Yep, so that totally happened, and it was fucking epic.

20160722-Scumbassadors Tour-Day 1-005

And as far as the population of Chicago now knows (in certain pockets), this group of trainees were not a bunch of hopeful Reuzel Pomade educators, they were a band that happened to be called the #Scumbassadors.

They also sorta stole a limo. Sorta. You’re really going to need to keep reading, because there’s a sizable photo gallery…

The Finer Points • The Safety Razor {Video}

August 3, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

We love the history of barbering as much as we love barbering itself. Take a little trip through the safety razor history books and learn a bit about the basics behind owning and operating one of these beautiful bad boys.

Blademaiden of Beardsgaard’s Scumbassador Submission {Video}

June 4, 2016 By //  by The Beardsgaards Leave a Comment

Somehow we have never gotten around to producing a full-on haircut and/or beard demo on film. But when the scumbags of Schorem and Reuzel put out a call for potential Scumbassador educators, we knew the time had come.

Let us present: an Executive Contour haircut and huge fucking beard. There may also be dragons. {Update: totally made it. Say hello to one of the first Reuzel Scumbassadors}
