Welcome Home, Nerds
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.

Most of the time, a client’s requests of a barber are simple. “Just, shorter” is a direction we hear a lot. But in Bob’s case, he emailed us in advance about something a bit more…dramatic.
Not that the cut was dramatic – it was clean, easy and rather simple, but with an eye toward the specifics of a role in the play The Explorer’s Club.
“The Explorers Club is a wacky farce, replete with overwrought English accents, topcoats, mustaches and a setting that has one foot in the gentleman’s club and another in the outer jungles of Borneo” – The Chicago Tribune

Dutch was yearning for the mountains again, so he moved back out to the west coast to do those things he do. But before he went, he wanted to make a big change. A head shave big change. And he didn’t want to do it alone. So Beardsmith took the plunge with him.

While both of the Beardsgaards trained under some flat top masters, Beardsmith doesn’t have to get up on his toes to get all the right angles. Watch him square things up.

The faces of Beardsgaard series takes you inside the story and the world of each of our products ~ our real live regular clients, cut by the Beardsgaard barbers, groomed by River Peak Apothecary, and on location, often just off the beaten path. Journey to our realm, nerds.

We often say that Beardsgaard is the D&D game to River Peak’s LARP tournament, and that is demonstrated nowhere as fully as these fantastical photo shoots we do sometimes.
So while everything is magical and polished over at River Peak Apothecary, at Beardsgaard we get down and, in many cases, pretty dirty. Or at least Blademaiden did this time, skittering up trees and tossing herself in the dirt at every opportunity to get the good angles with the camera.

When we set out to bring the inspiration behind Hearthstone to life, (our autumn beard oil from the house-made line of Beardsgaard) we knew we were setting off on an adventure the likes we have never undertaken before.

Peaky Blinders is a visual masterpiece of a TV show set in Birmingham, England in 1919, one of the always stellar Netflix Originals. The Blinders are a bunch of war vets turned sort of businessmen but mostly gangsters who get their name from their habit of sewing razor blades into their hat brims for easy blinding in a fight. Which they get in often.
The haircuts have become a bit of a thing lately, because they’re both tough and classic, sharp and low maintenance, easy going and aggressive. A few are more refined, but still easy as can be to wear. Explore the world of unauthorized Blinder hair, cut and photographed by superfans.
Industrie Online is a hair industry online magazine (as the name would imply) that does some truly inspired work. They are also good friends of the shop. So when they came to us for Peaky Blinders haircut photos for a story, a hell of a ball started rolling, and it hit the bottom of the hill within one week, crashing into 12 models, 6 characters and 36 photos at the bottom.

Our Heroes for Mason event is over, and we are proud to announce that we raised over $1,500 toward Mason’s medical costs, and even more was contributed to the family’s Go Fund Me page (which you can still do!)
some of them even brought plastic fire hats
Between the food and games, raffle tickets, and a lot of money raised to see one of our employees get a pie to the face (read to the end of the post to see which one), it was amazing to see the whole town come out to help.

When you donate to charities, those charities take money to run and advertise for further funding. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, they do a ton of good because they get the word out.
But if you want to make a difference for one single person, one kid in a direct and powerful way, a fundraiser like this is the way to do it, because all proceeds are going directly to the medical care of a local 8-year-old with DIPG, name of Mason.
And it all starts with some haircuts. And proceeds to superheroes and prizes and so much more. And it’s happening at Beardsgaard today from 12-3 pm.
