While going to the barber shop I expect to be able to relax and reflect on my day while being pleasantly handled by a professional barber.

The atmosphere plays a huge role as it definitely improves the impression of a well made haircut. I view being offered / served a beverage as a must have, like alkohol, coffee or a glass of water. Tidyness is another huge factor, as being served a smelly towel can ruin the whole experience and discourage further visits. I strongly value the manly aspect of barber shops, therefore i prefer the staff to be predominantly male. The interior decoration, as well as the music and smell should be on par.

The more experience a barber has the better, I often find myself impressed by stylish haircuts some of the workers have, which leaves me with an impression of becoming a good looking haircut myself. I would prefer not to be cut by an intern, unless it is just about small adjustments.

The service offered shouls be for adult men only, as children would not fit into my ideal image of an manly experience. I expect to look good and feel good while being cut as well as after leaving the shop.

When searching for a new barber I direct myself to the website Booksy.com, as they have all the shops listed out together with helpful reviews of previous customets, which help me make the ultimate choice. Accesibility and a fair price also play an important role.

The majority of shops do not have their own website, which i don’t necessarily view as a downsite, although I would value a way to comfortably book a visit together with choosing my favourite barber and time.
