Appointments preferred

Have you ever walked in to a barbershop/salon and can't even find a seat? That is the most frustrating feeling in the world. You feel like screaming at the top of your lungs but that will only make you look like an idiot.

Have you ever wondered if an appointment would be the next best thing for you? Here at American Shave we gladly except walk-ins but appointments are preferred. Here's why. Having a set schedule allows the client to have his time in the chair at the barbers 100% attention. This may seem unfair for non appointment clients but in fact it justifies quality versus quantity.

Appointments lead to a much happier experience and you won't feel rushed or "squeezed" in. The barber or stylist has the ability to prep for a future client in advance allowing him to execute the perfect strategy for the final product. Barbers/stylists work smoother and retain a much better composition knowing who will be sitting in their chair next.

As per the clients expectations, he or she is attended within a reasonable time and the waiting game is to a minimum, if any. Also you will walk into a comfortable waiting area instead of a hostile, congested waiting lounge where everyone is jumping to be taken care of next. Avoid the "I was here first" mumbo jumbo and accommodate yourself with a time slot that works in accordance to your life style.

If your shop doesn't work with appointments, suggest they do. Break down the pro's of having a schedule to work with and how clients appreciate it and In return the shop works more efficiently. In today's hustle and bustle running on time means being able to control your daily commitments, don't let someone else manage your day. Make an appointment!
