    How to choose a barber shop near Belmont Cragin

    Do

  • Say how much to take off in inches and bring a photo of the fade or line-up you want.
  • Book ahead and note the cancellation window when you do.
  • Read the newest reviews, not only the average. They describe the team working there now.
  • Check today's hours on the business's Google listing before you set off; holiday hours change.
  • Don't

  • Don't assume walk-ins are welcome; call or book first.
  • Don't hold back allergies, medications or skin sensitivities at check-in.
  • Don't choose on stars alone. A 4.7 from 900 reviews and a 5.0 from 12 reviews are different kinds of evidence.
  • Follow

  • Book your next line-up before you leave; most cuts are kept sharp at two to four weeks.
  • Tip 15 to 20 percent where tipping is customary, and check whether the business includes service charges.
  • Keep any written aftercare you are given and follow it for the full period.
  • How these 10 were chosen
