Beardsgaard Barbers

I’ve now gotten my haircut by Erik and Tyler who both did a great job of blending in the sides as well as cutting the top perfectly. Go check them out you will not be disappointed!

Arrived to groom my bearded… Tyler tamed my Karl Marx mug! He is a professional. Others would’ve just been grazing the surface as if pruning a «Chia pet». Tyler was mindful about my direction & trimmed it like the beast it was. Looks good & feels great!

Where does one begin with the amount of in-​competencies that embody this place? First and foremost, I was a devoted client, receiving haircuts 1x month since they were a small operation. As their business grew they have inevitably inherited a significant amount of ugly stretch marks that rear their ugly faces when you attempt to use their services.
* Customer Service: An absolute mess. Try scheduling a haircut. Would you like a haircut three months from now? Because 3 months apart is the only open available dates they’ll offer you to schedule. Not to worry, maybe you can jump to a Great Clips in between your irregular appointments with Beardsgaard. OR, maybe you’ll try their «Walk-​In Wednesdays»…
* Walk Ins: Non-​existent. Sure, they tote they have a Walk-​In Wednesday. But when you walk-​in and find the only free floating, non-​scheduled employee spends an hour and a half on one haircut trying to build her clientele, you’ll quickly realize their walk-​in Wednesday are there to appease those who cannot get scheduled out for three months. Good luck, you’ll get through reading and memorizing every word of War and Peace quicker than you will a haircut with a walk-​in…
* Business Acumen: As any good business, their end goal should be to offer a service, build and maintain a client base through customer service and lastly turn a profit to keep all of the above afloat. If Beardsgaard is truly in the business of being in business, they’d quickly summarize that they’ve outgrown their current model. Rather than spending their net-​profits on non-​value added items such as; a wall mural, a pet lizard and Comic Book Memorabilia, one would think to serve clients and continuation of growth would be investments into additional square footage and stylists. If step one of the process (offer a service) is a struggle to completed, then the rest fails… as is with the current state of Beardsgaard.
Net-​Net: Suggestively take your business elsewhere, where you will be served, accommodated and likely scheduled and back within a month. If you prefer waiting 3 months between cuts with poor customer service, then continue on your tree-​cutting ways Lumber Jack…

Inadequate. Not them, my facial hair.
In my 20’s I could grow a mustache. maybe not a magnificent one. but a mustache nonetheless. But the beard thing. it just wasn’t happening.
I decided then I like being clean shaven.
Recently, we went on vacation and I let it grow for a few days. and my lovely wife says. «I like it, you should let it grow for a while, see how it looks. that is, if you want to»
So, I’m thinking if she likes it. that good enough for me.
Problem is. I don’t know what to do with a beard. And I’m miserable. it itches. and did anyone ever tell you that it tickles when the wind blows through it? It’s weird.
So, a friend told me that I should try Beadrsgaard, because they would shape the beard to best fit my face and tell me how to maintain it. I let it get scruffy so they had something to work with.
I had Eric the first time and he didn’t really make a lot of changes to my hair or my beard. he trimmed everything up and I seriously ended up with a great haircut and a straight razor finished beard. Good enough that when Lisa said «that looks great» I did some selfies so that I could show, rather than tell what I wanted.
I had to ask Eric questions about stuff, so my learning experience was limited to what I could think to ask.
Pick up some balm (really helped with the itching) and some ideas on how to trim between appointments.
This place is really busy and they got some rules. There were no appointments available, I decided to brave «walk in Wednesday» (I was told that I could wait an hour or two) and I got in right away. (woohoo!) $ 30 bucks and I walked out happy
The place is cool, old fashioned barbershop with a decidedly hipster vibe… Oh, and there’s a cool dog around sometimes. who doesn’t like a dog lover?
I was happy enough (4 – 5 * worth) that I went back in another month for a redo. I had an appointment this time, went back to Eric (because I like him) and asked for a clipper and shear cut and a straight razor beard trim. (Showed the picture!)
Not so happy this time, everything was rushed. the hair was a bit off and I’m not sure that I got the Straight Razor Beard Trim. (they use a straight razor all the time) The cashier asked me if the straight razor ever touched my neck… I walked out with the vague sense that I had really overpaid for what I got this time. ($ 35.00)
Lisa said it wasn’t as good as before.
I’m probably not going to make the trek over here again (kind of a shame)
I recently had a cut and trim at another establishment. quite a bit less money and my wife said the cut is much better than the last one.

Amanda did an amazing job sculpting my beard.
Tyler thanks for the perfect hair cut.
Walk in Wednesday was worth the wait for the first time. I think I’ll try to keep a regular appointment from now on…

Happened to catch a rare cancellation on a Saturday. While my beard cut is one of the best I’ve ever had, my haircut was not at all what I wanted. I told my barber (can’t remember his name) I work outside and like my hair long to help keep my neck and ears warm — scarves & balaclavas are not an option — and that I don’t like to put product in my hair. I wound up walking out of there looking like I walked out of 1939 — with Mil-​Spec edges and a 4 inch top that only looks good with a handful of pomade plastering it in place. If his goal was to give this 46 year old a hipster look — he succeeded!
TL, DR: Great on beard, not-​so-​much on the haircut

Went here to have my beard cut for the very first time since I started growing it. Not only did I find it super easy to go online and get an appointment, but once arriving I was shocked by the efficiency that this shop runs. Everything was timed perfectly to the minute. From my wait to my trim. Eric did an epic job shaping and trimming my beard as well as giving me some great tips on maintaining my beard. There was a large selection of products for styling and maintaining facial hair and I picked up a few items for myself on the way out. I found the barbers very professional, knowledgeable, and extremely affordable. I can’t recommend this shop enough. I’ll be back often.

This was truly an awesome experience. I went for one of their walk in Wednesday’s just because right now through the holidays it’s my easy to get a standard appointment, but I see why.
The atheist here is very eclectic and charming. It’s a very warm and welcoming place with a bearded dragon in in cage in the front, but one of the barbers doggies running around and greeting every single guest.
I was there about 20 minutes before they opened and was 9^th in line already. I am pretty sure if you want to be first on Wednesdays you have to be there at least 45 minutes early. The wait wasn’t bad for the work they do at all. And because the atmosphere is so welcoming you really don’t notice it much. (Bring something to keep you occupied)
I had Tyler and he was amazing. He related to me right when I sat down and was able to connect right away. No awkwardness you get at the normal hair place you pay 12 dollars for. I sat down. Told him what I was looking to do and he just went about his business; which is the way I like it.
Let’s just say I will be bask. I did make an appointment for the 29^th (first available into the new year) but will probably go back for a line up in between. Love love love this place!

What can I say? Picasso uses an easel and brush, Tyler uses a comb and scissors. I’ve only been here 3 – 4 times because they’re so far away (I live close to the city). I have what some have called a magnificent or epic beard and if it isn’t trimmed right or properly cared for, it wouldn’t be magnificent… or epic. Tyler does it right as well as the haircut. I always look 100% better after leaving that place. The atmosphere of this place is like walking back in time 50 – 60 years. I’m not that old but I’ve seen old movies. The ambience and charm of this place is 2^nd to none. Tyler will educate you on hair and beard care and quite frankly, that is priceless information especially in our busy day to day lives. Great products too. Get the beard oil and use it! That stuff does wonders! Oh sure I go to other barbers who are a few minutes down the street from work in the big city but when I’m due for a beard trim or haircut, I’ll always check to see if I can fit the hour long drive one way into making a visit to Beardsgaard Barbers. They’re usually booked 1 – 2 weeks in advance so book early. That fact alone should tell you how high a quality service it is that they offer.

Really unique and beyond awesome place. If you have a beard or just need a haircut this place is a must! Brilliant! I say brilliant!

I got to say that I really enjoyed my experience here.
I’ve had facial hair forever now. I never had anyone tell me how to grow it right. I know it seems weird, it felt weird to even type that. Facial hair grows if you don’t shave it. But it doesn’t always grow well.
I started off with a goatee when I was in my 20’s. I have one of those faces that without facial hair I look like a scary teenager. Facial hair gave me a way to end that. I didn’t know the first thing about how to shave it or when.
Now I have a full beard, and need to trim it down every few weeks because it starts to looks unmanaged. But I see a lot of people that have great long beards.
Tyler took the time to help explain things like my neck line. Also, how to care for the beard. I get some Beard dandruff. He walked me through what to do to stop it. What’s the difference between balm and oil? Tyler helped me with that.
They have tons of products for beard and head. Tyler didn’t try to sell me anything, I had to ask him to help me figure out what products to buy.
It’s an awesome experience, they really do a great job!!! It was cheaper than what I signed up for cause I didn’t need as much. Who does that? They do.

Great location with lots of parking. The owners know their stuff. I got a fantastic cut the first time in. But the quality has ebbed. Not sure if I’m not «hip» enough or my tip isn’t large enough. Does the quality of my beard and haircut balance on my personality? LOVE the puppies running around and the kids who play in the back while we get our haircut. It has a real laid back feel. Representative of the owners. Also comfy seats, cool art but overall not a comfortable conversation barber. Am I saying its a place for posers?

I’ve always been one to just groom myself, but my recent decision to let it all grow out paired with some upcoming job interviews left me a little on the scruffy side and unsure on how to handle it. Enter Beardsgaard Barbers.
I had an easy time signing up online on short notice and booked an appointment with Erik. I came in, told him what I wanted, and he went to work while we chatted. The shop is awesome, with lots of old-​school barber stuff and a ton of stuff that will bring any 80’s kid down memory lane.
After getting a trim and shaping, we checked out the beard balms. The self-​described candy store had an offering of products from balms, oils, soaps, and waxes to t-​shirts, magnets, and stickers. It was overwhelming in the greatest way and I wanted to try everything. Just like being in a candy store.
I ended up with a few balms: the pirate (on Erik’s suggestion), the gentleman (on the suggestion of my love of smoke and whiskey), and Odin (on the suggestion that it makes you smell like a viking). Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to try the pirate or the gentleman yet, because I absolutely love this Odin scent!
Overall an awesome experience and I will be back when the beardsignal goes off!

Great place first time having my beard trimmed had an amazing experience can’t wait to go back again. They also had a great selection of beard and mustache products.
The shop is very nicely setup with seating across from the vintage barber chairs. can’t wait to go back and get my hair cut and beard trim at the same time.
My beard never looked so good or felt so soft

Today was my third or so visit and every time I go I am more blown away by the place. It is the best Barber shop I have ever been to. The staff is so nice and cool and do such amazing work, love my hair every time I walk out.
This place is great even if you don’t have facial hair. I also love all their products, every time I walk out with 2 or 3 things, such high quality products that you can’t find other places. I suggest you go there now!

The Perfect Shave.
Many look for it, few have achieved it… until now.
Enter Beadsgaard, bringing classic barbershop and technique back to it’s roots.

I really enjoyed Natalie’s attention to detail with each meticulous stroke of the blade making my haircut one step closer to perfection. Not only will you look good, you will also feel good rejuvenated full of a new found glory.
A completely new experience with a wide variety of tools to sculpt your masterpiece mane into something truly marvelous. Natalie takes your hairs unique growth pattern and cultivates a haircut that compliments your exact hair characteristics.
Beardsgaard, where the prime directive is «Make me look good.»

Staff is excellent and the atmosphere is very cool. Natalie gave me the best haircut I have ever had!

Wish there was an old school barbershop around? You know, the ones with straight-​razors and good conversation, smelling like Bay Rum, shave cream, and leather? This is the place! Natalie and Tyler know their business and will have you trimmed and looking great in no-​time flat. The problem is, you won’t want to leave! The shop is cozy and full of laughter and old-​school nostalgia. And, look for the geeky bits of pop culture hanging around. Whether you’re a bearded Viking or clean-​shaven gent, these guys will take care of your hirsute needs, and they’ll do it expertly. Check ‘em out!

Finally decided to take my beard to the next level, and not only to grow it but also maintain it. Love that Beardsgaard came to town, Tyler and Natalie are awesome at their craft and very awesome too! They truly appreciate the art and are very talented.
I can’t forget to mention shopkeep Colin, dude is super cool.

Pros
Incredible staff
Kid friendly
Hands down the best barber shop in the area
Great music and laid back atmosphere
Delicious coffee
Cons
No barbershop quartet
Lets face it folks, finding a good Barber is a pain in the A… As someone who just moved to the area I was not expecting too much. Luckily for me I was blown away! Everyone in the shop was super laid back and extremely friendly. Natalie cut my hair and did an incredible job. I was also pleasantly surprised to see how kid friendly it was.
So if it is a good haircut you seek, I would not hesitate to stop at the B B (beardsgaard barbers).
