Getting a home-service haircut: What you need to know

A lot of people get their hair cut at home these days—in fact, it's becoming more and more of an option for many people.

But why get your haircut at home?

There's the obvious advantage of convenience. You don't have to drive anywhere or spend time waiting on somebody else to finish with their client before they can get to you. Plus, if you live in a remote area or somewhere that's not particularly well-served by local barbershops, your options for getting your haircut might be limited anyway. Another advantage is that it is safer and you limit your exposure from other people.

Now, here are some tips before getting a haircut at home:

Look For A Well-Trained Barber
Getting a haircut at home is a unique experience and one that requires a bit of extra preparation. When you're choosing a barber to come over, look for someone who's well-trained in the art of cutting hair. GetGroomed barbers are well-trained and deliver the same high-quality service no matter whose house they're visiting. And most importantly? They’ll make sure to respect your space and give you privacy if you need it.

Read Reviews Before Booking An Appointment
Always check reviews and look at before and after pictures of cuts—but also look for specific references to what safety measures the barber took and whether clients were satisfied with them.

Decide On The Haircut You Want
There are a lot of factors to consider, like your hair type, face shape, and lifestyle. To help narrow down the possibilities, search for hairstyles on the internet. Take a photo and show it to your barber.

Choose The Right Spot
Choose a place in your home that's well lit, so you can see and make sure everything's even and the way you want it. We recommend a room with a lot of natural light.

Don’t Be Afraid To Speak Up
Be honest with your barber about what you like in a hairstyle, and what you don't like—they're not mind-readers. If something doesn't feel right, just say so. That's what they’re here for.

Lastly, Wear Your Confidence
We all know that getting a new haircut can be nerve-wracking. But we believe that no matter how you choose to style your hair, the most important part of your look is how you present yourself to the world
