5 Things You Should Tell Your Barber on Your First Visit

The first time you sit in a new barber’s chair, a good consultation makes all the difference. At Rogue & Beyond, we believe the best cuts start with communication. Here are five things every client should share with their barber on a first visit:

1. Your Lifestyle

Tell your barber about your day-to-day routine. Do you work in a corporate environment? Do you hit the gym daily? A cut that matches your lifestyle will be easier to maintain and feel more natural.

2. Your Usual Style

Share how you normally wear your hair, whether it’s neat, textured, slicked back, or natural. This helps your barber understand your comfort zone before suggesting upgrades.

3. Your Styling Habits

Be honest about how much time you spend styling your hair in the morning. If you’re low-maintenance, your barber will keep things effortless. If you enjoy experimenting, they can design something versatile.

4. What You Liked or Didn’t Like in Past Cuts

If there’s something you loved about a previous cut, or something that didn’t work, let your barber know. This saves guesswork and ensures we build on what works for you.

5. Any Concerns About Your Hair

Whether it’s a stubborn cowlick, thinning areas, or thick, heavy sides, tell your barber upfront. The right technique can turn “problems” into features.

💈 A consultation isn’t just about what we see, it’s about what you share. The more your barber knows, the better the cut, and the more effortless your style becomes.
