The best barbershops in Nizhny Novgorod in 2020

The culture of visiting barbershops in Russia appeared not so long ago. For many people, the meaning of this foreign word is still incomprehensible, but in large cities, going to such establishments is gradually becoming a common practice. The number of barbershops is increasing, and some of them are opened under a franchise. About what a barbershop is and the best similar establishments in Nizhny Novgorod - below.

What is a barbershop?

If you make a literal translation from English, then "barber" is a barber, and "shop" is a store. In practice, barbershops are men's hairdressing salons, whose employees are also mostly men. Moreover, today these are also informal men's clubs, where you can not only get a haircut, but also chat.

Barbershop is a whole culture, with a special atmosphere and interior design in the spirit of the 60s, which attracts visitors. Another reason for the growing popularity is the opportunity to contact professionals in their field who will help create an individual style.

Barber shop services:

• Men's haircut;
• Beard and mustache trimming;
• Hair Styling;
• Manicure and pedicure;
• Shaving with a straight razor;
• Eyebrow and beard modeling.

Also in barbershops you can often buy special hair and beard care products and accessories.

How to choose a barbershop

Main selection criteria

• The information received from acquaintances and friends and from the Internet (especially reviews on establishments) will help to compile an approximate list of barbershops that interest you. True, focusing on the opinions of users on the network, you should remember: it is impossible to check if the competitors of the salon have suddenly left a negative review. In addition, people often write reviews when they are not happy, and much less often when they liked everything.
• Location. As a rule, high-level establishments with professional craftsmen are located in the central area of ​​the city. True, the prices for services in such a barbershop will be significantly higher: rental costs must be covered.
• Signboard, room decoration. A well-thought-out style and concept of the establishment, the quality of flyers and business cards can testify to a serious approach to business and the level of the salon. Although, in the final analysis, a particular barbershop should be judged by the quality of service.
• Compliance with all sanitary and hygienic norms and rules. Specialists must have health records. The instruments must be disinfected. Disposable consumables are used (paper napkins, cotton swabs). Each client is allocated a clean towel, cape, bathrobe. The cosmetics used must be certified.
• Service level. If you make an appointment with a barber by phone, pay attention to how the administrator spoke to you. When you come to the salon, note how you were met, what was offered to take minutes of waiting, perhaps you were treated to a cup of coffee or tea.
• The appearance of the master. If his appearance, especially his hairstyle, beard and mustache leaves a lot to be desired, it might be worth looking elsewhere.
• Master's experience, his professional education, maybe training in additional courses and attending training seminars. Take an interest in the experience of the hairdresser, the density of his schedule: it is not easy to sign up for a good barber quickly.

• An experienced barber also acts as a stylist. He will tell you which haircut or beard shape is best for the client, neatly and politely will convince him that he is right if he sees that the image requested by the client does not suit him at all. However, if the visitor is very persistent and does not abandon the decision, the master will not go into conflict and will do what he is asked to do.
• Equally important is the impression that the barber made on you when you first met. Evaluate whether you like him as a person, whether it will be pleasant for you to talk with him during the haircut and after it, because one of the traditions of these establishments is communication between the master and the client in a relaxed informal atmosphere.
• A good barber will certainly discuss in detail all the points related to the haircut before starting work, ask clarifying questions (For example, "Would you like to change something?", "What do you like about your haircut and what not?").
• A professional in his field will not work silently. He, pauses in work, will take an interest in your opinion, let him look in the mirror to find out if he is moving in the right direction.
• Without having been in the barber's chair, it is difficult to determine the level of his skill. It is better to start with simple tasks - work with the hairline around the ears and on the neck. During the first visit, you will be able to form an opinion about the professionalism of the specialist.
• The atmosphere in the barbershop. Positioning themselves as clubs for male communication, a place where you can "hang out", establishments offer visitors a whole range of additional free services. This is the opportunity to play board and video games, taste drinks from the bar, and flip through magazines.
• Prices indicated in the price list. The high cost of services does not yet indicate the degree of their quality. Determine the amount that you can easily spend on a visit to the barbershop about once a month, and look for establishments focusing on it. Thus, some establishments will be eliminated immediately. At the price, barbershops keep the bar at about the same level, while the price for a haircut can reach an average of 1,700 rubles, for a mustache and beard - 1,200 rubles, for shaving with a straight razor - 1,500 rubles.
