The line
How the line works
Walk-ins and booked clients share the floor. This is how we keep it fair, on a Saturday most of all.
- 01
Step 1: Sign the board
Write your name on the board by the door. Names go up in the order people arrive.
- 02
Step 2: Watch the board
It shows who is next and which chair is open. Waits vary, and the board is the only clock we keep.
- 03
Step 3: Booked clients go at their time
If you booked, you are seen at your time and the line waits. Arrive a few minutes early.
- 04
Step 4: The line closes early
We stop adding names 30 minutes before close, so everyone on the board gets a cut.
On a Saturday
A chair ready when your name is called
There is a bench by the window and a few chairs along the wall. Stay close; when your name is next, we call it.
If you want a particular barber, tell the board when you sign in. Their wait is their chair's wait, and it can be shorter or longer than the rest of the floor.
