Breh, I have an entire thread on this. I did it because my original guy went on vacation, and had the another guy taking his clients. They were excellent cuts. The next time I booked, I asked for a few different times, as if I didn’t know when I was available, and asked for one when he wasn’t there. Then I asked for the new guy, and he was available.
But this only worked once, because they caught on, and the girl who works at the desk just said, “You want to book new barber?”
Me:
And that was that. New guy had the chair next to the old guy, and it was awkward. But it’s my money, and my hair. Now I go to a barber in a salon suite, which is a much better experience, but he’s moving to Nashville, and has limited availability, so I have to go back to the old shop.
But all this would be less awkward had the shop had online booking. I hate having to call for an appointment, or stand there to make the next one. I like the shops you can pay the barber directly, and book individually with an app.
