When customers enter the shop, everyone should smile and greet them. This creates a welcoming environment and makes customers feel valued.

It's important to begin your patrons service with a plan. First, check your calendar, confirm which client you are meeting with, and review their service. Greet them by name, introduce yourself with your name. This will help you remember the name of your client and build an impression of professionalism.

Once you've greeted the client by name and confirmed the service they've booked, begin the consultation. Based on the consultation, suggest the service they should receive as some clients may choose the wrong service based on their knowledge in English or barbering skills. If they have made an error booking—help them understand what service they should get and provide that service only if customer agrees!

The non-compete policy at Dandies Barbers is simple and straightforward: It prohibits any former barber from working as a barber in any other establishment within a 5 mile radius of Dandies Barbers for one year after their employment ends. This means that if you work at Dandies Barbers and then leave to work at another barbershop, you cannot work as a barber within 5 miles of Dandies Barbers for one year after your employment ends. You must also agree not to solicit customers or barbers from Dandies Barbers while employed elsewhere as this will lead to legal action.
The purpose of this policy is twofold: First, it ensures that our customers will always have access to our best barbers second, it protects us from having someone leave our shop only to open up shop nearby and steal away our clientele. By preventing barbers from leaving us and opening new shops nearby, we protect not only our own business but also our barbers work.

We are proud to announce a new policy for our barbershops. All barbers must have their own general liability insurance. This is not a new requirement, but it is a necessary one, and we wanted to make sure that you were aware of the importance of this change in policy. Having your own insurance helps protect the company from any potential liability issues that may arise. This includes customers accidentally getting hurt during a haircut or shave, but also protects against any health-related issues such as allergies or infections. The cost of this insurance is minimal, and we encourage all barbers to purchase their own coverage before the end of the year so they can start enjoying its benefits immediately. If you have questions about how best to obtain this coverage, please contact your manager or our HR department for assistance.
