No-Shave November: How to Prepare Your Barber Shop for All the Facial Hair

No-Shave November is a month-long celebration during which participants stop shaving and grooming their facial hair to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness, especially in men.

If your barber shop or salon hasn’t joined in on the fun, why not this year? Here’s how to get your barber shop No-Shave-November-ready.

Create Awareness with a Contest

Create No-Shave November buzz as soon as possible by spreading the word. You’re free to set your own rules since it’s your barber shop, but here’s inspiration from other barber shops and salons to keep clients motivated.

Since this party kicks off in November, strive to kick it off at the end of October with a ‘Shave Your Face’ party. Print up the rules and automatically send them to clients using your scheduling app. Include a discounted offer for a shave. Donate some of the proceeds to the charity you’ve selected to support.

Here are some sample rules for your No Shave November:

• Rule #1—each participant must shave all their facial hair

• Rule #2—take a photo of your clean face and submit it no later than [date]

• Rule #3—do not shave for the entire month of November

• Rule #4—submit a weekly beard growth photo

• Rule #5—shave it all off on December 1^st

Each week, you can select random winners. As the facial hair grows longer, make your prizes more valuable. Participants enter a drawing for the grand prize when they submit a photo for each week of the contest.

Keep in mind this is supposed to be a fun event, so no one needs to be too strict about trims, haircuts, or tidying up. And, of course, if the participants want to keep their facial hair at the end, more power to them.

Send Clients Beard Tips and Product Suggestions

Since your clients won’t be shaving, the demand for beard and hair products may increase. Stock up on beard maintenance products! Facial hair upkeep is a matter of having the right grooming tools. Brushing and combing beards, goatees, mustaches, or whatever your clients can grow requires oils and waxes for hydration.

Utilize technology to help manage special events and promotions. A booking appointments app is essential for keeping up with No-Shave November events, increased holiday bookings, and the daily operations of your barber shop. Salon software makes it easy for clients to schedule appointments online when convenient for them.

It also saves you time by automating appointment confirmations and reminders and keeping your clients in the loop regarding the latest barbershop happenings, including contests, giveaways, special events, promotions, new products, beard maintenance tips, and more.

Think Ahead

November is already a busy month for barber shops and salons. It’s in the middle of the holiday rush when salon scheduling requests are already increasing. Be prepared for the barrage of holiday appointments and follow-up appointments after No-Shave November ends. During No-Shave November, you can also entice clients to book appointments by offering discounted haircuts to help enhance their new looks.
