BARBER HAUS
What do Hugh Jackman, Idris Elba, Jason Momoa and Santa Claus all have in common? They all have a strong beard game. Throughout history, beards were a sign of power and virility. Today it's a form of self expression (and yes, masculinity too!). Trend or not, it's here to stay. And generally speaking, there is a strong resurgence in men’s grooming. Men, just like women, want to feel confident, clean and attractive. Today’s modern man is looking for experiences, high-quality cuts and authenticity. They take pride in their appearance, as it defines their personal style. Amidst all the holiday hustle and bustle - don’t forget about you! Introducing: Barber Haus.
Barber Haus, a four-chair barbershop in downtown Naperville, opened its doors in September 2022. Everything they do is signature - specialities include: custom haircuts, beard trims, straight-razor shaves, men’s coloring and grey-color blending. This newly remodeled space has a modern-classic feel. It’s James Bond meets John Wick … suave, refined, masculine - yet, badass. It’s a vibe.
BH takes great pride in educating its clients, too. Whether it’s haircuts (long hair, short hair or fades) or beard trims (long, short or goatee), it doesn’t matter. Its consultative approach allows clients to understand styles that will work best for their unique needs and lifestyle. It's about feeling good (and looking good) every day … not just when you leave the shop.
In a brick-and-mortar world that’s plagued with e-commerce competition, barbering has the upper hand. After all, there is no way to get a haircut online! And with ‘Movember’ in the rearview mirror, it's time to spruce up this holiday season.
