Not Your Average Barber Shop

Shawn, the owner of Hair Science Barber Shop and Barber School, took some time to speak with us about his business’ impressive online reputation.

What sets Hair Science Barber Shop and Barber School apart from other barber shops in Alaska? According to Shawn, it’s the unique experience they provide to their clients. “We call it ‘The Hair Science Experience.’ You are the superstar for 30 minutes to an hour,” he said.

Shawn and his team take immense pride in the fact that they help people love how they look. To the Hair Science Barber Shop and Barber School team, barbering isn’t just a job; it’s an opportunity to boost people’s self-esteem. When asked why he does what he does, Shawn said, “We want to make people more confident. We want to do a great job with haircuts and grooming. We focus a lot on community. We have this event called “Operation Reborn” every second Sunday of the month where we offer FREE haircuts for homeless people, single parents, unemployed people, etc.”

Building Success Through Consistency

Of course, we were particularly interested in finding out the Hair Science Barber Shop and Barber School’s secret to success. In Shawn’s words, it’s actually pretty simple. When we asked, he said, “It’s all about consistently putting the client’s experience first.”

As the owner of the award-winning Hair Science Barber Shop and Barber School, Shawn has quite a bit of wisdom to share with other business owners. Here’s the advice he gave us to share with you:

“Be consistent. We post every single day. We are always creating content.”
