appointments & walk-ins
Do I need an appointment for a haircut at Bootlegged Barber?
No. Walk-ins are welcome at every shop. If you want a specific barber or a guaranteed time, book online; it takes about a minute and locks in your chair.
How do I book a haircut online?
All shops take online bookings. Hit any Book Now button on this site, pick your location, service, barber, and time, and you're set. Prefer the phone? Call any location at the phone number listed on their page.
Can I request a specific barber?
Yes. When you book online you choose your barber along with your service and time. Walking in? You'll get the next open chair, or you can wait for your regular if they're on the floor that day.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens. Reschedule online or call the shop as early as you can so the chair can go to someone else. We haven't published a formal cancellation policy online, so if you have questions about a specific appointment, call your chosen location.
How long does a haircut take?
Plan on 30 minutes for most services, including the Signature Traditional Haircut and the skin fade. Combos run longer: the Hair & Beard Transformation is 60 minutes and The Ultimate Grooming Experience is a full 90. Every service starts with a consultation, so that time is built in, not rushed.
haircuts & services
What's included in the Signature Traditional Haircut?
The Signature Traditional Haircut is $46 and takes 30 minutes. It includes a personal consultation, precision clipper-over-comb work, your choice of tea tree shampoo or a three-step scalp treatment, a hot towel, and a straight razor finish on the neck and hairline. You can add beard service to the same visit.
How much is a skin fade?
A haircut with an expert skin fade is $52 and takes 30 minutes. You get the full signature haircut plus a fade tapered all the way down to skin level, finished with a straight razor. Custom design options are available; just ask during the consultation.
What is the Ultimate Grooming Experience?
The Ultimate Grooming Experience is the full 90-minute service, priced at $113. It combines the signature haircut with an expert beard trim, a three-step scalp treatment, a neck and head massage, and a waterless beard shampoo with essential oils. Like the rest of the Experience menu, it's the same price at any shop — book online, or call ahead so your barber has the full 90 minutes blocked out.
Do you do eyebrow, ear, or nose waxing?
Yes. Precision facial waxing is $15 per area, and you can choose nose, ears, or eyebrows; each takes about 10 minutes. Want all three handled at once? The bundle is $40 and takes 30 minutes.
I want a completely new hairstyle. What should I book?
Book the Style Renovation Experience: $56, 30 minutes. It starts with an in-depth consultation about the change you want, especially longer-to-shorter transitions, then a customized cut using clipper-over-comb and freehand tapers, your choice of tea tree shampoo or a three-step scalp treatment, a hot towel, and a straight razor finish on the neck and hairline.
How often should I get a haircut?
For short cuts and fades, most clients come back every two to four weeks to keep the shape crisp; longer styles can stretch to five or six. Your barber will give you an honest timeline for your specific cut during the consultation. Booking your next visit before you leave is the easiest way to stay sharp.
kids
Do you cut kids' hair?
Yes, kids are welcome at all shops. Every cut starts with a consultation, and our barbers take the same care with a kid's fade as they do with a regular's standing appointment.
Is there anything included for kids ages 5 to 11?
Yes. The Signature Traditional Haircut ($46) comes with a complimentary clipper shave cleanup on the neck for kids 5-11. Mention it when you book or when you check in.
Is Bootlegged a good place for a kid's first haircut?
We think so. Bootlegged was built on a community vibe where everyone feels comfortable and welcome, and that includes the smallest person in the chair. If your kid is nervous, call the shop ahead of time and we'll help you pick a good moment to come in.
Do kids need an appointment?
Same rules as everyone else: walk-ins welcome, online booking available. If you're working around school and practice schedules, booking a set time online beats waiting with a restless kid.
beards & shaves
What's included in a hot towel shave?
The Hot Towel Shave Experience is $56 and takes 30 minutes. Your barber evaluates your skin, trims your facial hair, applies pre-shave conditioner and a steaming hot towel, scrubs with a shave brush, then shaves with a straight razor both with and across the grain before finishing with a facial massage and after-shave balm. We use premium Italian products throughout, at all shops.
How much is a beard trim?
The Signature Beard Grooming Experience is $43 for 30 minutes: a consultation, expert shaping, a hydrating and nourishing treatment, a hot towel, and a precision razor finish on the neck and cheek lines. You can pair it with a haircut in the same visit.
Do you shave heads?
Yes. The Noggin Shave Experience is $43 and takes 30 minutes: a precision hair trim, dry shave, invigorating hot towel, and a straight razor finish. It's not just a shave; it's an experience.
Can I get a haircut and beard trim in one appointment?
Absolutely. The Hair & Beard Transformation is $86 for 60 minutes and covers an expert haircut, a precise beard trim, and styling. If you want the full works, The Ultimate Grooming Experience runs $113 for 90 minutes.
How should I prepare for a straight razor shave?
Just show up. The service starts with a skin evaluation and includes pre-shave conditioner and hot towels, so your barber handles the prep. If you have sensitive skin or specific concerns, bring them up during the consultation and we'll adjust the approach.
