One stop for a long Calabasas commute
Census estimates put the average trip to work for Calabasas residents at about thirty four minutes, which leaves little room for two separate grooming appointments. Doing the haircut and the beard in a single chair means one drive over to Chatsworth instead of two, and one slot to find on the calendar.
When you book, pick the version by name. The Haircut & Beard razors and shapes the beard, and the Haircut & Beard Trim does the beard with clippers, scissors and a trimmer. If you are not sure which you want, ask at the chair.
Beard length and the Malibu Hills Road offices
The corporate offices along Agoura Road and Malibu Hills Road generally leave beard length to the individual, and a neat beard with clean cheek and neck lines reads well in a meeting. The shape matters more than the length. Tell the barber how short you want it and the beard is trimmed to that.
If any part of your job involves a respirator or other safety gear that has to seal against the face, check your own workplace rules before you choose a length. Those rules differ by employer, and it is easier to settle the question before the beard is cut than after.
A razored beard before a King Gillette Ranch wedding
For a wedding at King Gillette Ranch, the razored version gives the sharpest cheek and neck lines for photos. It takes longer, about an hour, because the beard is shaped and then razored with care. The trim version is quicker, from forty five minutes to an hour, and it is the better pick if your skin reddens easily.
Book it one or two days before the event, not the morning of, so any redness settles. Since the shop is closed Sunday, a Saturday ceremony means a visit early in the week or on Friday.
Saturday after the Calabasas farmers market
Saturday is the busiest day at the shop, and the Old Town farmers market on Calabasas Road, which runs until one, sends plenty of Calabasas weekends in the same direction. The shop is open until five on Saturdays, so there is room after the market, but a booked time online keeps the wait short.
On weekdays the shop is open ten to six.
Price and what you get
On the shop menu this is the Haircut & Beard, $40 to $45, about 45 min to 1 hr in the chair. See exactly what the Haircut & Beard includes, or browse the full menu.
Haircut and Beard questions from Calabasas
Which beard service gives a Calabasas commuter the sharpest cheek and neck lines?
The Haircut & Beard. The beard is razored and shaped, so the lines come out closer and crisper, and the visit takes about an hour. The Haircut & Beard Trim outlines with a trimmer instead and leaves a softer edge.
What should I say when booking a haircut and beard from Old Town Calabasas?
Name the service, either Haircut & Beard or Haircut & Beard Trim, and say how long you keep the beard. Anything from stubble to about an inch fits. At the chair, give a length and tell the barber if you want the cheek line natural or defined.
How much time should I plan for a haircut and beard if I am driving from Calabasas Hills?
Plan on about twenty minutes each way, plus forty five minutes to an hour in the chair for the trim version or about an hour for the razored one. Booking online holds a set time, so you are not adding a wait on top.
Should I check beard rules at my Malibu Hills Road workplace before booking?
If your job uses a respirator or safety gear that must seal on the face, yes, check your own workplace rules first. Most office jobs have no issue. Either way, tell the barber the length you need and the beard is cut to match it.
Why does the razored Haircut & Beard take longer before a King Gillette Ranch wedding?
The beard is shaped first and then razored carefully along the cheek and neck, which is slower than outlining with a trimmer. It takes about an hour. The result is a closer edge, so book a day or two before the wedding.
Is Saturday after the Calabasas farmers market a bad time for a haircut and beard?
It is busy but workable. Saturday is the shop's busiest day, and the market ends at one, so the shop is open until five after it. Book online ahead to hold a time. Weekday late mornings are usually calmer.
