Pre-barber prep

Before your barber appointment

Most barber regret comes from showing up with vague references and trying to figure out the cut in the chair. Previewing the haircut on your own face and writing a short brief gives you a calmer appointment.

Use RegretCam to preview the haircut direction, narrow the choice to two options, and walk into the barbershop with a confident brief.

Decision checks

  • Do you know which side length you want?
  • Do you know which top length you want?
  • Do you know how beard or stubble should fit?
