The Art of Affordable Luxury: Crafting Exceptional Experiences at Your Barbershop 

By Alyssa Guerra 

Luxury customer experiences and services go above and beyond to make every customer feel seen and valued. It’s about tailoring the little details other barbershops ignore, from the atmosphere to your services to your communication. The goal is to craft a seamless, memorable journey that forges deep connections and conveys your values every step of the way, said Paul Andre de Vera of BSPK

Luckily, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to offer high-end customer service and exceed customers’ expectations. You don’t have to break the bank, either. Here’s how you can deliver premium customer experiences at any barbershop, on any budget. 

1. First Impressions 

When designing a luxury customer experience, consider the details your clients will notice first. For example: 

  • Are they offered a snack, beverage, warm greeting, or reading material when they arrive? Or are they ignored?  
  • Does someone answer the phone or call back right away? Or are they left waiting for days?  
  • Can they book online without headaches? Or do they give up halfway through due to a buggy website? 
  • Is your space clean, decorated, and nice smelling? Or is there dust and a foul odor?  

Examples: 

  • Use signature scents, comfy seating, music, lighting, temperature, and cleanliness to craft an intentional ambience, Harper Ellis Hair Co. (HEHC) says. This could be as simple as adjusting the lights, keeping the space spotless, or making ad-free music playlists on your phone.  
  • Ask family and friends to walk through the door and note their impressions. How does the space make them feel? Is it what you had in mind? Repeat from time to time and use their feedback to adjust accordingly. 

Listen, smile, and engage when customers are present. Body language says a lot!  

2. Personalization and Exclusivity 

The difference between luxury and run-of-the-mill experiences lies in how valuable you can make a customer feel. Personalize their experiences so your clients never feel like “just another customer” again, HEHC says.  

Examples: 

  • Note customers’ preferences, personal details, and purchases so you can tailor your product or treatment recommendations based on their needs.  
  • Seek opportunities for exclusivity. Can you offer services that are new or hard to find elsewhere? Can loyal customers get extra perks?  
  • Consider handwritten thank-you notes, birthday cards, and other personal touches that show each client your appreciation. 
  • Use the customer’s name when speaking to them. “Hey, Brian! Welcome in” sounds friendlier than “Hey. Welcome in.” 
  • Provide free options that allow customers to tailor their luxury customer experience. For example, consider asking if they’re OK with chitchat or if they want silence. Offer conveniences like a blanket, refreshments, and warm or cold towels. 

3. White Glove, End-to-End Experiences 

If you really want your barbering services to stand out, look for avenues to improve efficiency and remove hiccups from the customer’s journey. You’ll not only make it easier to book appointments, but also elevate the experience in little (but noticeable) ways. 

Examples: 

  • Seek opportunities to make processes more efficient and convenient, like with 24/7 online booking, a frequently tested website, digital consultation forms, and automated reminders. 
  • Routine training helps ensure that “exceptional service becomes second nature,” Ken Thomas wrote for Forbes. Hire and train your barbershop employees to represent your values consistently, whether it’s through body language or problem-solving during conflicts. 

4. Expertise 

You can’t achieve excellence without expertise. 

After all, customers—high-end consumers and otherwise—are coming to you as an industry expert. If you have the skills and answers they’re looking for, they’ll quickly learn to trust you. Once a customer knows they’re in safe hands, even the simplest services feel extraordinary. 

Examples: 

  • Research top products, tools, or trends so you can use them, stock them, and answer questions about them. 
  • Push yourself to pursue continuous training. Use it to fine-tune your barbering skills and offer more advanced techniques or services. 
  • Showcase your awards, certifications, and reviews where current and prospective customers can see them. 

Premium insurance shouldn’t require luxury prices, either. 

When it comes to luxury services and high-end customer experiences, our team at WellnessPro believes value doesn’t have to be expensive.

How to Streamline Your Appointment-Scheduling Software 

By Alyssa Guerra 

Your clients’ appointment-booking process is like a roller coaster. Their desire for beauty services gets them in line. But they need momentum to reach the station.  

As app development platform CommonNinja explains in their 2024 article “How to Improve Customer Satisfaction with Seamless Booking Experiences,” the process should help customers book services efficiently and with minimal frustration or confusion. This is essential to building trust between consumers and your brand. It encourages customers to get in line again and again—not just because they need beauty services, but also because they enjoy the appointment-booking process. 

Wondering how to schedule appointments with clients in a way that builds bridges instead of barriers? Here are some tips to consider. 

1. Understand your customers. 

Research and collect feedback to better understand your current and potential clients. Who are they? How do they want to feel when they visit your website or salon for the first time? What do clients like now, and what changes would they like to see? 

Starting with the consumer in mind makes it easier to craft interactions they’ll love from the first click. 

2. Don’t overcomplicate. 

Your clients crave accessible experiences with minimal barriers. Ask yourself: What unnecessary barriers can I eliminate to make the experience as speedy and convenient as possible? 

Aim to create a booking site that’s easy to use, easy to read, and easy on the eyes, Kate Reynier writes for youcanbook.me. Pick a handful of colors, templates, and fonts, and use them purposefully. Make sure your pages load quickly, and streamline navigation with as few steps as possible, Reynier suggests.  

3. Support 24/7 availability and self-service. 

Customers love the autonomy of self-service, as well as the transparency of real-time reminders and updates, like with estimated wait times, says ibex.co in their article “The Now Generation: Surviving the Instant Gratification Culture.” It means they can take action on their time. Plus, automated appointment confirmation or chatbot communication eases customer anxiety and reduces your chances of no-shows, schedly.io states in their article “5 Ways to Make the Booking Process Seamless for Clients.” 

Consider an online appointment-scheduling system that allows clients to book a time, sends appointment reminders, and supports 24/7 cancellations. If they can see available team members, pay, and synchronize with their calendar in one seamless place, that’s even better, says Brevo in their 2024 guide to online booking.  

4. Personalize the experience. 

As ibex says, “One size fits none. Trying to be everything to everyone—instantly—often leads to generic, forgettable experiences.”  

Allow your appointment-scheduling software to tailor the experience to individual customers. For example, some types of software allow special requests or recommend additional services. In turn, clients can easily bundle everything they want (plus add-ons they didn’t even know they wanted), says schedly.io. Meanwhile, tools like AI chatbots, predictive autofill, saved preferences, and intelligent suggestions can direct users smoothly down each step of their customer experience journey. The best part is, the journey feels uniquely designed for them, ibex explains.  

And don’t forget, paying is part of their experience, too. As schedly.io writes in their blog post, you never know what a client’s financial situation might be. In addition to the usual credit cards, consider accepting digital wallets, bank transfers, PayPal, and/or installment plans so they have flexible (yet secure) options. 

Tailored Coverage: Because one-size-fits all doesn’t work for insurance, either. 

At WellnessPro, we believe insurance is another area where quality customer service and tailored experiences matter. Our coverage is designed for the beauty and wellness world—because that’s our world, too.

On Artero’s Cyber Monday, Step Inside Artero HQ with Oscar Mendoza…

Cyber Monday: Artero Levels Up

With Cyber Monday landing on December 1st, Artero is preparing to drop some of its biggest deals of the year – including offers across the New York Collection, education-led tools, and the brand’s most iconic ranges.

For Oscar Mendoza, it’s the perfect moment for barbers to invest in their kit:

“They’re a brand that’s evolving fast. They want to innovate, they want to grow, and they want barbers to grow with them.”

Oscar’s HQ Visit

When Spanish-born, UK-based educator and global barbering force Oscar Mendoza flew out to Barcelona to visit Artero’s headquarters, he didn’t expect the trip to shift his entire perspective on the heritage brand. But that’s exactly what happened.

After officially joining Artero as an International Ambassador, Oscar was invited to spend several days inside the brand’s beating heart – learning how their tools are crafted, meeting the people behind the engineering, and discussing future collaborations that push the boundaries of barbering innovation.

“It was honestly mind-blowing,” he said. “The professionalism, the scale, the passion… and the fact that I built relationships not just with the team, but with the owners themselves. You don’t get that from most big brands.”

A Partnership Built on Values – and Vision

Oscar’s connection with Artero began through recommendations from long-time ambassadors who admired his work. Once the brand reached out, the chemistry was instant.

“They take everything seriously – the tools, the education, the relationships,” he explained. “They look after their artists, they listen, they innovate. I felt aligned immediately.”

For Oscar, education is the pinnacle of barbering. It’s where credibility, skill and leadership converge – and it’s where he sees the most synergy with Artero.

“The highest level of this industry is education. Artero knows that, and they support academies all over the world. With my own academy growing and new online content coming, it was the perfect match.”

Inside Artero HQ: A Look at Craftsmanship

From R&D labs to production floors, Oscar was taken through every department – including a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most crucial elements of tool creation: scissor sharpening.

“I met the guy who sharpens all the scissors by hand,” he said. “The machinery, the technique… I’ve never seen anything like it. You can feel how much experience and passion goes into every blade.”

Artero’s commitment to innovation doesn’t stop at shears. During his visit, Oscar spent time shooting new content, discussing potential collaborations – including a personalised collection – and previewing the brand’s next generation of tools.

Spotlight: Artero’s New York Collection

One of the standout moments of the trip? Getting hands-on with Artero’s New York Collection – a modern trio of clippers and shavers inspired by the energy, precision, and grit of the city itself.

“I love this collection,” Oscar said. “The grip is exceptional, which is crucial because I work with my fingers on the clipper body. The materials are high-quality, the build is solid, and the performance is on point.”

The star feature?
A dual-action shaver that cuts both ultra-short and slightly longer hairs thanks to an integrated centre blade – a major time-saver for barbers.

“Normally, you need to zero down before the foil shaver,” Oscar explained. “This one handles longer hairs too, which is genius.”

Across the board, the collection embodies everything Oscar associates with Artero: innovation, control, and consistency.

The Future? Bigger Than Ever

From major international education plans to a potential collaborative scissor line, Oscar and Artero are only getting started.

“If there’s a brand that wants to evolve, innovate, and invest in the future of barbering, it’s Artero,” he said. “I’m proud to be part of it.”

Artero: The Tools That Shape Talent

Every barber remembers their first set of tools. The weight in their hands. The excitement of that first fade or scissor-over-comb done right. Those early moments shape confidence – and confidence shapes careers. That’s why the tools placed in the hands of students matter just as much as the educators guiding them.

For more than 100 years, Artero has been at the heart of that journey.

A brand built on education, innovation, and craftsmanship, Artero’s mission is simple: support barbers from day one, and empower them to grow into the artists they are destined to become.

Setting the Standard in Education

For Artero Ambassador and Global Educator Eric Way Lovemore, supporting education isn’t just part of what the brand does – it’s central to who they are.

“When a barber has been introduced to the Artero brand from the outset of their career, this becomes the brand of choice into the future. Artero cements their relationship with new students by supporting education at every step.”

That commitment is delivered through academy partnerships, hands-on training, and access to professional-grade equipment at pricing students can reach. Artero even offers customisation services, making it possible for barbers to build a kit that feels truly personal – even if it starts with a single product.

Artero Ambassador, Oscar Mendoza, even recently visited the Artero HQ to learn more about 

Confidence Creators

Because when a barber trusts their tools, they push their creativity further.

That’s what drew Rob Wood, Founder and Director of Novo Cabelo, to the Artistic Team: “Artero’s versatility allows students to use the tools with ease and gives seasoned pros choices for every trend. They’re forward-thinking tools built to last – and not going to break the bank.”

Whether teaching foundational discipline or guiding new ideas, the right tool removes limitations. It frees a learner to focus on finesse and client experience – not a scissor snag or clipper drag.

Artistic Member Ben Massey knows that feeling well: “Whatever Artero tool I pick up, I always have the confidence it will perform on any job I throw at it. That gives me the freedom to be creative and not be limited by my tools.”

Supporting Every Stage of the Journey

The brand’s strength doesn’t just come from one product – but its depth of range.

From the student starting kit to premium pro equipment, Artero has tools designed for every level and every style. And they continue to evolve those tools alongside the needs of today’s barbers.

Master Barber Roxanne Batt from Swagger & Jacks said: “Artero offers a large variety of price points to suit any pocket – but never faults on quality. It’s a great brand to start your hair journey with, and one to continue using as you grow.”

For many, education never ends – and neither does Artero’s support.

Kiri Constantinou, Owner and Creative Director at Fab Hair London, explained: “I’m passionate about precision cutting, and Artero tools are engineered to the highest standard. They give me the confidence to push my work to the limits – and the styling is second to none.”

Artero Ambassador Oscar Mendoza recently took that dedication a step further with a visit to Artero HQ to deepen his knowledge of the brand… but we’ll save that story for our next blog.

Crafting the Future of Barbering

Barbering continues to evolve – from techniques to tools to the expectations of clients. Artero’s forward-thinking approach ensures the next generation is always equipped to keep up.

As Natalie Cresswell, Owner of Cresswell Barber Co., said: “Artero take pride not just in the tools, but in the clients they’re used on. They support the service, the education, and the professional delivering it.”

Because the future of barbering isn’t just in the hands of educators – it’s in the hands of those they teach.

And the right tools will shape that future.

2. Let the product sit for a few seconds, then use your fingertips to massage through the scalp and evenly distribute.

3. Lightly mist from mid-lengths to ends to create separation, grip, and that soft, touchable finish.

4. For a more lived-in look, spray on damp or towel-dried hair, scrunch, tousle, and let it air dry for an easy, undone finish.

Behind the Brand: The Artero Legacy

A family story of craftsmanship, innovation, and precision – built to empower barbers and stylists worldwide.

When it comes to professional hair tools, very few brands can say they’ve been perfecting their craft for over a century. For Artero, the journey began not in a modern factory, but in the Spanish countryside – with a pair of shears, a determined craftsman, and a family passion for precision that has been passed down through four generations.

“Our great-grandfather was a sheep and horse shearer,” said brothers Alex and Edu Artero, the fourth generation leading the family business today. “Cutting implements have always been at the core of our family. This deep-rooted connection to shearing and cutting tools naturally evolved into a specialization in scissors.”

From shearing wool to sculpting hair, the Artero story is one of evolution – combining heritage with cutting-edge technology to deliver the finest professional tools for barbers and hairdressers around the world.

A Heritage Forged in Steel

Artero’s legacy has always been about precision – creating tools that don’t just perform, but elevate the craft of cutting. Over time, the brand refined its focus on professional scissors, developing a range that caters to the needs of every stylist, from newcomers to industry icons.

“Scissors are the most important tool in any barber or hairdressing salon,” said Edu. “They’re fundamental for achieving precision and style in every cut. That’s why we’ve spent generations perfecting them.”

Today, Artero’s scissors combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art engineering. The result? A collection that balances comfort, sharpness, and durability – with prices ranging from £100 to £1000, ensuring every professional can find their perfect match.

Each model is crafted from carefully selected steel types to suit specific needs:

  • SPS (Swiss Powder Steel) – exceptional hardness and precision (61 HRc).
  • VG10 Steel – renowned for edge retention and long-lasting sharpness.
  • 440C High-Carbon Stainless Steel – a reliable, high-performance classic.
  • 9CR Stainless Steel – a more budget-friendly option with excellent quality.

This variety allows Artero to meet the needs of both barbers starting out and seasoned professionals looking for the ultimate upgrade.

Design That Works as Hard as You Do

Comfort and ergonomics are just as important as the blade itself. Long hours behind the chair can take their toll – which is why Artero places so much emphasis on balance, control, and fit.

“The ergonomic design of a scissor directly impacts comfort and performance,” explained Alex. “A well-fitted pair reduces strain on the hand and wrist, helping barbers work longer and more comfortably, while maintaining precise results.”

Artero also offers an extensive range of left-handed scissors, including micro-serrated, curved, straight, and thinning models – ensuring that every barber and stylist can find the right fit for their hand and cutting style. This inclusive approach reflects the brand’s wider philosophy: to empower every professional to create with confidence and control.

Tools That Grow With You

For Artero, quality isn’t a luxury – it’s a foundation. The brand understands that the right tools can shape a career, improve efficiency, and unlock creativity behind the chair.

“High-quality scissors provide smoother cuts, reduce hand fatigue, and deliver consistent results,” said Edu. “They’re an investment in your craft – and we believe professionals should be able to start with something reliable, then level up as they grow.”

Whether you’re purchasing your first pair or expanding your professional kit, Artero ensures that each tool meets the highest standards of quality and performance. Every scissor is the result of meticulous testing, thoughtful design, and the Artero family’s century-long dedication to excellence.

A Brand Built on Trust

Artero’s mission has always been simple: to craft tools that inspire creativity and enhance every cut. From its origins in animal shearing to its current status as one of the most respected names in professional hair tools, the brand remains true to its roots – family, quality, and innovation.

Today, with Alex and Edu at the helm, Artero continues to blend tradition with modern innovation, providing barbers and stylists with tools that make every cut feel effortless.
