Barber shop and coffee shop combine special creative coffee shop management model

The environment of the multi-purpose barber shop is indeed more attractive than the plain community barber shop. Cafe-barbeshop, which functions as a barber shop and a coffee shop, is popular in Brooklyn, New York. Blind Barber, located on Williamsburg Street in Brooklyn, has a $45 haircut and offers more than a dozen drinks, including four beers and cappuccino made with Blue Bottle coffee. After ordering, you can sit down in one of the four old-fashioned salon chairs and wait for a haircut.

It's not important to earn $3 per cup of coffee, it's important to use it to start a conversation, develop a friendship, etc. Every few weeks, a regular customer goes to Blind Barber on his way home for a cup of ale or espresso, and he can often find like-minded people in Blind Barber. This is a good place for leisure and relaxation, and it is important for people, especially New Yorkers, to have such an environment, because it is a place where you can reduce stress, relax and talk.

Such a place looks new because it provides a space for chatting. This reduces estrangement and is of the same nature as what women are doing, but in a more unique 'manly' way, other places suitable for men to go out to drink and chat are bars, but they are really noisy, so they can't talk well. the rest is sports, but it's no different from going to a bar.

Although these stores are not limited to men, most of them use folding razors and offer shaving services. The decoration in the store is different from a beauty salon and more like a men's clothing boutique (nothing but scissors, combs and Barbicide glass jars).

A cup of cappuccino made from locally grown roasted coffee beans is served here, which is very suitable for high-quality customers.

Before cafe-barbeshop became popular, the future of the old-fashioned barber shop was in ruins. The barber shop entered the Great Depression in the mid-1960s and thousands of people went bankrupt. Many books in the 1990s have mentioned that they are running out of steam. The barber shop is closely related to the postwar generation (whether it's World War I or World War II) because their hair is very short. When hippies prevailed in the 1960s, moustache prevailed in the 1970s, and more and more gender-neutral barbershops appeared in the 1970s and 1980s. And, when men's hairstyles become more complicated, they feel that the barber shop can't do it. But nowadays, many men return to short hair, even if they have bushy beards, and the barber shop is best at it.

Fashionable men find that the environment of a multi-purpose barber shop is more attractive than that of a simple community barber shop. These combined products are like community centers. In modern society, there is a lack of space for men only, and the barber shop still gives priority to men.

The experience of customers in a barbershop near their apartment is completely different from that of Cotter Barber. In Cotter Barber, he holds a cup of American coffee and relaxes in the store's backyard in fine weather. Although he has to wait a long time, he happily walks in and drinks a cup of his favorite coffee. Cafe-barbeshop makes a haircut feel like an experience, not an obligation. Although it's a little expensive, you can have a glass of beer you like and let them take care of your hair carefully.

Persons of Interest is a barber shop on Williamsburg Street that works with Parlor Coffee to serve espresso drinks to customers. Obviously this is the same group of customers who have the best haircut and drink the best coffee. People who spend $45 on a haircut will also spend $5 on a cup of coffee. Despite the surrounding cafes and hairdressing salons, cafe-barbeshop continues to emerge, all with cafes or alcohol licenses.

In March, Cotter Barber opened in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, with a La Marzocco manual Italian espresso machine in front of a counter made of recycled wood with four retro barber chairs (regardless of gender, but most of the customers are men).

Fellow Barber, on Williamsburg Street, also launched a coffee service in February. All cafe-barbeshop coffee beans come from manual roasters. Fellow Barber plans to add a bar to its store in Detroit. (Four Barrel Coffee, Tandem Coffee of Portland, Me.)

Not only Brooklyn, but also a number of multi-purpose beverage stores have sprung up: smoking is allowed in bars in Rod, Gun & Barbers in Toronto. Peoples Barber & Shop in San Francisco, Duke Barber Co in Philadelphia. Both serve cold beer and The Modern Man, a salon chain in Portland, offers beer and bourbon from local suppliers.
