Most bad haircuts don t happen because the barber lacks skill.
They happen because: the client isn t sure what suits them the words don t match the picture in their head short, fade, and clean mean different things to different people expectations are never fully aligned
Barbers work with structure, balance, and growth patterns. Clients often arrive with vibes, photos, or half-formed ideas.
BarberTimes and BarberComb were built to solve two different problems in the same space.
BarberTimes.com exists to observe, document, and talk about barbering as a craft , the culture, the standards, the conversations that happen in and around the chair. It s editorial by nature. It asks why.
BarberComb.com exists for a different moment , when a man needs clarity. Before the chair. After the chair. In everyday life.
Over time, one pattern became clear: Most grooming frustration isn t about trends or products , it s about not knowing how to translate barber thinking into everyday decisions.
BarberComb is a free, browser-based grooming tool built on real barber standards.It helps men choose haircuts and beard styles that actually suit them, know how often to maintain their look, and communicate clearly with their barber , before sitting in the chair. No sign-ups, no tracking, no ads. All tools run locally in your browser, nothing is stored. BarberComb isn’t about trends or products. It’s quiet, practical grooming intelligence , like a good comb: simple, precise, and always useful.
