A barber shop that's appointment only? ​ ​Yeah, that's us. You're probably thinking: "wait, what? But who's going to book appointments? No one's got time." ​ ​But the fact is, appointments are a fantastic idea. Why? Because: ​ ​💇‍♂️ appointments allow us to spend the right amount of time on your cut and shave, and we're not rushing you out the door for the next customer ​💇‍♂️ no queues! Is there anything else worse than queueing for a haircut? ​💇‍♂️ we're not just about the 'cut' at The Big Beard Cartel. You're here for some time out and self care, and appointments mean we're allowing time for the little things, like that scalp massage, and the hot towels. ​ ​While we love walk-in appointments, the fact is, our books are usually full so we can't accept them - so booking ahead is the safer option. ​ ​Interested? Why not book an appointment with us and discover what all the fuss is about.  ​ ​ ​#thebigbeardcartel #bigbeardcartel #barbershoptips #barberadvice #barberkat #barberhacks #barbersofinstagram #customerservice #appointmentsavailable #mensstyle #selfcareisnotselfish #mensgrooming #barbersofkarratha #karrathabarbers #karratha #pilbara

What we believe: a good haircut for one person, isn't a good haircut for another person. ​ ​What we don't believe: good haircuts can be done quickly. ​ ​Curious to know why? ​ ​Like a pair of jeans, a haircut differs based on plenty of factors, like your hair type, any areas of concern, your face shape, your lifestyle etc. That's why when you come for a haircut or shave at The Big Beard Cartel, we don't just give you a cut-and-paste style. We take the time to look at your hair and beard, ask about what you need (and actually listen to your answer!), and keep asking for feedback as we go through your appointment. ​ ​It's also why we champion appointments over walk-ins, so we can dedicate time to getting your cut and shave just right. There's nothing worse than feeling like you've had a rush job, and leaving disappointed with what you've got. ​ ​Do you agree? Let us know in the comments below if think taking time for your haircut leads to a better result! ​ ​#thebigbeardcartel #bigbeardcartel #beardexperts #mensstyle #menshaircut #mensgrooming #barberadvice #barbertips #barberlife #karrathabarber #karratha #pilbara

#unpopularopinion: men don't receive the same level of service as women in the hair industry. ​ ​Think about it: as a man, when was the last time someone offered you a cup of coffee, or a beer, when you get your hair cut?  ​ ​That's what makes The Big Beard Cartel different. We recognise that men should be pampered, and be made comfortable when coming for a hair appointment. It shouldn't be seen as "feminine" to have little luxuries.  ​ ​When you come to The Big Beard Cartel for a cut or shave, you'll have access to our full selection of coffee, tea, water, beer, juice and soft drink. And yes, you can have two types of beverages if you want!  ​ ​If you're ready for a complete barber experience, book an appointment with The Big Beard Cartel (link in bio).  ​ ​ ​#bigbeardcartel #barberexperience #barbersofinstagram #instabarber #femalebarbers #karrathabarbers #karratha #pilbara #treatyoself

Master stylist. Hair guru. Attention to detail. ​ ​These are just some of the words that James left on our Google Business page, and with over 100 other reviews just like this, it makes me just a little bit proud of The Big Beard Cartel 😄 ​ ​Here's the full review below: ​ ​"Truly blown away by the fresh fade and crisp line-up. Kat has the HOT hands, she is a master stylist, a hair guru. Best barber in Karratha. The ambience and the banter was a vibe. But what stood out was her pride in her craft because her attention to detail is unmatched. Made an appointment for my next trim as I was walking out the door feeling like a boss. Oops, I forgot to mention that you can book an appointment so that you don't have to wait for hours in a queue." ​ ​If you're looking for someone you can trust with your hair, to capture your unique sense of style, and leave you walking out the door like a BOSS, it's time to book your appointment with us.  ​ ​Tap the website link in the bio to book your appointment today. ​ ​ ​#thebigbeardcartel #barberskarratha #karratha #barbersofinstagram #beardmaintenance #masterstylist #hairguru #clientlove #testimonials #customerfeedback #happycustomerhappylife #positivereviews

Guys, have you ever wondered how you can step up your self-care routine?  We've got a few ideas to help you feel fresh 😉 1️⃣ Nose wax - it might seem like a painful addition to your appointment, but a nose wax can make you feel extra groomed and stylish. It will also help stop those little hairs bugging you (especially in hay fever season!)  2️⃣ In-salon beard-grooming tutorial - we'll arm you with the best smelling oils and the right technique to help you look and feel good until your next trim.  3️⃣ Massage - while we give your scalp little massage, let us know if you need more or less pressure, or want extra attention on the temples (if you haven't had your temples rubbed, you're missing out!). They might not be "on the menu", but these are just a few of the value-adds we offer at the Big Beard Cartel.  Book in now, and take full advantage of your time in the chair.  ​#thebigbeardcartel #barberkat #barberkarratha #karrathabarbers #barbersau #barbersofinstagram #mensstyle #menshair #styleinthepilbara #menslifestyle #karrathabusiness #smallbusinesskarratha #buylocal #shopsmall

Story time ☺️ ​ ​Have you ever noticed this bad boy at The Big Beard Cartel? ​ ​Well, it's actually one of barber Kat's most prized possessions.  ​ ​This is a baby badger hair shaving brush - and it was a gift from Kat's former boss when she finished up her apprenticeship with him in Brisbane.  ​ ​The gold-handled brush sits in a vintage ceramic holder and now takes pride of place in the Karratha shop.  ​ ​So when you see her pull that brush out and use it on you, just know she's giving you the royal Big Beard Cartel treatment.  ​ ​#thebigbeardcartel #barberkat #barberkarratha #karrathabarbers #barbersau #barbersofinstagram #mensstyle #menshair #styleinthepilbara #menslifestyle #karrathabusiness #smallbusinesskarratha #buylocal #shopsmall

What's the one thing I love about being a barber? ​ ​It's always amazing to get a repeat client, but to service that client AND their family? That is the biggest mark of respect! Johnnie and his children have been a client of mine for a few years, and I always look forward to styling the family. It's such a fantastic bonding experience for a dad and his sons, and to be able to style the kids as they grow up is such a privilege. ​ ​We can do kids from aged 2 years and over, so if you're a dad who is a regular customer with us, why not bring your kid in next time, and start a new family tradition? ​ ​#thebigbeardcartel #karratha #karrathasmallbusiness #customerreview #fivestarreview #familytradition #familybarber #expertbarber #masterstylist #barberkat #mensstyle #clientlove
