FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book in at Blaker’s Blades?
There are several quick ways to book in at Blaker’s Blades. You can click on the “BOOK NOW” button on the home page or click here and that will take you straight to my online Timely booking system. Then, simply follow and complete the steps. Alternatively, you can contact me directly on 07881 871896 or send me a What’s App. I aim to respond to all queries within 24 hours.
Do you work with anxious clients or those who find haircuts difficult?
Yes, this is a big part of what I do.
I take a calm, patient and personalised approach to every appointment. I’m experienced in working with children, neurodivergent clients, and those living with dementia. Appointments are never rushed, and I always take time to build trust so the experience feels comfortable and positive.
If helpful, I offer:
- A free 15-minute phone consultation before booking
- A longer in-person consultation appointment
- Extended haircut appointments when extra time is needed.
This allows us to go at a pace that feels right for you or your family member.
What is the difference between a trim and a restyle?
A trim is simply a tidy-up of a current style. A restyle would be a change in hairstyle. For example, you may wish to have a taper or skin fade, and your current style is much longer, so more time and clipper/scissor work is needed to create your new style.
What services do I not offer?
I do not offer:
- Colouring services
- Washing and blow-drying
- Chemical treatments (including perms)
- Turkish barbering services
If you’re unsure whether your haircut is suitable, feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to advise before booking.
What if I cannot find a day/time to suit when I go to book online?
I have a waitlist, which you can add yourself to. However, I always say, the best thing is to message me directly, if there is a specific day/time you would like, and I will do my best (where humanly possible), to accommodate your requirements.
Can I visit you instead?
Of course. I have a home set up also, which suits some people better or for those prefer to come to me. I do have Bertie, my cockapoo, who likes to say hello to my lovely clients. (If you are not a dog lover, you may prefer I visit you!)
How much do you charge?
Please visit my Services page for more detail on Services and cost.
What services do you offer? What if I am unsure which services to book?
I offer a range of services at Blaker’s Blades, from a trim to a full restyle. If you have any specific requests or concerns, you can always get in touch directly to discuss further.
What if I don’t know what style I want/would suit a family member?
There is a space, if you choose to book online, for you to put any additional comments such as this. It is also worth attaching any photos to the booking or having desired photos to hand at the start of your appointment, to discuss. An initial and more in-depth consultation will take place before your haircut, to ensure you are happy with what has been discussed and what you are looking to achieve.
Do I cut women’s hair?
Yes, I offer short haircuts and also one-length trims on longer hair.
My work focuses mainly on short styles using clipper/scissor barbering techniques. If you’re unsure whether your haircut is suitable, feel free to get in touch, and I’ll be happy to advise before booking.
What hours do you work?
I work my hours to best suit my clients. I can accommodate clients who may need a daytime appointment, evening slot or a Saturday if that is best.
How far do you travel and is there an additional charge?
I cover an approximate 10-mile radius of my home village, Wingrave. All travel costs within this radius are included in the cost of your haircut.
Outside of this radius, there will be an additional charge to cover my time and expenses. This will always be made transparent at the point of booking.
What do I need to provide for a home visit?
Just you and something to sit on. I have everything else I need to come to you. It couldn’t be easier! I even sweep up at the end too!
What qualifications do you hold?
I have a Level 2 qualification in The Principles of Dementia Care.
I am a qualified Primary School Teacher and Early Years specialist, with vast SEN experience.
I hold a certificate in the Fundamentals of Barbering.
I am fully insured and have Public Liability Insurance and Health and Safety certification too.
What if I need to cancel or change my appointment date/time?
You can change, amend or cancel your appointment directly through the booking system at any time. Again, you can also get in touch with me directly. I do ask for 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel a booking and reserve the right to charge for missed appointments.
