Groom’s Day: A 30-Day Checklist for the Groom and Groomsmen
Decide on the look in advance, adjust hair and beard in the last few weeks and leave the finishing touches for the final days. For the group, request the Groom’s Day quote early, stating how many people, each person’s services, the day and the time they need to leave.
Groom’s Day is when the groom and the group come to the barbershop to get ready. To make sure everything goes as planned, it is worth organizing the last thirty days. This checklist gathers what usually makes a difference and what to do at each stage. The dates are a guide: adjust them to your calendar and the ceremony’s.
30 days before: decide on the look and the group
- Decide how you want to look on the day: a short, shaped or fuller beard, a formal or more modern cut.
- If you are unsure what suits your face, book an image consultation, which takes about 2 hours.
- List who will take part in Groom’s Day: groom, friends, groomsmen, parents and guests.
- Confirm the date and time of the ceremony to set the time to leave the barbershop.
In advance: request the quote
Von Barbarov does not offer fixed packages: the quote is tailored to your group. To request it, talk to the team on WhatsApp and share four things: how many people, the services each one wants, your preferred day and time, and the time by which you need to leave the barbershop. See how it works on the Groom’s Day page.
14 days before: take care of beard and hair
- If you are growing out your beard, do not trim it yourself at this stage: leave the final shape to the barber.
- Get beard hydration and hair hydration. Ideal upkeep is every 15 days, and the service does not need a booking.
- Avoid trying a new product or changing your look for the first time close to the ceremony.
In the final week: haircut and beard design
In the days before the wedding, the haircut and beard enter the home stretch. A haircut done a few days earlier usually settles better than one done the day before. On Groom’s Day, the finishing is done with a hot towel and razor, for a clean, relaxing result. If you like, add extra services such as facial therapy, eyebrows and hair removal.
On the day: what to bring and what to expect
- The Von Barbarov space can be used for the making-of.
- At the Boqueirão location, there is a reserved space where the groom can shower and get dressed after the service.
- Food, massage and chiropractic care are separate services, subject to availability. Arrange everything with the team when you request the quote.
- Bring your outfit and accessories and arrive with the group at the agreed time.
Groom’s Day can be held at any of the three locations: Boqueirão, Xaxim and Kennedy. Tell us your preference when you request the quote.
