🚨JULY PROMO🚨
10% off all waxes with your haircut
Here's your chance to try out an eyebrow wax, nose wax, or ear wax if you never have!

I'm purging some products, and they're heavily discounted if anyone would like to try something different! Hopefully you don't fall in love with them though, cause I won't have them anymore, haha.

Informing everyone that I'll be back to work this Saturday the 13th, but next Saturday the 20th I'll be closed for my cousin's bridal shower.

I am working Fridays temporarily to accommodate people since I was gone, but am currently booked until after the 21st unless there are cancelations.

Looking forward to getting back into my routine!

Hope everyone's liking their cuts from my friends while I'm away on holiday!

I can't believe it's already been 3 weeks since I've been in Australia 🫢 I've been loving it but I'm missing work a little bit (does that make me crazy? 👀) 😂

I'm sure I'll be swamped when I come back so I've went ahead and opened some Friday hours (2pm to 7pm) for the time being!

I've listed my business on Google as being "temporarily closed" so if you're wanting to book for when I'm back, you'll need to schedule through my website directly!

First day back is April 13th, so I'll see you all then! 🫡 Take care 🫰

Starting tomorrow, I will officially be on vacation. I won't out right ignore you guys if you need to get ahold of me, but please understand it may take a while.

I'll probably post daily stories on my personal Instagram account, so if anyone wants to see what I'm getting up to, feel free to follow along! ()

Until April 13th 🫡

I will be closed Saturday, February 24th for my nephew's birthday party. I've opened hours from 4pm-8pm on Thursday, the 22nd. Depending how quick those slots fill up, I may extend hours to accommodate more people.

I will be out of the shop starting Sunday, March 3rd cause I'll be traveling to Australia! My first day back will be Saturday, April 13th. I do have some people lined up who are willing and able to cut your hair if you need it while I'm gone!

I will probably add more people, but here's some to start!

UPDATE: With road conditions and appointment cancelations, I've decided to close for the day. I'm not busy enough to warrant a drive in to work. I will reach out to my remaining appointments today and reschedule.

With possible impending weather, if anyone scheduled for Tuesday would like to reschedule, there will not be a cancelation charge enforced.

I will also update here, as well as reach out to people scheduled Tuesday individually, if I ultimately decide the conditions are too perilous and need to close for the day.

It is Iowa though, so who knows what'll happen.

Christmas is almost here, make sure to book an appointment if you don't want family giving you weird looks at the get-togethers 👌

Slots are filling up quick for Tuesday and Wednesday, if you need a cut before Thanksgiving, don't wait until the last minute or you'll be out of luck!

Just as a refresher, I don't work Thursdays or Fridays, so if you're needing in before the weekend, you'll need to book for either Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'm also getting busy to the point where 9 times out of 10, trying to book an appointment for same day isn't feasible, so book ahead to guarantee you have a slot for whatever you have going on.

If you need to contact me, please either email me at [email protected] or send me a text at the listed phone number. I will not answer phone calls when I'm in the middle of a haircut, and, on my days off, I won't answer calls either unless we were texting prior.

Speaking of my days off, you can send me a text to ask about an appointment or inquiring about something, but it will probably take a while for me to respond. I will get back to you though. Please keep texting me limited to work related stuff.

Furthermore, if you need in on a Thursday or Friday, I will not be offended if you get your hair cut by my suitemate, Britt, who is the owner of Dapper Riot - if you want your haircut notes, either text me to ask or let Britt know and she can reach out to me.

Sorry for writing a novel, and I don't blame you if you didn't read it, but I wanted to clarify that I do have a life outside of work, and I'm trying to keep the two separate so that I still find coming to work and meeting you guys fun and refreshing.

Anyways, thanks for reading my "rant". Be well on this Sunday afternoon ✌️

So, I've had these made for a while, but never got around to promoting them. They're very limited, but I tried my hand at merch!

They're $25 each if anyone wants to represent my little tiny shop! If there's enough demand, I might have some shirts made, so just let me know.

UPDATE - Square is fixed, and you can book appointments again!

I wanted to inform everyone that Square, the service I use for my website, booking, and payments, has been down since earlier this afternoon. You'll be unable to book appointments until they find the issue and get it back online.

I'm here for all your hair grooming needs ✂️
Book an appointment with me at cgfades.square.site and come hang out ✌️

Follow me on Instagram at cgfades to see more of my work!

I will not be working the day of Ragbrai, Wednesday the 26th, just to lessen the congestion around Ankeny. Be kind and be safe 👌

Tuesday July 4th, I will be closed! I might get up to shenanigans, I might not, you never know with me 😂 regardless, I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th in these next few weeks! ✌️

Reminder that starting June 1st, all service prices will be increasing by $2.00!

This won't affect stand-alone appointments made prior to June 1st, but any reoccurring appointments will be changed to the new pricing once the date has passed.

Thank you, again, for your understanding and hope to see you for all your hair cutting needs ✂️

I started a Loyalty Program through Square today! For every $5.00 spent, you receive 1 point - and once you reach 40 points, you'll get 30% off your entire ticket!

When you get a service done and check out, you'll be prompted at the checkout screen if you'd like to join! 😁

Just wanted to show that I appreciate every single one of you - for sticking with me and for referring friends and family! 💜

I will not be working Sunday April 30th (4/30), as I will be in Omaha. If any of you send me a message that day, I probably won't respond until the next day. Thanks for being understanding! 😁

🚨 ATTENTION - PRICE INCREASE 🚨

Effective Thursday June 1st, I will again be raising prices of my services... cause this economy sucks ass. I will have this posted in my shop too.

I apologize for needing to do this again, but being on my own both in my business and in my personal life, I need to do this to stay doing what I enjoy.

I hope you'll understand, and if not, I totally get it. Stuff's expensive.

The price increase will be $2 on every service - cuts, beards, waxes, facials, etc. Product pricing will NOT be affected.

Thank you for reading this and for your understanding. 💜

I've had it posted in the shop, but product you buy with a service is 15% off for April! This does not include Reuzel products, but everything else counts!

I just received this email! This is a great honor being selected 2 years in a row for my small, little business! 😁

Thank you to my loyal clients 🙏
I'm so happy that I've grown this much in such a short period of time and none of this could've been possible without everyone supporting me. I appreciate you all, and I hope you will continue to choose me for any of your hair grooming needs!

Much love 💜

I do fun colors sometimes! I require a consultation prior to doing any color service, but if you want something done, shoot me a message or ask during your haircut! I'm always up for a challenge! 😁

This was adding pink to grey hair for my sweet mama! 😍

Thought I'd post a cut from this week!

I'm booked for this weekend, but have availability beyond that!

Don't forget it's daylight savings this Sunday, we'll lose an hour of sleep but we'll gain an hour of sunlight!

Stay safe out there with impending weather!

Leave me a Google Review and get 20% off your next service! 😏

Due to weather later today (1/18), if you have an appointment and need/want to cancel, the cancelation fee will be waived. Just send me a text at (641) 521-7021 if you'd prefer not to make the drive in - your safety is always top priority.

Happy New Year! 🥳

In celebration of the new year, this month (January), I will be doing $5 off any add-on services with your haircut! This means beards, waxes, facials, and colors! This deal will end on the 31st, so take advantage while you can!

I hope everyone's Holidays were fun and safe! My hours are back to normal now, and I'd love to hear about your travels and adventures 💜

Holidays are fast approaching, and my time slots are filling up fast! Don't wait too long to book your haircut, or you'll be regretting it!
