Dear Good Life Client, Thank you for sticking with us through this challenging time! We continue to be very diligent about sanitation and masking and thank you for doing the same. We also continue to have reduced capacity to ensure there are a limited number of people in the shop at any given time. We have experienced greatly reduced demand as gents stretch out their haircut intervals, avoid exposure altogether, or get backyard cuts. Each barber’s earning power has been reduced as a result (50 to 60% if all goes perfectly). That all said, we find it necessary to change our cancellation policy to a minimum four hour window. This will give the barber some chance of filling the spot. We also ask you to consider, on your next visit, paying your barber (tip line) for their time if you for some reason miss an appointment. Again, we truly appreciate your business and hope we’re all out of the woods soon!

The Good Life crew is taking a break this week. We have a tradition of closing between Christmas and New Years. We will be ready to let the clippers fly on January 4, 2016. These are pictures of the Vidotto/Munn house on Christmas Eve. The luminarias blessing our driveway are a big New Mexico holiday tradition as well as the amazing New Mexican feast that Ryan's wife Mandy prepared for us❤️
