Old school barbering and epic nerdery in Batavia, IL
Classic Haircuts • Epic Beards • Straight Blade Shaves • Alchemy
We are called Beardsgaard because we craft beards particularly well, not because it is all we do. Beards (and the shaving of them, a trait unique to barbers) are just the beginning. We often say, “whatever you do, do it well.” And that we do, for every client, every day, every time.
Our haircuts are old school barbering at its best, the classics that have always and will always make men look their best, executed with the traditional techniques passed down by generations of barbers.
The best barbershops provide more than just services, they offer true service, expertise, tools, guidance, a community center, a gathering space, and a place to feel at home. We take pride in offering all that and more, complete with our very own line of handcrafted products, River Peak Apothecary.
Greetings, nerds! Welcome home. We built this place for you, to bring you everything you ever dreamed you could find in your friendly neighborhood barbershop, and a stupid amount more. Because whatever we do, we go way the hell overboard in the best way possible.
With a history stretching back thousands of years, barbers have served kings and commoners alike, but make no mistake, we’re not frozen in time. We have been traveling from the dawn of it to the end in our stories and imaginations since childhood.
Sci-fi, fantasy, comics, video games, science, and pop culture have immersed us since we knew what these things were. Now we have this place, grown from a seed of an idea and a name into whole universe of lore and canon, limited only by our imagination. There is certainly no shortage of that around here.
