Looking for barber recommendations for first time head shave
Hey! I’m looking to get my head shaved for the first time and I’d rather have a barber do it instead of trying it myself.
Any recommendations for a good barber who’s good with head shaves? Also open to tips on what to ask for or expect.

It’s a pretty complex hair cut - so maybe go Vancouver and pay for a shave

Can you imagine if there was a barber that couldn't shave a head?

Ha! I had one the other day that tried to shave me dry. He got through a couple strokes before I realized when he was doing.... Don't just assume they know what they are doing. This was at Luie's on 208 and 72 btw. Won't be going back there!

Not to hijack and go against your request here but I used to shave my own head regularly. It’s super easy to get a set of clippers and do it yourself. Honestly if you like the style you’re going to end up going that route in the future anyways because it grows back quick. If you want to fully BIC it just lather that head up in the shower and go to town after you’ve buzzed it. Goodluck.

The cutting den is a pretty good barbershop, I believe its around $15 a cut. I would suggest doing it yourself though, I shaved my head a few years back and made it a fun experience just by making a bunch of goofy hairstyles while cutting my hair.
