The Psychology of Music in Your Shop

Mastering barber shop playlist psychology is essential for modern barber shops.

In the competitive world of barbering, understanding barber shop playlist psychology can be the difference between a thriving shop and one that struggles to pay the rent.

At Operation Glass Door, we believe in systems, not guesswork. Here are 3 proven strategies to master this area of your business.

1. Tempo Matters

Fast music makes people move faster (good for rushes). Slow music relaxes them (good for luxury shaves).

2. Volume Control

If clients have to shout, it's too loud. It ruins the consultation.

3. Curated Playlists

Don't use radio with ads. It sounds cheap. Invest in Spotify Business or a curated service.
