One of the most common questions we get at Billionaire Barbershop is: “Should I just walk in or should I book an appointment?” The honest answer? It depends on your priorities. Both options are available seven days a week at our Glendale shop, and both will get you a premium cut. But there are real differences worth considering.
The Case for Walk-Ins
Walk-ins are the definition of convenience. No planning required — you just show up when it works for you. At Billionaire, we have 16 barbers on staff, which means walk-in wait times are typically shorter than most shops. Walk-ins are first come, first served with the next available barber. This is great when you need a quick cut and don't have a strong preference for a specific barber. Walk-in pricing starts at $30 for a haircut and $40 for a cut and beard combo.

The Case for Appointments
Booking an appointment guarantees you zero wait time and your preferred barber. If you've found a barber whose style matches yours perfectly, booking ensures you see them every time. Our appointments are managed through Fresha — it takes less than a minute from your phone. You can see each barber's real-time availability and pick the exact time that works for your schedule. Appointments are especially recommended for premium services with Joel and for kids cuts to minimize downtime. Need help choosing? Read our guide on how to choose the right barber.
When to Walk In
- You need a cut today and don't have a booking
- You're flexible on which barber you see
- You're in the area and have free time
- You want to try a new barber for the first time
When to Book
- You want a specific barber
- You're on a tight schedule and can't wait
- You're bringing kids and want minimal wait
- You want Joel's premium service
- It's a weekend or busy period
The Bottom Line
At Billionaire Barbershop, you can't go wrong either way. Our 16-barber team keeps walk-in waits short, and our online booking system makes appointments effortless. The best approach for most clients: try walking in the first time, find a barber you connect with, then book with them going forward. That's how most of our regulars do it. Whether you walk in for a fresh fade or book ahead, we're here for you.
