BARBER 202 / YOUR INFORMATION
Privacy, plainly.
This page explains the information used by the booking and learning features on Barber 202. Last updated October 25, 2026.
Booking through theCut
New appointment bookings take place on Patrick’s theCut page. Following the booking link takes you to an external service with its own account, confirmation, payment and privacy practices. Review those details on theCut before completing a booking. Your style choices, chat conversation and notes from this website are not automatically sent to theCut. You can copy a style note and choose whether to share it yourself.
Open Patrick’s theCut page ↗Previous website requests
If you previously submitted an appointment request directly on this website, its record may include your name, phone number, optional email, selected service and barber, preferred date and time, visit location, and notes. At-home requests may also include the visit address. The shop uses these records to manage those requests. Records can include status changes, the agreed service amount, payment status recorded by staff, and internal shop notes. These website records are separate from appointments booked on theCut.
Previous private visit links
An older website request may have a private link with a randomly generated access key. Anyone who has that link can view and manage the associated website request, including requesting a time change or cancelling when available. Keep it private. The site stores a hashed version of the access key. This link does not manage a theCut appointment; use your theCut account or its confirmation for those bookings. Call the shop if you need help.
Messages and the guided assistant
A message sent through the contact form is stored with your name, phone number, optional email, message text, and submission time so the shop can respond. Sending a message does not book an appointment. The guided assistant’s conversation stays in the current page session; it is not stored as a chat transcript by the site. The assistant can suggest styles and prepare notes for you to copy. It cannot view theCut’s live schedule, book a time or access your theCut account.
Saved cuts and learning progress
Saved style selections and Barber Academy lesson and quiz progress are kept in your browser’s local storage. They are not an account and do not automatically move to another device or browser. Anyone using the same browser profile may be able to see these preferences. You can remove saved cuts in the gallery, reset Academy progress in the Academy, or clear this site’s browser data to remove the local records.
Payments, confirmations, and site operation
This website does not collect payment card information or process an online payment. Opening a booking link or chatting with the assistant does not confirm an appointment or automatically send an SMS or email. Complete your booking and review confirmation details on theCut. The website also uses short-lived request-limit records derived from network information to help reduce automated abuse. Hosting services may process technical request information to operate and protect the site.
External links and your choices
Links to theCut, Instagram, maps, learning sources, and other websites take you to services with their own privacy practices. Avoid putting sensitive personal information in messages or style notes. For questions about a record stored on this website, a correction, or a deletion request, contact the shop at info@barber202.com or 202-607-9510. Include enough information for the shop to identify your request, but do not email payment card details or other unnecessary sensitive information. For information entered on theCut, use that service’s privacy and account controls.
