— Behind the Chair —
Joining the House
A trade survives when it is taught. We are always glad to meet those who take it seriously.
— What Is Asked —
What the House Expects
I
Craft in Hand
Classic cutting, straight-razor work, and the patience the finish demands.
II
Hospitality
The welcome is part of the work, not a courtesy around it.
III
Presentation
A uniform is kept, and a standard well beyond the norm of the trade.
IV
Discretion
What is said in the chair stays in the chair.
V
Consistency
The same hour at every chair, on a quiet Tuesday and a full Saturday alike.
VI
Continuation
What was taught to you is taught on.
