Beard and shaves, from Roswell.
Beard work happens at my shop in Carlsbad, 76 miles south of Roswell. Take US 285 through Artesia and you're here in about 92 minutes (OpenStreetMap routing).
Three bookings cover it: the beard shaped alongside a haircut, a wet shave with the straight razor, or head and beard shaved in one go.

Roswell's average humidity runs about 39%, and July tops out near 97°F with around 33 days a year at 100°F or more (Open-Meteo, 2023–25). Dry, hot air is rough on the skin under a beard, and it's the reason the hot towel matters as much as the blade. The towel softens the hair and the skin before the razor touches either, and the aftershave at the end is there to settle things down.
A shave fits an errand run.
The Straight Razor Beard Shave takes 40 min, so it slots into a Carlsbad errand day without reshaping it. The Head & Beard Shave is the longer sit, and some people pair it with the drive back by booking it last so nothing is waiting on them afterward. Either way, book the slot on Booksy before you leave Roswell, since I work by appointment only.
