Haircuts, from Roswell.
My chair is in Carlsbad, 76 miles south of Roswell on US 285, with Artesia at the halfway point. Call it 92 minutes each way (OpenStreetMap routing), which is long enough that the haircut you book should match the kind of trip you're making.
Three cuts are on my Booksy menu. One is quick, one adds the beard, and one turns the visit into the whole afternoon.

Errand day or barber day?
If Carlsbad is one stop on a list, the Essential Haircut keeps you in the chair for 40 min and sends you back out with the neckline razored clean. If you've driven 92 minutes for the haircut alone, the Luxury Grooming Experience makes more sense of the mileage: consultation, cut, beard sculpt, wash, steam, two hot towels and a fragrance finish in one sitting.
The Signature Cut sits in between, and it's the one to pick when your beard needs lining up with the cut.
The three on the menu.
