How do you promote a grand opening for your barbershop?
Skip the photographer. Open on the barber chair, empty and lit, then a clipper buzzing to life. Second line: the date, the address, the walk-in hours. Third: the opening-week price. That's the whole spot, and it runs fifteen to twenty seconds in 9:16 for Stories and Reels, square for Facebook, and 16:9 for the screen in your window. One render, not a day of filming. The studio composes it from photos on your phone and your shop's colors pulled from your website — you pay for the render, capped before you approve, and nothing else.

From the guide to barbershops
Put the price list and the walk-in hours on screen
Men book on practicality. 'Skin fade 22 euros, beard trim 12, walk-ins until 7pm, Tuesday to Saturday' is the whole pitch, and it saves you a dozen messages a week. If you take bookings through an app, say which one. If you keep a walk-in chair free, that is the strongest line you own, so put it on screen while the razor shot plays. End with the street name, not just the postcode.

Format, length and the variants to keep
Render 9:16 at 15 to 20 seconds for Stories and Reels, then a 1:1 cut for feed posts and local groups. A 16:9 version fits your website header and any screen in the window. Make a second variant that swaps "Opening Saturday" for "Now open" and re-render it the night before, so the same footage keeps working after the doors are open. Both versions stay in the project.
Open your doors with a short video that names the date and the addressA brief you can paste
Paste this into the studio chat, or change the names and numbers first.
A 15-second vertical video for our barbershop's grand opening. Open on the chair and clippers, then three quick shots: the shop front, a fade being cut, the waiting area. On-screen text: Grand Opening, then our address and opening date, then 20% off all cuts this week. Upbeat music, cuts on the beat. End on our logo, walk-in hours, and the address held for two seconds. Casual male narration, one sentence.
Questions people ask
Do I need a professional shoot for a grand opening video?
No. Upload photos or clips from your phone — the chair, the sign, a haircut in progress. The studio composes the cuts, text and music around what you already have. No shoot means no day lost and no separate crew invoice.
What should the first second show?
The chair or the clippers, not the logo. A logo animation costs you the one second a scroller gives you. Open on the thing that says barbershop before the words do — the date and address come right after.
