CARE
1) How should I wash my Beard Head?
We recommend washing your Beard Head by hand with cold water, then letting it air-dry. This is the gentlest way to clean pretty much anything. If you want to use a cleaning solution, we recommend Eucalan's gentle wash solution (offered for just $0.50 on our Website). You can also user other common cleaning solutions like Woolite or normal laundry detergent. We like Eucalan the most because it is made specifically for knit garments and doesn’t require rinsing!
2) How often should I wash my Beard Head?
That’s entirely up to you. We usually give it the “smell test.” If it’s stinky, we wash it.
3) Will my Beard Head shrink?
If you hand-wash your Beard Head as described above, then it won’t shrink. If you wash it in hot water, then it may shrink. After wearing a Beard Head for extended periods of time, some of our customers actually like to shrink their Beard Heads a tiny bit to make it fit a bit more snugly.
4) Some of the Barbarian beard braids unraveled. What do I do?
It’s possible that the braids of our Barbarian beards can come undone after a lot of wear. Fortunately, it’s quite easy to just re-braid them. Check out a YouTube video on how to braid hair, and you’ll have it as good as new in minutes! You can even try different braid styles!
SHIPPING
1) How long will my order take to arrive?
We process orders Monday-Friday, so if you placed an order during the week, it will be processed, packed, and shipped within 24 hours. From there, how long it will take to get to you really depends on the post office (USPS). We ship out of Los Angeles, CA, so if you’re on the East Coast, you can expect it to take a couple days to arrive. If you’re on the West Coast, you should get your Beard Head in 1-2 days.
International shipping times vary greatly, depending on which country and how efficient the customs office is. You should expect at least 7-12 days for international orders, although we have had instances where it has taken even longer. However, Canada/Mexico often arrive within 3-5 days. European Union countries don’t often experience long delays either. Sometimes Eastern European, African, or Asian countries can experience delays related to customs or other factors beyond our control.
We have a shipping calculator available before final checkout where you can get a shipping cost estimate and delivery time estimate. You may want to add an extra day to the delivery time estimate just to be safe.
2) What if I place an order on the weekend?
If you place an order over the weekend, we will process, pack, and ship it on Monday.
3) Where is my tracking number?
You will receive an email from USPS with tracking information when your order has been processed by us (usually within 24 hours, unless on the weekend). Sometimes emails from USPS are caught in spam filters, so make sure to check your junk email box before asking us about it.
4) Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide. However, international shipping costs can be high, so make sure you check our shipping calculator before you check out! Shipping for 1-2 Beard Heads usually costs between $15 to $20 to most countries outside the U.S., and may take 7-12+ business days to arrive.
5) What is Route+ Shipping Protection?
On your shopping cart page before checkout, you will see the option to add Route+ Shipping Protection to your order for $0.98. By selecting this option, your package will be fully insured in cases where it may be lost in the mail, damaged, or stolen. You will also receive Route's advanced real-time tracking for your package delivered straight to your phone or inbox. You can visit Route's FAQ page for more details here. For only $0.98, it's a pretty great service for peace of mind!
**We HIGHLY recommend using this service for all international packages.

MISCELLANEOUS
1) I really want a Beard Head in (a different) color. Can you make one for me?
Sorry, but we only have what is shown on our Website. If you’re really interested in a specific color or design, please email us and let us know! If enough people keep asking us to make a certain design, we’ll certainly consider it for next season! But as far as custom designs right now, you’re out of luck.
2) What about a custom patch or embroidered logo/design? Do you do that?
Unfortunately we do not offer custom embroidery services. However, you can take many of our Beard Heads to an embroidery or patch provider (like the kiosks often seen in malls) and ask them to do it for you.
3) So I can embroider a custom design, or sew a patch on a Beard Head?
You certainly can! Some of our Beard Heads are better than others for embroidering. Anything with a standard beanie (e.g. Bushy Biker Beard Head) has a great surface for embroidering or sewing a patch. Some of our more textured beanies/hats (e.g. Barbarian Roadie) make embroidery or sewing impossible. If you’re unsure, double check with us by shooting us an email!
4) Do you offer any discounts? What about free stuff?
You can get an immediate 10% discount if you sign up for our newsletter or like us on Facebook. Newsletter subscribers get exclusive access to discounts, sales, weekly and monthly contests, and random product giveaways. You should definitely sign up!
5) I’m an awesome snowboarder/skier/adventurer/personality/all around cool human. Will you sponsor me?
Maybe! Visit our Sponsorship page for more information on our sponsorship/ambassador programs! We’re particularly interested in people that shoot awesome stuff with their GoPros, or are just great photographers. Show us some examples and we may send you some free stuff!
6) Do you have any stickers? Can you send me some stickers?
Yes and yes. If you just bought or are going to buy a Beard Head from our Website, head over to our contact page to shoot us an email and let us know you want some stickers too! We’ll be happy to include them in your package. Make sure to reference your order number, name, or email address associated with your order so we can find you.
7) I need a Beard Head right away. Do you have any retail stores?
Check back with us...
8) Where are you located?
Beard Head HQ is located at 135 E Chestnut Ave., Ste. 5B, Monrovia, CA 91016. It’s not a retail location though…just our office and warehouse. That said, we can sell you a Beard Head if you want to come by in person.
9) I’m in Los Angeles right now. Can I come by your HQ and buy a Beard Head in person?
Sure. If you come by during our office/warehouse hours, you can buy a Beard Head in person. With LA traffic, it may be easier to just buy it online and wait for it in the mail though. Packages to LA usually only take a day to get there. Call or email us ahead of time if you want to drop by, just to make sure we’re in to greet you!
