Barbershop Schema

Definition

Barbershop schema implementation: (1) **Type**: HealthAndBeautyBusiness (sub-type of LocalBusiness); (2) **hasOfferCatalog**: list individual services as Offer entries — men\'s haircut, fade, beard trim and shape, hot towel shave, kids cut — with priceSpecification for each (price and priceCurrency: "GBP") where pricing is fixed; adding price to schema supports rich results for local service pricing; (3) **employee**: add each barber with name, jobTitle: "Barber" or "Master Barber", and hasCredential entries for their specific NVQ qualification (awarding body + level); this makes individual barber credentials machine-readable and supports queries for specific barbers; (4) **memberOf**: NHBF membership as an Organization object with the NHBF website URL; (5) **aggregateRating**: include with ratingValue and reviewCount from Google reviews — pull from actual data; (6) **openingHoursSpecification**: barbershops often close Sundays and Mondays — declare accurate hours to avoid GBP suppression from mismatch between declared and actual hours; (7) **Server-rendering**: schema must be in the initial HTML response, not JavaScript-injected; (8) **license field**: add only if specific services (ear piercing) have a local authority registration number.

Why it matters for SEO

HealthAndBeautyBusiness schema with priceSpecification and employee credential entries makes a barbershop\'s service pricing and barber qualifications machine-readable — supporting local pack Knowledge Panel accuracy and potentially enabling price rich results. Barber-specific employee entries support name-based queries ("Marcus the barber Leeds") that general business schema cannot surface.
