Hair of the Dog Barber & Pub Website + Photography
When the owner of Hair of the Dog Barber & Pub in Kingston reached out to us, we were immediately intrigued. It’s not every day you get the opportunity to build a website for such a unique business — part classic barbershop, part laid-back pub, and 100% personality. They needed a website that captured their unmistakable vibe while also functioning as a seamless extension of their customer experience.
From our very first meeting, it was clear that authenticity mattered just as much as usability. The client wanted something that looked and felt like them — gritty yet polished, welcoming yet cool, and fully integrated with the third-party booking system they relied on to keep the barbershop running smoothly.
We started with a discovery session and then quickly moved into content creation. Our team spent time on-site for a custom photography and video shoot, capturing everything from the vintage chairs to the carefully poured pints. We wanted to showcase not just the space, but the energy — the kind of place where getting a fresh cut and grabbing a cold drink go hand-in-hand.
The result was a WordPress website that delivered exactly what the client was after: the perfect balance of form and function. Visually, the site reflects the quirky, rugged character of the brand. Functionally, it integrates smoothly with their booking system, making it easy for clients to book appointments with their preferred barber without friction.
In the end, we didn’t just build a website — we helped bring a truly distinctive Kingston business to life online, setting Hair of the Dog apart from every other barbershop in town. It’s one of those projects where design, storytelling, and strategy all clicked — and we’re proud to have been part of it.
