DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has launched a new online scheduling service for barbershop appointments at select locations.
The initial rollout includes 33 locations under contract with Gino Morena Enterprises (GME). Scheduling is available at GMEHair.com/locations, where individuals can select their installation, preferred barber, services and appointment time.
Online scheduling brings more convenience for customers, eliminating the need for walk-ins or phone calls to set up appointments. Services can be pre-paid online, making barbershop visits more time efficient.
“Online scheduling brings another level of convenience to Soldiers, Airmen, Guardians and their families,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “Haircuts and grooming options are an important part of military life, and we’re pleased to provide a more streamlined process for our communities.”
Exchange barbershops offer a variety of grooming services for men, women and children. All are staffed by licensed professionals experienced in military-style haircuts.
Online booking for GME locations will be integrated directly into the Digital Garrison mobile app for Army installations, tentatively planned for July 12. Scheduling through the app will include Great Clips barbershop locations at Fort Bliss and Fort Cavasos.
Online scheduling will be rolled out to more barbers, beauty salons, nail salons and day spas in the future.
