You introduce us once, and we advance directly with the venue: room, credentials, parking, COI, load-in, power, signage, setup, provider scheduling and pack-out. Your production office never has to be the middleman.

“Over four years, the feedback from touring crews and our in-house teams was consistently outstanding. Doorbell Barbers became a hospitality amenity that people genuinely looked forward to. From the ease of booking through dedicated links and QR codes to seamless scheduling and consistently high-quality services, their team made the entire program effortless for us to offer. It proved to be a valuable investment in the experience we were able to provide both touring guests and our own team.”
Marc Horwitz, Assistant General Manager, Oak View Group

How it works in your advance

The same process we run as preferred vendor at PeoplesBank Arena. It takes one email on your end.

  1. Send us your dates

    Routing, venues, and how many people are on the tour. One show or a whole leg.

  2. We advance the room

    We coordinate a private room or suite with the venue, confirm access, and send our insurance certificate.

  3. You get one link

    A branded booking page and QR code for your show, plus printed signage we put up around the building. Drop the link in the day sheet or the group chat.

  4. Your crew books themselves

    Each person picks a time that fits their call and gets a text and email confirmation with the room location, plus a reminder before their slot.

  5. We run the day

    We arrive, set up, serve, and reset the space. Afterward you get a summary of appointments and services.

What comes off production’s plate.

Barbers, massage therapists, nail techs, stylists and makeup artists who are fully self-sufficient inside the venue.

No transportation

Nobody takes an Uber off-site between calls. Services happen in the building.

No schedule to manage

Crew self-books around load-in, soundcheck and doors. Production never touches a sign-up sheet.

No equipment to source

We bring chairs, tables, tools, linens and consumables. The venue provides a room with power.

No paperwork scramble

COI and advance details are sorted with the venue before show day.

No provider wrangling

Production never tracks down individual providers. Our show-day lead handles arrivals, questions and backups.

Morale people actually feel

Long runs take a physical toll. A haircut, massage or hour of recovery is a benefit crew can use that day.

Tour crews spend their days taking care of everything and everyone else. Long runs mean bunks, concrete floors, load-ins, late nights and very little personal time.

We operate the backstage wellness department for the day, so production doesn't have to. A real haircut and an hour off their feet does more for a crew on week six than another deli tray.

Know who’s coming backstage.

Every touring crew has a story about the haircut someone got from a random shop between load-in and doors. With us, your people get a vetted team every time, not a stranger in a new city every night.

Team across your run

On multi-city programs we keep the same core providers at every stop we can, so your crew isn't starting over each night. Guests can see who they're booking on the show page first.

Get served and go.

Touring artists, band and crew spend enough time being watched. Backstage with us is private, quiet and over when the appointment is.

NDAs accepted

Send your NDA with the advance and we'll sign it before show day. Every date is handled as confidential by default.

Backstage confidentiality by default

We never share who we served, what they booked or anything said in the chair. Nothing is posted about your tour without your approval.

No marketing, ever

No email lists, no promotions, no follow-ups. The contact details guests give us are used for one thing: their appointment.

Can you handle our size?

Yes. Here's one massage therapist's real show day. Staffing for your tour depends on party size, service mix, appointment length and expected participation.

One therapist, one real show day

  • 9 appointments between load-in and 8 PM
  • Crew self-booked with their own pressure and heat preferences
  • Scheduled between production calls, with breaks and a walk-up slot

    These are typical starting points, not a commitment. Final staffing depends on appointment lengths, service mix, expected participation and your show schedule, and every provider works under one Doorbell show-day lead. We confirm the team with you during the advance.

    We handle the advance.

    We confirm every detail directly with the venue before show day, and one Doorbell lead covers backups if a provider has an emergency.

    Room and power

    A private room or suite with outlets. We bring the rest.

    Credentials

    Team names sent ahead for wristbands or the guest list.

    COI and W-9

    View our full advance requirements
    Show-day leadEvery program has one Doorbell team lead. Production talks to one person, not individual providers, for arrival, questions and anything that comes up during the day.
    Backup coverageIf a provider has an emergency, we handle the replacement. Production never has to re-source a position.
    SpaceA private room, suite or dressing room with enough space for chairs, a massage table and nail stations. Massage works best in a quiet corner or a separate room.
    PowerStandard outlets for clippers, lighting and nail lamps. We bring our own extension cords and power strips.
    WaterAccess to a sink nearby is helpful for pedicures and cleanup. We bring everything else.
    Load-in and parkingOur team arrives with rolling cases. We ask for the entrance or dock to use, parking for team vehicles, and the time the room is available, then set up before the first appointment.
    CredentialsWe send our team's names in advance for credentials, wristbands or the guest list, and every provider is background-checked.
    What we wearAll black, every provider, every date. Quiet and professional, so we blend in backstage.
    SignageWe handle all of it: QR booking signs for catering, the production office and dressing room halls, room signs, and provider name cards. You just tell us where they can go.
    Booking and remindersOne booking link and QR code for your show, with text and email confirmations and reminders. Open slots stay available for walk-ups.
    Meals and breaksOur team schedules its own lunch and dinner breaks around appointments. If catering can include us in the meal count, we'll confirm our headcount in the advance.
    HygieneTools cleaned and disinfected between every guest, and fresh linens for every appointment.
    Photos and privacyNo photos of guests, artists or the room without the tour's approval. NDAs signed before show day.
    Wrap-upWe pack out, reset the room the way we found it, and send you a summary of appointments and services.

    Tour wellness programs

    Every show day is different, so every program is built around your crew size, schedule and venue.

    Tour Wellness Day

    Custom program
    quoted per show day

    A custom grooming and recovery day built around your show, with haircuts, beard work, massage and stretching on one booking link.

    Backstage Wellness Suite

    Custom program
    for larger touring parties

    Grooming, massage, nails, hair styling and makeup running at the same time, staffed to the size of your party.

    Multi-City Tour Leg

    Custom program
    across your Northeast routing

    Consistent backstage wellness at every stop in CT, NY, NJ, MA and RI, with one point of contact and coordinated staffing.

    Programs are quoted based on crew size, service mix, staffing, service hours, routing and venue requirements. Typical wellness windows run up to eight service hours between load-in and showtime, and longer production days can be staffed as needed.

    Billing that fits how your tour pays

    We work within the payment structure that fits the production or the venue, so no one is fronting a card on show day.

    Option 1

    Payment link

    A secure link to your tour manager or business manager.

    Option 2

    Through the venue

    When arranged in advance, we invoice the arena and it’s included in settlement.

    Option 3

    Venue-hosted

    The venue is billed and there’s nothing to pay on your side.

    Multi-city runs can be billed per show or as one invoice for the leg. Certificate of insurance and W-9 available on request.

    Same contact. Same booking system. Same service standard. Tours often hit Boston, Providence, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey in the same week, and we cover all five states, so every stop runs as one program.

    Questions from the road

    How many people can you take care of in a day?

    Enough for the whole touring party. For larger parties we add providers so services run side by side, all under one Doorbell show-day lead. A 50-person tour usually needs four to six providers and a 100-person tour seven to eight, depending on the services you offer. Use the planner above, or send us your headcount and we'll build the staffing plan around your show schedule.

    Will our crew get marketing emails afterward?

    No. Guests get a confirmation and a reminder for their appointment by text and email, and that's it. No marketing lists, no promotions and no follow-ups.

    Will you sign an NDA?

    Yes. Send it with the advance and we'll sign it before show day. Every date is treated as confidential whether there's an NDA or not.

    How is a program priced?

    Per provider, per show day, not per guest. Your crew books as many appointments as the team's schedule allows at no cost to them, unless the tour decides otherwise. Every program is quoted around your dates, services, headcount and hours.

    What's included in the price?

    Staffing, equipment, supplies, linens, the booking page and QR code, printed signage, reminders, setup, pack-out and a post-show summary. There's nothing extra for your production to source.

    What if a show is rescheduled or cancelled?

    Tell us as soon as you know and we'll move your team to the new date wherever we can. Terms for each date are spelled out in your proposal.

    Who do we talk to on show day?

    One Doorbell team lead runs the whole program. Production never has to track down individual providers, and if a provider has an emergency, we handle the replacement.

    How does billing work?

    We work within the payment structure that fits the production or venue. We can send a secure payment link to your tour manager or business manager, bill the venue directly when it's hosting the program, or, when arranged with the venue in advance, invoice the arena so the charge is included in settlement. Multi-city runs can be billed per show or as one invoice.

    Who usually pays for this?

    Some tours book it directly as a crew hospitality or wellness line item. Some venues host it for visiting tours, as PeoplesBank Arena does today and Total Mortgage Arena did for four years. We're happy to talk with your venue or promoter about covering it.

    What do you need from the venue?

    A private room or suite with power, a sink nearby if pedicures are on the menu, and a place to load in and park. We bring everything else, including signage, and coordinate the details directly with the venue during your advance. See our advance sheet above for the full list.

    Who can book appointments?

    Anyone you put on the list: artists, band, crew, drivers, production, catering and touring families. You decide who gets the link.

    Can you follow us across multiple cities?

    Yes. Multi-city programs keep the same booking setup and service standard at every stop. We cover every stop in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, so a Northeast run can be booked as one program. Dates outside those states can be quoted on request.

    How far ahead should we book?

    Two to three weeks gives us time to advance the room and build your booking page. Shorter notice is often possible, so call us.

    Are you insured?

    Yes. We carry general liability at $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate and send a certificate of insurance to the venue on request.
