How to Buy Professional Barber Tools on Layaway in 2026: No Credit Check, Step by Step
Share
The Short Answer
All Things Men offers Traditional Layaway on professional barber tools — no credit check, no interest, no financing application. You make three equal payments over 60 days and your tools ship after the final payment clears. This is the only traditional layaway program on professional barber tools from an authorized retailer in the US. Every clipper, trimmer, Bundle King kit, and Build Your Own bundle is eligible.
Why Barbers Choose Layaway Over "Buy Now Pay Later" for Tools
BNPL apps are everywhere now. Afterpay, Klarna, Shop Pay Installments — every store has one. And I get it, they're convenient. But when I built the payment program for All Things Men, I didn't go that route. Here's why.
BNPL is a loan. It doesn't always feel like one, but it is. It creates a credit line or a debt obligation, it can affect your credit score, and if you miss a payment the fees hit fast. For a barber who's already managing tight margins — especially a new barber or someone rebuilding after time off — that's not the foundation I wanted to offer.
Traditional layaway is different. You're not borrowing anything. You're reserving something. You pay what you agreed to, in three equal pieces, over 60 days. No interest added. No credit checked. No debt created. When the final payment clears, the tools are yours — fully paid for, fully warranted, with nothing hanging over you.
That's why we do it this way.
| Traditional Layaway (All Things Men) | BNPL (Afterpay / Klarna / Affirm) | |
|---|---|---|
| Credit check required | No | Sometimes (varies by amount) |
| Interest charges | Never | 0% only if paid on time; deferred interest on some plans |
| Affects credit score | No | Can with soft or hard pull depending on provider |
| Late payment fees | No (7-day grace period) | Yes, on most providers |
| Debt created | No (you own nothing until paid) | Yes (it's a loan or credit line) |
| Tools ship | After final payment | Immediately |
How All Things Men's Layaway Works: Step by Step
Step 1: Browse and choose your tools
Select any eligible product — a standalone clipper, a trimmer, a Bundle King kit, or a custom Build Your Own bundle. Add it to your cart.
Step 2: Choose Traditional Layaway at checkout
At checkout, select the Layaway payment option. You'll see your three-payment breakdown immediately — each payment is exactly one-third of the total order value.
Step 3: Make your first payment
Payment 1 is due at checkout — 33.34% of the total. This reserves your tools and locks in the current price. Even if the price changes between now and your final payment, your price is locked.
Step 4: Make payments 2 and 3
Payment 2: 33.33% due on Day 30. Payment 3: 33.33% due on Day 60. You'll receive reminders before each due date.
Step 5: Tools ship after Payment 3
Your order ships after the final payment clears. Same carriers, same timeframes as any standard order.

Common Questions About the Layaway Process
What if I miss a payment? There's a 7-day grace period on each payment. If you need more time, contact All Things Men before the due date. A 20% cancellation fee applies if you cancel after starting — waived if you choose store credit instead of a refund.
Can I add items after I start? No. Layaway orders are fixed at checkout. Start a new layaway for additional items.
Can I combine layaway with a discount code? Yes. Any active discount code applies to the total before the payment split is calculated.
Can I put just one clipper on layaway? Yes. Layaway is available on single eligible items, not just full kits.
Do I get a warranty even though I haven't received the tools yet? Yes. Your warranty begins the day the tools ship, not the day you start the layaway.
Can I use layaway for the Build Your Own bundle option? Yes. Custom bundles are treated exactly the same as pre-built Bundle King kits for layaway eligibility.
Why This Program Exists
I'm a licensed barber. I've been in shops. I know exactly what it costs to start in this profession.
By the time you factor in a professional clipper, a trimmer, blade care, oil, guards — you're looking at $200 on the low end and $600 or more if you're building a serious setup. That's before you've made your first dollar cutting hair. And for a lot of barbers, especially those coming out of school or getting back into the profession after a break, that number is a wall.
BNPL options exist but they're not available to everyone. Not everyone has the credit history. Not everyone wants to take on debt to buy tools. Some barbers are self-employed and cash-flow-focused — a loan for clippers doesn't fit how they run their finances.
I built the layaway program because I didn't want that wall to stop anyone from getting the tools they needed to work. Three payments. Sixty days. No credit check. No interest. No debt. Just a plan that gets you where you're trying to go.
That's what makes All Things Men different from every other barber supply store in the country. See the full layaway program details →
