it's a pretty sad time when men have to justify what grows naturally on thier faces. when did cutting something off that is natural become the norm? ridiculous. beard on my fellow beardsmen
Couldn't agree more.
-Parker
Agree and like ten thousands times.
All bearded men. I'm calling you out, I want to get a petition started that state corporations can no longer violate our beard freedom, and will you march with me to Capitol Hill. And force a change. Congress paid out over $30 million dollars to bearded related discrimation .
+ Razoredge Reviews were can i sing up ? Even though i only have a goatee .

I can't grow a beard, I watch these videos because I like to cry :-(
Richard Ojeda don't give up my fellow bretheren ..... you will grow that beard and become the lumberjack that everyone wished they were
# the goat inside
Get some minoxidil 😂
Hey Eric, you know your videos have been my inspiration. You know at first I was shaving every 2-4 days but after watching your videos I got to thinking that hey! If I let it grow out a little more what will my bosses say? (I work at 2 different Marriott hotels around S.F.) you know what? Nobody has said a word to me. I figure if it doesn't affect my work why should I cut it? I've been growing it for about 4 months and whooo this thing is full!!! Just last week I was approached by a guest ( whom was beardless ) while my GM was at the front desk w/ me. The guest looked at me then my beard then asked my GM why don't you have your employee cut that "thing" off his face? My GM asked him well, how was your interactions with him (me) the guest said, fine. So my GM then said okay then, you know it's not the beard that makes the man but the man who makes the beard. He's been my best front desk agent I've ever had and if him having a beard makes him happy and then I'm all for it.
Needless to say I was smiling ear to ear and it's all thanks to you brother! Beard on!
I'm a server at private sushi restaurant, love my job and company. I was hired with a small beard. I just let it grow. Last Sunday we had a large social event. Both men and women complimented my beard. I feel it is my confidence in myself. Love this video!
Mike Vizz Hell ya, that's the best. I love getting compliments about my beard.
Inspirational. There's nothing like having the confidence to wear something that beardiful on your face. Love it
+ David Brewer you're simply a genius
# beardiful xD i love it
I'm on the very ship you're describing, I get shit done, and I'm growing my 1st beard at 41! Style IS HUGE, body type, taste, and the art of manliness!
Just like there are different styles of beards, there are different styles of haircuts. A shorter, more groomed beard will be more acceptable than a longer unkept beard - just like certain haircuts are more acceptable than others. That being said, if you can pull off the long hair look along with a big beard, go for it.
If you bring style into your appearance, there is a lot you can pull off in terms of hair/beard combo.
I completely concur in regards to wearing proper clothing. Buying customs shirts and suits is not nearly as expensive as in the past. Customers and supervisors really do notice what you are wearing every day. The beard, much like eye color, is something noticed only maybe the first or second encounter. After that, the color of your eyes or the hair on your face is just who you are. Clothing, people notice every day.
I couldn't agree with you more, great video! I think there is a level of respect you get from people when they see a man with a beard and haircut that is maintained, then adding on a great individual style of fashion rocks.
work today told me i had to cut my beard... I QUIT THAT SHIT!
Dude your hair cut and beard is the bomb! Love the look! Cool!!!!!!!!
Sorry I just saw this comment. Basically, haters gonna hate. Like you have conviction following Christ - you gotta have conviction in yourself and your actions. People will feed off your confidence and welcome you in when you are yourself. It also helps to put yourself around others who support your decisions in life when you try new things.
I think where you live plays a role, too. WA is pretty liberal. So is Austin, tx. Which are the two places i've lived as an adult. I've sported a beard in both places and had 0 issues getting a job.
Since growing my stache I have earned the nickname at work "tasche man!" (Said in superhero voice over style) which I quite enjoy. As for grooming if I put the effort in and it looks good then I have a good day it's very simple. Btw I enjoyed the stroll
This video was literally the utmost inspiring words I've heard in a minute... #EricBandholz4President
Hey dude i loved the video and its a real inspiration to me to find a job that WILL ACCEPT me for who I am and not try to fit in somewhere clean shaven as i have done in the past while i sacrificed who i am be true to yourself and look good while doing it thank you brother
I need a new job so bad..I'd work for beardbrand in a heart beat!!
Good thing I have a city job DPW,thanks again for all the help and beard on my friend
This video really spoke to me. I work in the warehousing business, but im going to be going to school to open a restaurant. and at times I doubt myself but Listening to you talk has lifted my spirits. Thanks Eric!
jack Moore Feel free to comment on any of my videos or message me when questioning. Definitely easier to grow when you are around other positive people.
A moment of Zen reflection from a beard master. Kwatzz!!
dude awesome beard i am a few months away from achieving a good length on my beard . I have been grooming it for a similar look like yours . Keep it up my bearded brother .
Matt I think you nailed it. And when I say, "get a haircut" I don't necessarily mean it needs to be a short hair cut. You just need to be conscious about your style and what it means. There are lots of longer hair styles that work well with beards. Beard on brother!
We should all band together and petition the government for laws preventing employers from enforcing appearence laws that have no good reason to exist. Unless it is a legitimate safety concern (exe. Beard disrupting respirator seals, or hairs getting into restaraunt food), your boss has no right controlling the growth of hair on your face, or anything outside of requiring a uniform garment for that matter.
It's called the quiff. I've done another video on how to style it. /watch?v=KBJ6IcMx6cQ
I love hearing stories like this. So much of having a beard is owning it and people will accept it. Best of luck with your job search and beard on!
Wow. By watching this 6 minute video you made me way more confident wearing my beardy awesomness.
Glad to have helped.
You will do it my friend. Just remember, haters gonna hate and live your own life. Beard on brother!
This is my favorite Beardbrand video. Great info!
Glad you dig it, man!
-Zach
your right, one of my mates who works as an insurance salesman was asked to "get rid of his beard" by his new manager. He took it well for someone who had it growing for a month even bought beard cleams and oils, as i expected his new manager was a baby face...
george gg Man, if you are in sales it shouldn't matter if you have a beard or not; as long as those numbers are hit.
Your exactly right, and thats what i said to my mate as well but its a new rule, in australia even the police cant have beards and if they have tatts must be covered
You're fucking awesome! Beard On!
Thank you! Positive comments help me continue making more videos. :D
Have to say i love your attitude man.
Thank you friend!
Beard is awesome. Love the haircut.
I had a job where you had to be clean shaven everyday and it was a lumber company and our mascot was paul bunyan! Glad in not with that company now, now I work and can have a beard no matter the lenght look or whatever awesome!
Savage Customes Talk about irony.
Savage Beardsmen where u work?
Having a beard is fucking awesome
Great video man. It's a matter of luck that the person hiring you accepts you for who you are. Most of them don't, which is really shitty. It also varies from places to places worldwide. In my country, most people are still conversative, so for us beardsman or long haired guys, we're screwed for the most part. I'd say this is only gonna have a radical change in a few decades when all older people die or are retired at least. I still don't have a job, but when I try to get one, I'm affraid I won't find anything that allows me to be myself.
***** It's funny, when old people die, other people simply become old. Unfortunately, hatred and narrow minded ideas affect people of all generations. The goal is those percentages decrease over time. All we can do is show them what it means to wear a beard in the community and try to change their mind through good actions.
Beardbrand Hell yeah, I totally agree.
Beardbrand you have the mind of a true sage oh wise one .
Thank you !
hey Mr Eric.. there is no stuff for beard brand in Lebanon!!!
Now that's a hell of a idea, get a job at beardbran! I'm actually looking for new job now, and I work in HVAC. Who would have thought working in a trade job it would be a problem having a bread, well with the better paying companies they have a problem with it WTF! So Eric where do I turn in my resume into get a job at beardbrand😉, I also have experience in sales.
Thanks for sharing
you're fucking awesome. im definitely supporting your brand!
Really man Most Guys who have beards are in IT,Idk what the Stereotype with that is,but its True,but I gotta say that is 1 Awesome Beard,I mean you got this Wild Beard and Vanilla Ice Hair its just Hilarious Another Thing about having a Beard is People Always want your Advice,I mean from the littlest things,to Things you could Google,to Decisions in 1's life,and You always gotta explain the Cons and Pros and really get this Person thinking,idk I just always feel Smarter with a Beard,the Best Part of it is having your Son play with your beard right before bed time,that Always makes me feel Good
Love ur channel!
Awesome dude!
We are out last in the workplace environment.
Eric Bandholz I so agree with this. However I think society needs to get with the times. I don't understand how having a beard should disqualify a man from anything, especially having a job. Unfortunately it sometimes seems this way. A while back I had a nice 3 inch or so beard and a job forced me to shave. Eventually I got tired of shaving as well as the other non sense that went a long with this job and I quit. I now am growing out my beard again. Also I am currently in grad school so that I can land my dream job of being a therapist. However I know for a fact that I will never shave my face again, and especially not for a job. As you said "life is to short."
Society is simply a group of individuals. We can only change society one person at a time and it starts with those closest to us. It's happening gradually; but by the time I die; I suspect the bearded lifestyle with be much more accepted.
Beardbrand Well what's interesting is that when you look at pictures from the olden days, very few men were clean shaved, and they had access to barbers and razors but chose to have beards and mustaches. It really wasn't until the 1950's or so when having facial hair was associated with being radical because of the beatniks and hippies and what not. I just think people should be able to live their lives.
I want to either be a veterinarian, motorcycle mechanic, or some kind of leather worker. Those are all customer seeing jobs.. I am 18 and looking forward to having a beard some day!
Well what’s up? You must be like 23 now. Where do you work and did you grow that beard of your dreams?
@@Punicia Yep lol.. 24 now wow this comment is old but still no beard it doesn’t grow on the sides yet
@@iamkyleclimer Wow bro in that case I might just get on minoxidil right now. I’m 18 with a baby face and I don’t think I’m going to get any decent facial fuzz in the next couple of years. Have you ever considered minoxidil?
@@Punicia It’s about genetics bro not some special potion
@@iamkyleclimer I think minoxidil is as close to an elixir for facial hair as we can get for the moment 😂😂

Love this vid, and loving my new full beard and the confidence it has brought me. I am me, take me or leave me. Thanks BeardBrand for all the great tips.
P.S. The tea tree beard oil is coming soon and I'm honestly excited about it.
Congrats on being who you are & enjoy the oil, you made a great choice.
lel the moment someone started cutting down a tree he knew exactly where to look, good job beard
Thank you for this video! I have successfully scored two different jobs with a beard. It comes down to making sure your beard is well-kept and that the rest of your appearance is properly groomed.
Thank you, beardbrand! I have had a beard for many years. I grow tired of the "Amish jokes" and I am ready for our society to move back towards a beard-embracing paradigm.
Where are y'all located
brother this is a good one! we are there bud, our business is Advocare right now. because it solves the 2 top down falls in America today! health and finances! love the inspiration!
beard on brother man, hope you start the business up
I been growing my beard for about a month and a half now and been doing my moustache up in a handlebar, I get mixed feelings on the beard from people but everyone loves the handlebar anyway glad you talked about jobs and beards because its been difficult finding work.
Also your beard is inspirational.
beard on brother
How old do you have to be to work at beardbrand
There's a pretty wide range of ages that work here. Our youngest employee is 22 years old.
- Jack
what kind of glasses are those?
RayBan oversized Clubmasters.
Beards were so main stream in the past that America had presidents with great full beards. The razor companies hit advertising hard and sold the idea that having a beard was dirty, and that being 'clean shaven ' was cleaner. It has been a long time for its return.
If you thought having a beard and getting a job is difficult, what about muslim bearded men like me lol.
Ilm Thirst Oh man, the paranoia people have for Muslims blows my mind. It takes more work to show them you are a good person, but winning people over one by one is the only way to do it. It's the same way I try to build my life. Can't assume anyone likes me until they get to know me. Be tolerant and accepting and generally people will return the gesture.
Beardbrand Indeed, you just got a new subscriber and fan! love your tolerance and awesome replies :D
i sense a dweeb behind that beard
Right on, man. Own the beard. I work in the maintenance department for a school district during school hours and have been growing my beard for six months now. I've been getting pretty worried that my beard will be seen in a negative way. I trimmed down to about an 1 1/4'' underneath the jaw line last night and am not sure how I feel about myself. I just want to thank you for your video and encourage you to keep on putting out more inspiring stuff. Cheers.
I like your soul. it is kind and stern.
Watched all your videos, just kinda happened.
I think it's time to clean up my beard of 6 months of growth, fortunately I work maintenence my scragglyness it's not an issue.
no questions, they have already been answered in videos.
Thank you brother!
+Justin Nuckols Man, we really appreciate the love and support, and we're glad you dig the videos! Beard on, brother!
-Zach
This seems like a subject that has affected you deeply, and really it is an issue for some of us. I prefer some of those "Back of house" type jobs where I can just go about my work, but as time has gone forward, my ego has gotten bigger and I've been more willing to put myself infront of people.
I'm not sure you need a haircut, but you do need to take care of your hair. RIght now I'm rocking a full biker goatee and letting my 'stache fill in, but my hair is full-on hippie length.
i dont get it... why would you promote beards yet at the same time tell us that we shouldnt have long hair and get a hair cut? isnt that kinda the same argument people tell you about trimming your beard?
owell to each his own i suppose nice Pompadour/beard combo though once im done with this job im gonna have a long ass beard man.i always thought it was a good compromise seeing how even though i couldnt grow out my beard atleast i could grow my hair out.
to me a man can have long hair/beard :D
well I used to work as a Kitchen porter... I started growing out a nice goatee all the girls out front would stroke it and say it soft.... at first no one seemed to mind it but then things started to turn nasty... I was told to shave it off or lose my job.... so I shaved it.... but as time went on I got feed up of the job... low pay crapy hours so I retrained... got a truck licence....... sadly I don't have a job... due to some mistakes.... yeh im growing my beard back but.. I want a Job
Fuck, this is the first time i heard about beard and proud, and i have to say that is a grate equation. I live in Mexico, but i have german and french bloodline so im hairy. I hate the glabrous look of the average mexican, and i fucking hate when they saw me like a stranger because of my height, my pronounced jaw, and of course.. my hairy body. I used to shave clean my face, but i really like the bear, a few months ago i decided to grow my bear and i love it. Thnx,u give me a lot of confidence.
I love this video! Got some woodsman beard oil in the mail today and I absolutely love it already. I'm a month into my first yeard journey- and I have a feeling it's going to be a fun one. I have always felt more comfortable and confident with facial hair, and I have a feeling deep down that a full beard will be the ultimate realization of that feeling- I have never let it all grow more than 1 month; usually I opt for sideburns and a goatee at that point.
I hope you felt the love when I hugged the PC I have A Dark Brown Beard shaved head been growing since 2010 I have A job as a Retail/Field Sales & Eng. best part time job In UTAH , I'm face to face with people everyday some where stand "off age" but some except me for who I'am when they get to know me. I would like to help you out every way I can where can I get one of your shirts "THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS" Kritter. CHEERS AND BEARD ON
Hey there dude, I just wanted to take a moment to say your an inspiration, if i could have 1/2 of your self confidence well, id be a half decent man, as of today the beard begins, will be following your advice and hope to have something worthy of showing you at some not to distant point in time, as you say "beard on!".
Be yourself! I am bearded and Christain. We are not to conform to the world, but to be a shining light. Anyone that attacks the beard and wants you to shame, well that is there problem. Your deeds and actions should stand out as your character. If anyone can't see pass the beard, and judges you have more problems than surface ones.
I want to work at beardbrand!
I dig this and agree 100% with what you say here. Lucky I work in an industry where a beard is a big plus. I am lucky enough to work in the craft beer industry and I love what I do.
Christopher Jacobs Craft beer and beards seem to go hand and hand. I know so many in the industry with killer beards. It's almost a detriment if you don't have a beard.
I'm in your same position, man. At one point, I really just accepted to be different. Let people judge who you are based on your beard or the way you look. If the members of your church do that, they are going against one of the very things they stand for. Be you, like he said, life it too short.
Jesus had a freaking beard man, you must be trolling. However on the chance you are not, try this....
Buy a t-shirt with jesus face on it and put a comment on the shirt underneath like "May the grace of god be with you and my beard" or "Jesus my brother in faith and facial hair".
Let them hate then.
I'm a graphic designer and have been growing out my beard for almost 4 months now. It pretty awesome right now, but one day I hope to get to your status. Thankfully, having a beard (or some other "weird" thing) as a graphic designer is usually expected so I get no comments.
Getting more into religion made me want to grow a beard ! It says it right there in Leveticus, men shouldn't shave their faces :P as far as I'm aware Jesus and all of his disciples had beards. Hope you kept the beard man, god bless
i'm 18 and bearded and well havent really had to many jobs and ive been growing mine out for about two months and while clean and neat i keep feeling like im not getting these crappy teenage jobs because because of my beard what do i do?
Great video man...Question: I been growing by beard for a year now and I keep it as neat as possible but I decided to follow christ and it's awkward because everyone else is clean shaved and I feel l lefted out. Any suggestions or what would you recommend?
I am just starting to grow my beard now. I am glad to have seen your video. Very inspiring indeed. I am entrepreneur and I needed to have a face to face interaction with the clients. Thanks for the tips! Beard on!
Thanks for the feedback, i´m working on it. By the way, once i had a corean girlfriend and she used to clean shave my beard, she loved to do that. Good luck my friend. Am i have to say: berad on? je je je....
Whats's up Eric? Just wanted you to know all your videos and beardbrand products are epic, man. I was unconvinced about growing my beard past a two week deal and came across beardbrand. Now I'm gonna go for a yeard (thought at 20, it won't be as epic as yours dude). Thanks.... and beard on
why should you feel awkward? From what I know, clean shaven is not part of Christianity. Unless there somewhere in Christian faith, stated you must be clean shaven...only then you should feel awkward.
you sound slightly like a cross between Yoda and a character from the Muppets, in a good way. I have to wonder if that is you talking through your beard and it becoming distorted. Great video, nice strut
Bro, hire me. I'd contribute a huge part in your company if I was given a chance with whatever it would be.. I work in sales and understand immensely the whole business aspect of starting a company and what it takes to keep one going which comes with teamwork and everyone participating to make a goal happen. I believe the opinions of our workers matter and should be brought to attention to better our company. Ideas are everything and to have a boss who understands that is everything. It really makes what you do enjoyable.. Basically back to what you were saying about our beards. It's who we are. Thank you for these videos!
Dude, you inspire me to grow ny beard Long and awesome again! (I let some comments get to me and felt preasured into cutting it short)
But like you sat, its a part of me... Thanks man
I'm lucky enough to have a customer facing job, yet sporting a full beard. My manager openly told me he personally didnt like it it, but as long as i kept smart, he had no problems with me growing it longer.
cool video my dude. im 2 months in, took me a while to promote my self, to a rookie of the beard. but i am living the beard journey!. im hoping 6 months to a year.
Hey man love the videos! I'm all in on a four month beard. While it's not the fullest or thickest its mine and I love it. Its been known to be scraggly or thin or whatever you wanna call it. Better with age. I've been growing my hair out the past two years to donate too .And work's been cool with that. Do you think I could probably get away with a yeard or more? I work at a body shop in the paint dept. Wearing a full face mask that I had to wear if I were to have facial hair.
i love this video sir. im working on my first beard as we speak and im loving it so far. i do work in a face to face public job, but there are no limits on facial hair. hell one of my managers has an epic beard! lol so im going to grow mine to the fullest and FINALLY nobody can say otherwise! thanks for the inspiration!
How about if you studied finance and banking, What kind of jobs will be suitable for a beard? And your are gonna be graduated soon from a an MSc degree and you are 24 years old without having the basic amount to start your own business??
It’s a Shame when jobs dictate what you could do with your body. In regards to growing a 🧔 beard. It’s like telling what a woman can do with her body and they make a big thing about it. It should be the same with men. Having to cut there beard because of your job !
Jesus and all the prophets had beards. tell them if they follow him they should be men and grow beards like them. peace :)
Get sh!t done? Non-customer facing job? LAND SURVEYOR bro. Out in the woods and making society better.
Love the beard, love the video. The thing that really captured my attention is your sunglasses. I love them, what style of Ray ban are they?
I would probably shave before the interview and steadily grow the beard while settling into the job. Not go full hulk and grow it in the quickest time possible, but start it out as groomed stubble, grow it steadily, grow a goatee on top of it, grow it out and then start growing out the full beard
It's a shame that modern Western society has shunned beards. Thankfully, I sense a more accepting trend happening.
