Des Moines has quietly become one of the Midwest's most dynamic cities, with a booming insurance and financial services sector, a revitalized downtown, and a population that has grown steadily for a decade. The barbershops in the East Village, along Ingersoll Avenue, and throughout the metro serve a clientele that increasingly expects modern convenience — including having their phone calls answered on the first ring.

Financial District Creates Weekday Rush

Des Moines is the insurance capital of the world, home to Principal Financial, EMC, and dozens of other major employers. The professionals working in these companies call barbershops during lunch to book after-work cuts. If nobody answers during that narrow midday window, the opportunity is lost. These clients do not call back — they find a shop that answers or use an app to book elsewhere.
