Chairs free right now, near you
Put the haircut or beard style on your own face — not a model's — then book the barber who does it. The map shows chairs that are free right now, and the green pins are mobile barbers out working, who come to you.
Already researched your look? Open the studio and choose “Can’t find it? Upload your inspiration”. It stays private, is checked as hair or beard, and the source picture is discarded after it is read.
Face on, no hat, good light. About ten seconds, and it is deleted after thirty days.
Choose Hair or Beard. You see only services that barber actually performs — not a catalogue of things nobody there can do.
Book it, or have a mobile barber come to you. They get your photo before you sit down.
No sign-up, no barber picked yet
This is the same studio that runs inside every shop's page. Choose Hair or Beard, have a go on us, then find a barber below who performs the service you liked.

Beards
Choose Beard in the studio to compare facial-hair shape, length, density, cheek line, neckline and moustache connection. The preview changes facial hair only: your scalp haircut, face shape, skin, expression, clothes, pose and background stay intact.
Upload one beard reference privately if the catalogue does not contain it. We verify that it shows one reproducible facial-hair result, ignore text and QR codes, retain only the service description, and discard the source picture before replying.
Hair and Beard are separate professional disciplines. The map, mobile profiles and booking flow keep only barbers who have enabled the selected service and appointment channel.

Gold means they are on Barber Studio — you can try a cut and book. Grey means we know the shop but they have not joined yet; tap one and we will let them know somebody asked.
For barbers with no shop
You do not need premises and you do not need a booth. Switch your chair on when you start work and you appear on the map as a mobile barber, where customers near you can see you and book you. Switch it off and you are gone from it.

Straight answers
Twenty-five dollars to start, which becomes credit on your account, and $1.75 when a booking is completed. There is no monthly fee, no per-barber fee and no card kept on file. If a month is quiet, it costs you nothing.
No. A mobile barber signs up the same way and works without premises. Switch your chair on when you start and you appear on the map where customers near you can book you; switch it off and you are gone from it.
Connect your own Stripe account and the customer's card pays you directly. The money never passes through us and we never hold it. We take one per cent on shop items sold through your page, and nothing on the haircut itself beyond the $1.75.
Every customer's first preview of the day is ours — it costs you nothing and it works even if your balance is empty. Anything beyond that is your choice: you set how many extra to offer, at 20¢ each out of your credit. The default is two extra, so a customer gets three tries and it costs you forty cents. Set it to zero and previews never cost you a penny.
A customer uploads one photograph and sees a haircut or beard style on their own face rather than on a model. Hair previews preserve identity while changing scalp hair; beard previews change facial hair only. Customers can pick only services the selected barber actually performs, and the chosen preview reaches the booking.
Rounded to about half a kilometre, and rounded before it is stored, so we never hold a precise position at all. It only shows while the barber has their chair switched on, and turning it off deletes it rather than hiding it.
Yes. Mark any chair as rented and set the rate by day, week or month. The rent is charged automatically and you can see what each barber took and what they owe. Their takings stay theirs — the two numbers are never netted against each other.
