Built for the chair.
Shears is a booking platform for independent barbers and small shops. The big incumbents charge $150 to $250 a month and take a cut of every appointment. We think the barber should keep what the barber earns.
Why Shears exists
Independent barbers run real businesses. They deserve real software — one flat price, no commissions, no lock-in, no gatekeeping. Cut sharp. Book sharper. That's the whole product philosophy in three words.
