About Barbare
Barbare strives to alleviate the hassle of scheduling and traveling to haircut appointments for seniors and others who have difficulty leaving their homes.
We believe that high-quality haircuts are a crucial part of any self-care regimen, and that everyone deserves a haircut regardless of their physical limitations. When people feel good about the way they look, they are empowered to improve their overall wellness.
Barbare works only with top-rated, licensed professionals who travel to meet their clients, reducing the risk and inconvenience associated with traveling to a salon.
Founded by experienced healthcare, finance, and technology leaders in 2021, Barbare operates nationwide.
Schedule Cut
Client Testimonials
How it Works
- Custom Number: The client or their caregiver texts the word “haircut” to a custom phone number created by Barbare. We then coordinate with the client or caregiver to schedule the haircut.
- Text Updates: The client or caregiver receives text-based updates: first upon submission of the scheduling request, and later upon stylist confirmation.
- Haircut Complete: The stylist arrives at the client’s location and performs the haircut. No cash exchanges hands, unless the client chooses to tip the stylist.
