Why theCut Is the Best App for Barbers
To make it in this game, you need a system that helps you run your business and connect with your clients.
Whether you’re cutting in a shop, a suite, or you’re fully mobile, success starts with being organized and accessible. Using a booking app simplifies your day-to-day, so you can focus on your craft—not administrative work that slows you down.
That app is theCut. Built specifically for barbers-from student barbers to shop owners, solo operators to mobile pros-theCut helps you manage your schedule, grow your clientele, and maximize your income—all from one place.
But theCut is more than just a tool–it’s a movement built by people who get it.
Why We Built theCut
We were clients first—tired of waiting 2–3 hours just to get in a chair. We’d pull up to the shop without an appointment, hoping for the best. But we knew: there had to be a better way.
When we looked around, we noticed something was missing. There were plenty of booking apps—but none designed exclusively for barbers. Most were salon tools trying to stretch across industries. We saw an opportunity to build something better: a product that respected the craft, culture, and grind of barbering.
So we built theCut. We bootstrapped it from day one, listening to barbers and improving the app based on your feedback. And we’ve kept it simple: one app that supports every user type—clients, barbers, and shop owners—no need to download three different apps to make it work.
What We Offer
theCut makes it easier to:
- Book and get paid: Seamless scheduling and payment options—no more back-and-forth texts or hunting down cash.
- Manage your clients: Track notes, send personalized messages, and build lasting relationships.
- Run your business: Set policies, block off time, and track your revenue with built-in analytics.
