@_jacksmith dunno. negotiate with bevel to offer discounts for trims at selected barbers through this app? negotiate with bevel to co-market this app in exchange for something that benefits them? use this app as a platform to connect bevel to new barbers and take a cut? (pardon the pun)
@cynicalgrinch i would imagine these barbers already have tools that they are comfortable with (eg: buzzers, scissors, etc). At the price of $199, a barber could buy 4-5 buzzers over the course of a life time. I've been using the same buzzer for the better part of 5 years. I just add oil every couple of months to keep the blades moving.
@cynicalgrinch @_jacksmith ...exactly that would be a very interesting partnership around outreach/marketing. Tristan Walker is the founder of Bevel and already has a great deal of marketing and momentum behind the new brand he has a pretty large list I can imagine of barber shops in key cities they can connect with on day 1 basically, Bevel also raised $50 million so I'm sure it wouldn't be a stretch to say they wouldn't be open to offering some king of discount...it could be a great long term partnership really.
@songe_laron @davesalvant This looks great ha I was just getting a haircut the other day and they kept telling me to call beforehand, no one calls lol and I've had horrendous experiences in the Bay when I first moved here going to Salons and no one knowing how to cut my hair.
Their also is a discovery problem especially for new barbershops moving into new neighborhoods...excited to see how you guys are going to address this in various cities. Where most of them basically stay hidden for quite a bit if the location isn't ideal prime.
I'd love to grab coffee with you guys and hear more about this!
Btw what's your personal recommendation for a good barber in the Bay Area?
@nicholassheriff @davesalvant Thanks Nicholas, those are exactly the problems we are solving! In the Bay Area I would recommend San Francisco Barbershop in the Mission. Excellent barbers and they cut all kinds of hair. Would love to catch up some time, shoot me a DM on Twitter @songelaron
Finally a product that solves one of the eternal struggles in a man's life - getting a fresh cut! Can't wait til Squire's in LA! 💌
@songe_laron, first off, this product looks great. I'd love to see something like a StyleSeat specifically for men's barbers develop here. My only concern is that I need to know if a barber is capable of cutting black hair before I make an appointment. So any filters for this would be excellent.
I just moved to Brooklyn from DC so am hoping to give this a shot!
@getbrandflakes Thanks for the feedback Brandon. Filters are coming soon. In the meantime, we have an in app concierge feature and you can ask for recommendations for barbers that specialize in certain cuts/hair types.
Awesome! When you want to launch in Portugal, hit me up. I own the major beard care company here and I can get you to the right people. Keep up the good work.
@ianmayman Hi Ian, thanks for checking us out from across the pond. We've actually received a lot of demand from the UK and hope to be expanding soon. I will be sure to keep you posted.
@songe_laron @davesalvant huge congrats guys! came a long way since WWLabs =] definitely trying this for my next NY cut.
Squire is amazing! As a foreigner new to the Bay, it helped me find a great place to get a haircut with no hustle. Great product 👌🏾
I have used Squire in NYC -- I booked the first cut of the day at a shop a few weeks ago and the owner of the shop texted me personally to let me know he was running a bit late, and we seamlessly rescheduled for a bit later. Awesome experience, especially if you are new to a city and looking to find the best place and price for a cut. The barber also told me shops love Squire because they charge a flat fee per booking, not a commission like some of their competitors. Good luck, @songe_laron!
@camero_n Thanks for the support Cameron and I'm glad you enjoyed your experience.
I love Squire. Made it super simple to get a haircut. i never have to stress about carrying cash to get a haircut!
