theCut, the leading booking app for barbers and clients, recently introduced a new site aimed at solving this problem: Barber Booths. Let’s dive into what it is, how it works, and how to get the most out of it—whether you’re a barber or shop owner.
‍

What Is “Barber Booths”?

Barber Booths is a free marketplace powered by theCut. It’s similar to a PeerSpace but built specifically for the industry.

Barbers can:

• Browse available booths in their area
• Compare booth rent
• See shop details and photos
• Message owners directly

Shop Owners can:

• List empty booths
• Add pricing, photos, chair count, etc.
• Connect with barbers actively looking for space

Instead of searching through Facebook groups, Craigslist posts, or random flyers at beauty supply stores, everything is now organized in one location.

Features & Ease of Use

1. Location-Based Search

The booths board automatically shows barbers listings in a geographic area, with filters for price, distance, and available chairs.

2. Clear Pricing and Shop Details

Each listing includes:

• Booth rent
• Shop hours
• Total chairs
• Amenities (WiFi, backbar included, walk-in traffic, etc.)
• Photos

It’s much more transparent than traditional renting, where pricing can be vague or inconsistent.

3. Direct Connection

Barbers can message owners directly through an email. This eliminates the need for cold-calling or going from shop to shop. You even have how soon the booth is available at your fingertips.

Barber Booths vs. Other Options

Barbers find booth rentals in a lot of ways, apps, word of mouth, Facebook groups, even Craigslist. Each of which has limitations. Barber Booths streamlines the entire process by keeping everything simple for both parties.

• Word of mouth is trusted but limited. You only hear about openings through your circle. theCut expands that reach instantly, connecting shops and barbers beyond who they already know.
• Facebook, Craigslist, and online posts can work, but they’re scattered. theCut offers a cleaner experience where every listing comes from real barbers and real shop owners.

Why Barber Booths?

theCut built this tool specifically for the barber industry. While not built into the app (yet), this tool is crafted to make it super simple for barbers and shop owners to connect. Which begs the question, who is this tool best suited for?

The Barber Booths tool is ideal for barbers who are looking for a new shop, moving to a new city or are looking for a new suite. Shop owners will find this tool useful when they are first opening, have vacancies or want exposure in their city as a shop in a popular area.
