Haircut Now doesn't provide the capability for barbers to add specific services directly. Instead, our platform allows clients to specify the type of haircut they need, such as for an adult, senior, or child, and set their desired budget. We then send these requests to all barbers within a 15-mile radius of the client's location. As a barber, you have the option to accept, ignore, or counter the client's offer with a different amount for the service. This system ensures that clients receive timely responses and barbers have the flexibility to manage their engagements efficiently.
