What your shop TV is doing today

  • The TV plays whatever is on, and the shop earns nothing from the best seat in the neighborhood.
  • Prices and services live on a faded sign or in the barber's head.
  • Local businesses ask to leave flyers on your counter and pay nothing for it.

What it does once it is yours

  • The screen earns

    A barbershop has a loyal, local audience. Two or three sponsor cards can cover the subscription and then some.

  • Prices are clear

    Cuts, beards, kids, seniors and add-ons, on screen, so nobody has to ask.

  • Barbers build a following

    A card for each barber with their days and specialties helps new chairs fill.

Cards a barbershop might run

You get 12. Each one is a label, a headline, a line of detail and an optional photo, and each can start and stop on dates you choose. Here are five to steal.

  • Prices

    Cut $30 · Cut and beard $40

    Kids and seniors $20. Line-up $15. Hot towel shave $25.

Questions from barbershops

How do I sell a card?

Tell a neighbor what your shop sees in a week, name a monthly price, and add their message as a card. They pay you directly. We do not charge extra and we do not take a cut.

How many sponsor cards can I run?

You have twelve cards in total to split between your own messages and sponsors however you like.

Can I still watch the game?

The screen is a web page, so switch the TV input when the game is on and switch back after.

Do the barbers need to do anything?

No. One person with the sign-in can run the whole screen from a phone.

What do I need to get started?

A TV that can open a web page, and an email address. Most smart TVs have a browser built in. If yours does not, a streaming stick with a browser or a spare laptop plugged into the TV works too. We do not ship hardware.

How much does it cost?

It is free for 7 days with no card. If you keep it, it is $49 a month for each screen, plus a one-time $99 setup. There is no contract and you can cancel from your account page.

What happens when the free trial ends?

Your screen turns off and shows a short message until you subscribe. Your cards, logo and hours are saved, and subscribing turns the screen back on within about a minute.

Will other companies' ads appear on my screen?

No outside advertising is sold on your side of the screen. The only paid messages there are ones you choose to add yourself.
