When is The Chair launching?
We’re opening in Toronto in Q2 2026 with our founding cohort of 50 independent barbers. Early access invites go out month by month, so sign up to lock in your spot.

Yes — completely free, forever. Clients pay the barber directly for the cut. We don’t add booking fees, surge pricing, or hidden charges.

 

Instagram shows you a feed. Google shows you a list. Neither lets you actually book. The Chair is portfolio-first and booking-native — you see the work, you see the availability, you book in three taps. No DMs, no phone tag.

 

A flat $20/month subscription — no commissions on bookings, no per-cut fees, no take rate. The price unlocks when we reach our first 50 barbers in your market.

 
Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa in late 2026, followed by NYC, Boston and Chicago in early 2027. Density before breadth — we’d rather own a neighbourhood than skim a continent.
