The Difference

Why barbers actually keep FADED.

01 — Pricing

Zero commission. Flat $30/mo.

Commission-based apps quietly take 20–30% off every single cut. FADED charges barbers one flat monthly rate — and takes 0% of what they earn in the chair.

Your cuts / month 120
Commission app (~25%) -$1,350/mo
FADED (flat) -$30/mo
You keep $1,320 more / mo
02 — Discovery

GPS live discovery.

No DMs, no dead-end phone calls. See who's genuinely available near you, right now, updated live on the map.

03 — Tax Tools

Built-in HST / GST / QST.

FADED auto-calculates the right tax per province, tracks revenue against CRA registration thresholds, and warns barbers before they're required to register. No other platform offers this.

HST GST QST

You're approaching the $30,000 CRA registration threshold. We'll help you register before it's a problem.

Why FADED Exists

I've been thinking about this for almost ten years. Back in 2017, I sent myself an email with an idea I couldn't shake: what if finding a good barber was as easy as opening an app and seeing who was actually free, right now, near you? Not scrolling through Instagram DMs. Not calling five shops and getting no answer. Just — open, see, book.

For years it stayed exactly that: an idea. Then in early 2026, I finally sat down and built it. Four months later, FADED was live — across all of Canada, not just one city, because barbers everywhere deserve the same shot.

This isn't a big VC-backed company trying to disrupt an industry. It's one guy who got tired of waiting, and built the thing he wished existed. Barbers keep 100% of what they earn. Clients find someone available in seconds. That's it. That's the whole idea.

FAQ

Good questions.

Why isn't FADED commission-based like other platforms?

Because commissions punish busy barbers the most. FADED charges a flat $30/month instead — whether you do 5 cuts or 500, we take $0 of what you earn per cut.

Is this only available in my city?

FADED is built for every city and region in Canada from day one — it's not a one-city app. We're just getting started: our first founding barbers are live in Ontario now, with more joining every week as we expand coast to coast.

How do I know my barber is legit?

Every barber goes through verification before going live on the platform, regardless of formal licensing status. Licensed barbers can also display a "Licensed Barber" badge. You can see real ratings, cut counts, and reviews before you book.

How does payment work?

Payments run securely through Stripe. Barbers set their own price and keep 100% of it — FADED never takes a cut of any booking. Barbers pay one flat $30/month platform fee. Clients pay the listed price plus a small FADED fee and standard processing.

Is there a launch promo?

Yes. Clients get their first month completely fee-free. The first 20 barbers to join get 2 months free of the platform fee — every barber after that gets their first month free.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Cancel or reschedule directly in the app with reasonable notice — no calls needed. Repeated no-shows are tracked to keep things fair for barbers and clients alike.

Do I need to create an account to book a barber?

No — you can browse the live map and see who's available without signing up. You'll only need an account to actually confirm a booking, save favourite barbers, or track your appointment history.

What cities is FADED available in?

FADED is currently live in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Richmond Hill, Belleville, Windsor, and Montreal, with new barbers and cities joining every week. Open the app to see who's available near you right now.

Can I book a barber for the same day?

Yes — that's the whole point. FADED shows who's genuinely available right now, not just future calendar slots, so same-day and even next-hour bookings are the normal use case, not the exception.

How is FADED different from booking through Instagram or DMs?

No more sending a DM and waiting hours for a reply, or scrolling a barber's story hoping they posted an opening. FADED shows real-time availability on a live map — if a barber shows as available, you can book them in seconds.

Is FADED available on iPhone and Android?

Yes, FADED is free on both the App Store and Google Play, and also works directly in your mobile browser at app.letsgetfaded.com if you'd rather not install anything.
