LaBarbería

A two-sided marketplace for Puerto Rico’s barbering culture, in Spanish, built so the barber owns the relationship rather than the platform. Clients discover barbers on a map or in a list, see real-time availability up to a month out, book in seconds, and chat with their barber in the app. Barbers get their own profile, calendar, client list and payouts.

Three decisions define it. Barbers keep all of their earnings — payouts run directly through Stripe Connect, and the platform charges the client a flat one-dollar booking fee instead of taking a cut of the work. The barber owns their data, so profile, clients and reviews travel with them even if they leave a shop. And service types are flexible: in-shop, home studio or mobile, matching how barbers actually work rather than forcing everyone into a storefront.

Automatic push and email reminders go out twenty-four hours and one hour before an appointment, and clients pay by card or cash.
