Built for barbers.
By people who care.
Fade was founded on a simple belief: barbers shouldn't lose 3-5% of every transaction to payment processing fees. We built a platform that covers it all — so your earnings are yours.
"You'll lose thousands to fees — and that's just accepted."
Platforms like Booksy and Blismo charge 3-5% on every transaction. For a barber doing $5,000/month in payments, that's $150-$250 in fees every month — over $2,000 a year lost to processing costs.
We asked: why should the platform profit from every haircut? So we flipped the model. Pay one flat subscription. Keep every dollar you earn. No percentage fees, ever.
What drives us

Barbers are artists. We build tools that respect the craft and get out of the way.
Zero Fee, Zero Compromise
No hidden cuts. No per-transaction percentages. Your earnings are yours.
Built for Independence
Every barber controls their own schedule, clients, and funds — even in multi-barber shops.

We succeed when barbers succeed. Every feature starts with a real barber's problem.
