Smart Barbershop Platform

Your style, perfectly remembered.

One-UP connects you with your barber. Book appointments, save references, and always leave looking exactly how you want.

Coming soon

For iPhone. Free to start.

How it works

  1. Photograph

    Four shots: front, both sides, chin up. In the app, in half a minute.

  2. Read

    Length, texture, beard, face shape — and a cut that goes with them.

  3. Show it

    One screen your barber can work from, instead of a description you have no words for.

The analysis

Words for the thing you cannot describe

Most of us sit down and say “the same as last time”. One-UP reads the photos and fills in the rest — length, texture, beard, face shape — then writes it out as an instruction a barber can actually follow. You can still change your mind. Now you can change it out loud.

The One-UP session screen: photos from four angles with the written specification below them.

Before and after

See what actually changed

Take the photos before the chair and after it. One-UP lines the two sessions up and names the difference instead of leaving it to memory. Next time you will know whether to ask for the same again — or for something else.

Your history

Every visit stays where you left it

Sessions, visits and the barber’s note keep their order and their photos. Half a year later you can still point at the haircut that worked.

Appointments

The next one is already written down

Keep the date, keep the shops you come back to, find the ones nearby. Barbershops with a One-UP account carry our mark.

About the photos

They are the most personal thing this app asks for, so here is the short version. The full policy comes with the app.

  • Analysed, not recognised. We build no face template and match you against no one.
  • Your photos stay on your phone. They go to the model for as long as the analysis takes and are gone from our side the moment the result comes back — in both versions, paid and free. What we keep is the description, not the picture.
  • Helping train the model is a separate switch, off by default. Saying no costs you nothing in the app.
  • Your data comes back out. The app builds you a ZIP of everything it holds — free, whether you subscribe or not.
  • No ads. No selling data.

What it costs

Free

EUR 0

Three hair analyses a month, your whole history with no limit, the card for your barber, and an export of everything the app holds about you.

One-UP Plus

EUR 4.99 / month · EUR 29.99 / year

Analyses without a limit, and the before-and-after comparison of a visit. Everything in the free plan stays where it is.

The subscription renews itself until you turn that off, at least 24 hours before the period ends; you manage and cancel it in your Apple ID settings. Prices in euro — Apple converts them to your currency.

One-UP for BarbersComing

The second app — the one on the other side of the chair

The same visit seen from the barber’s side: the shop calendar, clients, opening hours and price list — and, next to the upcoming appointment, the card the client handed over. For iPhone and iPad, one shop, up to eight barbers. It is being built now and ships after the client app.

  • A card instead of memory. The client picks what to hand over; the handover belongs to one visit and expires with it.
  • The team calendar on an iPhone at the chair and an iPad at the counter — one shop, eight barbers at most.
  • This app stores no photos of clients. The barber gets the description; the pictures stay on the client’s phone.
  • A shop with an account carries the ONE UP mark in the client app, and a public profile on one-up.one.
The barber app: the day’s schedule, the next appointment, and under it the card handed over by the client.

From the app being built. Sample data — the shop, the clients and the note are made up.

What is inside

  • The team calendar

    The shop’s day in columns — one per barber, with the grade under the name and a line at the current hour. Hours outside work are greyed out, so you see not only who is free but when they are in the shop at all.

  • Clients and their history

    A client joins by scanning their code and confirming on their side — the scan alone is not enough. What stays with each of them is what the barber wrote down: the note, past services, appointments.

  • The client’s card, next to the appointment

    Not a separate tab but a section on the upcoming visit: zones, lengths, remarks. The client picks what to hand over and can take it back; the handover expires with the visit.

  • Services and the price list

    The base price list belongs to the shop, but every barber can hold their own rate for the same service. Colour takes a range instead of a single number, plus a line on what the quote depends on.

  • The shop sets the grades

    The skill ladder is the shop’s own free text, not our list of three rungs. The grade stays with the shop when a barber leaves — certificates and awards travel with them, because they are theirs.

  • Hours as an intersection

    A barber sets their hours within the shop’s hours. If the place closes at six, nobody books at seven — the schedule is the intersection, not the sum.

  • A public profile and a QR code

    A shop with an account carries the ONE UP mark in the client app and gets a public page on one-up.one. One scanner does two jobs: a barber joining the team, and a client being added.

  • The team and the subscription

    One shop, eight barbers at most, the owner included — and a separate path for someone working alone. You pay per active barber, so a two-person shop is not subsidising anything beyond that.

What the first release deliberately leaves out: online booking on the client’s side, photos of clients, several shops under one brand, and importing a database from another app. The material booking will be built from — services, hours, photos of the shop — goes in now.

The same shop on an iPad

The layout follows the size class, not the model: on an iPad the list of sections stands fixed on the left and the shop’s day spreads into columns. What decides the content is something else — the mode. A device set as the shop’s shows the whole place; the phone in a barber’s pocket shows their day.

Reception on an iPad: the day’s numbers, the chairs, the next appointment and the whole schedule for today.
Reception. The client’s card is not here and will not be: a device on the counter sees the appointment and the service, not the client’s request.
The team calendar on an iPad: a column per barber, a line at the current hour, greyed-out hours outside work.
The team calendar — a column per barber, the grade under the name, a red line at the current hour.
