Barbers lack standardized reference points for cutting hair, leading to inconsistency in fades and weight removal.

No purpose-built software exists that provides visual guides or overlays for barbers to consistently apply reference points during haircuts.

Augmented reality reference point overlay for barbers to standardize cutting techniques

App Concept

CutGuide Pro

CutGuide Pro is a mobile app that uses augmented reality to overlay reference points (parietal ridge, recession point, fade height, dark zone) on a live camera view of a client's head. Barbers can set and save custom reference guides per haircut style, ensuring consistency across cuts. It replaces guesswork and memory with visual precision.

Key Features

AR overlay of key reference points (parietal ridge, recession point, fade height, dark zone)
Customizable guide templates for different haircut styles (low fade, mid fade, high fade, etc.)
Save per-client guide preferences for repeat cuts
Video recording with AR overlay for training and self-review

Target Users: Barbers and barber school students in the barbering industry, solo operators to small barbershops (1-10 barbers)

Revenue Model: $9.99/mo per user subscription, free trial for 7 days
