TrimCheck is on a mission to introduce the world of barbering to freelance. It cites research data arguing that approximately 80% of barbers either pay rent for a chair or split their earnings with a barbershop owner. It aims to change this scenario and boost incomes for barbers. The company has two apps; one for customers and the other for barbers. Application features include advanced scheduling, payment processing, messaging, live call-out tracking, and more. The company has onboarded 300 barbers and 2,500 consumers since its launch. TrimCheck aspires to become a source of digital credibility for independent barbers. It is working on coming out with its training academy as a step towards the aspiration above. TrimCheck will use the investment received to penetrate markets in London, Manchester and Birmingham.
