Post where barbers actually look
Post the opening on a live hiring board that barbers check, share the link on your Instagram and Facebook, and tell your current barbers. A clear post with real terms gets better applicants than "chair available, DM me."
Put the real terms in the post
State booth rent or commission split, what is included, shop hours, license requirement, and your city. Barbers skip posts that hide the money.
Screen for skill and reliability
Look at their recent work, ask about their current clientele, and do a test cut or a trial week if you can. Ask for their license number and verify it with the state.
Put it in writing
Write down rent or split, client ownership, notice period, and hours before they start. Clear terms prevent most chair disputes.
Post your opening
Shops on Book My Barber SBS post openings free from the dashboard (Staff, then Now Hiring). Not using the software? You can list an opening for $29 monthly.
