Questions about hiring barbers

Can I see a barber's actual cuts before I interview them?

Yes. Barbers on Vetano post short videos of their own work, including fades, lineups, and beard shaping. You review the work first and interview only the barbers whose cuts match your shop.

Do you have booth-rent barbers as well as employees?

Yes. Barbers set what they are looking for on their profile, including booth rent, commission, or hourly, so you can filter for the arrangement your shop actually offers.

How do I know the barber in the video is the person applying?

Every Vetano profile clears government-ID verification before it can be seen by an employer. The identity behind the videos is confirmed. Vetano does not verify licenses or certifications.
