get the cut you've always wanted.

most bad haircuts start with a guess: a blurry screenshot, a vague description, a barber picked because he was close. KALOS swaps the guess for your own face, your look from three angles, and barbers ranked by how well they cut it.

from the idea to the mirror.

six steps. the first three happen on your couch, the last three in the chair.

Marcus has your look.

he usually answers in about 12 minutes.

a yes in a tap

your barber accepts, passes, or offers another time.

rated by the people in the chair.

after every cut, the client reacts like it’s a text. those reactions become a barber’s hearts, so the score reflects real, booked haircuts.

one tap after the cut

not it, pretty good, they cooked, or nailed it. that’s the whole review.

nailed it = 5 hearts

each reaction is worth hearts. a barber’s score is the average.
