Job Description

Now taking barbers and stylists in Albany. We are opening The Capital Region (Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs) to mobile bookings and need licensed barbers and stylists based here who want steady, app-booked clients without renting a chair. This listing is for the Albany area only; if you are elsewhere, search for the StylesGo listing in your own city.

About StylesGo Mobile Barber & Stylist Service

StylesGo is the premium on-demand grooming platform that brings barbers and stylists directly to clients, whether at home, in hotels, at weddings, or in healthcare facilities. We handle bookings, payments, and logistics so you can focus on your craft and earning.

Our mission is to create opportunities to uplift the world through acts of service.

You set your own schedule and choose the appointments you take. We are looking for licensed barbers and stylists who want to take mobile appointments in homes, hotels, offices, events, hospitals and senior care communities, and we are adding more in Albany as bookings grow.

Why Join Us?

No studio required. You travel to the client.

Clients booked for you via the app; fewer "slow days."

Flexible schedule: you decide when and where you work.

Payouts through Stripe when you go live.

Access to special event bookings (weddings, corporate, hotels) and mobile service routes that command premium rates.

Opportunity to make real-world impact as you serve those in need like the elderly, children, wheelchair users, and more.

This Is a Mobile Job:

There is no shop. You travel to each client's location, bring everything you need, and leave the space the way you found it. Please read this before applying:

You need a complete portable kit: clippers, trimmers, shears, combs, capes, neck strips, a mirror, and your sanitation supplies (disinfectant, barbicide, fresh towels). A portable chair or mat is a plus.

You set up on arrival, work from your kit, and clean up fully when you're done, including hair and product on floors and surfaces.

You need reliable transportation to get to appointments on time.

What You'll Do:

Provide high-quality barbering/hairstyling services (fades, trims, beard work, women's cuts, etc.) at clients' locations: homes, hotels, events, healthcare settings.

Use the StylesGo Barber App to accept appointments, manage your schedule, and track earnings.

Travel reliably to client locations with your mobile kit, arriving on time and prepared, and clean up after every service.

Consult with clients, recommend appropriate styles/products, deliver personalized service.

Maintain strict sanitation, professional equipment, and mobile service standards.

Build and maintain client rapport to generate repeat business and referrals.

What We're Looking For:

A valid, current New York Barber or Cosmetology license. This is required.

A background check. Every provider on StylesGo passes one before going live.

Minimum 1 year professional experience preferred (mobile experience a plus).

Excellent communication and client-service skills.

Your own complete mobile kit and reliable transportation to travel to clients' locations.

Comfortable using a mobile app for job acceptance and tracking.

Self-motivated, punctual, and dedicated to delivering premium on-demand service.

Compensation & Pay Structure:

Providers currently receive 70% of the service price, plus 100% of tips, minus card processing fees. This rate is subject to change and may vary by market.

Daily & weekly auto-payouts; optional instant-payout upgrade available.

Example: on an $85 mobile service, you receive $59.50 plus 100% of tips, minus card processing fees.

On StylesGo's subscription service, you get a consistent $100 a month for 2 haircuts.

Opportunities for higher earnings via event bookings and premium service upsells.

What to Expect After You're Approved:

StylesGo launches city by city. Once you're approved, it can take a couple of weeks before appointments start coming in while we bring on enough barbers and stylists in your area to open it to clients. Approved providers are notified the moment their area goes live, and being on the platform early means you're first in line when it does.

Perks:

Mobile service model: no fixed shop, you set your schedule.

Premium client base: homes, hotels, weddings, healthcare clients.

Growth opportunities: referral bonuses, event booking access, lead-generation support.

Professional toolkit: you bring your craft, we bring the clients.

How to Apply:

Apply here, then complete your onboarding in the StylesGo mobile app. Your application gets you a text and an email from our team within minutes; the app is where your license, ID and profile are reviewed and approved.

Important: StylesGo has two apps. One is for clients who book services, and one is for barbers and stylists. To complete your onboarding, please download "StylesGo for Barbers" (not the client app):

Apple App Store: -for- barbers/id6753912711

Google Play Store:

You have 7 days from the day you log in to upload all required application materials including your license, IDs, etc. After that, we review your application. Incomplete profiles are automatically rejected.

Upon approval, remember to connect your Stripe account so you're ready to accept mobile appointments when your area launches.

StylesGo is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome applications from all licensed barbers and stylists, including those who specialize in mobile services, event work, or flexible schedules.

Work Location: On the road, the Capital Region (Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs). This is a mobile role, you travel to clients across the area.
