Honest status: QuoteZila is pre-launch. Customers cannot post jobs yet, and no businesses are listed yet. This page explains how QuoteZila will work for barbers, and for homeowners who need one. We are signing up local businesses first, starting in Cheshire.
What does a barber do?
A barber cuts and styles hair, typically men's and boys' hair, and shapes beards, in a shop or on a mobile basis. Typical services include:
- Short back and sides, skin fades and tapers
- Beard trims, shaping and shaves
- Hot towel shaves
- Children's haircuts
- Hair for weddings and events
- Mobile barbering for care homes and at home
What should I check before hiring a barber?
General guidance, whichever way you find someone:
- Show a reference photo and agree the style and length before they start.
- Ask about hygiene: clean tools between customers, and how razors are handled.
- If you have a sensitive scalp or skin, tell the barber beforehand.
- For group bookings, such as a wedding party, ask about timings and deposits.
QuoteZila plans to show customers what we checked about each business and when. Those labels describe checks only and are not a guarantee of any business or its work.
How will QuoteZila help me find barbers near me?
- Post your job for free. Describe the barbering work and where you are.
- Matched local businesses send quotes. Each job is planned to go to a small number of suitable businesses, not the whole town.
- Compare. See what each quote includes, ask questions and review what has been checked.
- Choose. Pick who you want and agree the details in writing.
This is how QuoteZila is designed to work. Customer posting is not open yet.
What should I put in my barber job description?
- Say what you need: cut, beard, shave or all three.
- Describe the style, and attach reference photos.
- Say if it is for a child, an event or an elderly person who cannot travel.
- Mention if you want a shop or a mobile visit.
Are you a barber in Cheshire? How can you get local work with no lead fees?
QuoteZila is built so that local businesses spend their time quoting, not buying enquiries. Our intention is no lead fees: you would not pay per enquiry, per job or per quote. The first 500 businesses to join at launch (the Launch 500) get 2 months free with no card needed. After that the planned price is £15 a month, starting later and only once you accept the terms. That is our current plan, not a contract. Choose Barbering as your main trade on the sign-up form and tell us how far you travel.

Which Cheshire towns will QuoteZila cover?
We are launching first in Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach, Congleton, Winsford, Middlewich, and the wider county. See the Cheshire areas page for details. A launch area is where we plan to start, not a claim that barbers are already listed there.
Frequently asked questions about barbers
What should I tell my barber?
Show a photo, say how short you want the sides and top, and say if you want to keep length. Mention any skin conditions or allergies. Good communication avoids surprises.
Can a barber come to my home?
Some barbers are mobile and visit homes, care homes and workplaces. Say you want a home visit in your job description, and mention the number of people.
