Our story

About Fade

Fade is the barbershop booking app built around one idea: every visit should count. Loyalty and rewards per salon come first—then map discovery, booking, chat around appointments, and QR check-in. What you read here tracks what ships in the app.

Our mission

Fade exists so every client earns real value from their barber—points and rewards tied to each visit—while finding and booking stays simple: open the map, lock a time, show up. Salon owners run the same loyalty and booking engine in owner tools.

We don't pad this page with inflated numbers. Published marketing matches the live product: map discovery, booking states, loyalty balances per salon, referral attribution for eligible salon sign-ups, and business subscriptions through Apple, Google, or Stripe where enabled.

If anything on this site drifts from the app, the product and our Terms / Privacy Policy win—email support@getfadeapp.com and we'll correct the copy.
