Our take
Squire takes point-of-sale management tools and focuses them entirely on the needs of barbershops. Before launching, co-founder Dave Salvant spent time talking to 600 different barbershop owners to understand the boxes Squire had to tick to be a worthwhile product. This included taking cashless payments and providing key insight into employee productivity, hours worked, and commission calculations.
This time spent in barbershops paid off, as Squire now has more than 2,000 customers in North America and the UK. There is considerable opportunity in the United States alone, as they have a potential customer base of more than 135,000 barbershops.
In March 2020, Squire’s revenue fell to zero when the COVID-19 pandemic forced barbershops to close. Luckily, the company had raised $34 million just days before this in a Series B funding round, which enabled it to help barbershops adapt and survive during their lockdowns. Now things have returned to normal, Squire is in high demand and in 2025, is valued at $750 million.
