About ShearShare

Based in Texas, US, and founded in 2017, SmileBack, LLC operates as a developer of a mobile application that offers a gig economy in the beauty industry connecting salon suites with individual beauty professionals for on-demand rentals. The company offers a B2B platform, ShearShare, for the salon and barbershop industry by connecting space owners with independent beauty professionals. ShearShare addresses the need for flexible, affordable workspace solutions in the beauty industry. The company enables salon and barbershop owners to monetize their unused spaces, turning empty suites and stations into revenue-generating assets. This approach also helps beauty professionals rent workspaces on demand, without long-term contracts or commissions, in over 900 cities (as of May 2024). The firm generates revenue by listing fees and service charges associated with the rental transactions on its platform. Beauty professionals can rent space starting at USD 15 per day at a daily liability insurance as well as portable healthcare benefits and free point-of-sale hardware for USD 5.
