A haircut shouldn’t depend on whether you can get to the high street. Cut Cares sends checked, insured barbers and hairdressers to your home — across Greater Manchester.
Free to join. No subscription. Pay by card or cash.
Choose the service, when suits you, and anything the barber should know — wheelchair access, a ground-floor flat, or that you’d rather they didn’t use clippers.
You see what each one has been checked for before you choose. If you’d prefer someone who wears a body camera, you can ask for that too.
You get a four-digit code. The barber asks for it at the door, so you always know the right person has turned up. A family member or carer can give it for you.
This is the part we take most seriously. Here is exactly what happens, and what it does and doesn’t prove.
No barber can accept a job until their DBS certificate, qualification, insurance and photo ID have all been reviewed by us. If any of them lapse, they stop receiving work automatically — not when someone gets round to noticing.
The barber has to ask you for a four-digit code before the visit starts. It isn’t in their app — only you have it. If you’d rather not, or can’t, there’s another way through, and the visit is flagged for us to look at.
Arrival time, departure time and photos taken during the visit are all in your account — the same record the barber sees. Nothing is hidden from you about your own visit.
Some barbers wear a body camera and you can ask for one who does. That means they’ve registered a device with us and agreed to our recording policy. It does not mean a camera is running during your visit — that stays your choice, on the day, and you can say no at any point.
Anyone who finds getting to a salon hard, or would simply rather not.
You choose the level of experience you want, and see the price range before you book.
| Tier | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Volunteer | Free |
| Amateur | £8–£15 |
| Semi-professional | £15–£28 |
| Professional | £28–£55 |
Every tier is checked the same way. The tier reflects experience and qualification level, never how carefully someone has been vetted.
Set your own area, your own hours, and your own rate within your tier. We handle the bookings, the payments and the compliance paperwork.
You’ll need an Enhanced DBS certificate, a recognised barbering qualification, public liability insurance and photo ID. Volunteers need a Level 1 award or above; paid tiers need Level 2 or above.
