The Future of Bookings for Barbers & Stylists
At its core, klypa helps everyday professionals become more discoverable, more bookable, and more scalable - without needing to rely on social media, WhatsApp, or pen-and-paper appointment books. It includes account dashboards, product ordering, secure payments, service listings & location-driven discovery.
A location-based marketplace connecting stylists with clients in real time.
The idea behind klypa was born from a gap in the South African grooming market: barbers were easy to find in person but nearly invisible online. We flipped that dynamic by empowering stylists to build a verified digital presence that actually generates income. Features like service menus, live availability & in-app product orders position klypa as more than a booking tool - it’s an operational partner. From onboarding & cashout workflows to earning dashboards & geofencing, klypa is architected to support real-world growth and simplicity. The result? Stylists & Barbers get more consistent bookings & clients get more convenient access to top-tier talent.
Building financial stability & visibility for freelance professionals in emerging cities.
klypa is currently in pilot with stylists across Pretoria & early results show strong retention, referrals & organic bookings. With a working MVP in the field, the next step is scaling into more cities—and eventually more service industries. From haircuts to hospitality, klypa’s modular structure gives it legs far beyond grooming.
