Shortcut, The Mobile Barbershop, Upgrades App with Breakthrough Innovation and Product Offerings
Newly Optimized App Features Exceptional User Experience
NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- After a year of providing exceptional on-demand handsomeness to busy, professional men in New York City, Shortcut, the preeminent mobile barber service, is releasing an optimized app to begin bringing its grooming services nationwide.

Initially launched in late 2014, Shortcut completely overhauled its product to include more sophisticated design and personalization functions to create an even more fluid experience for consumers and barbers alike.
"Our beta product was a critical learning experience for the company," said Irvin Slobodskaya, Co-Founder and CEO of Shortcut. "We took the time to listen to our early users and learn about the pressure points of the haircut process. That data informed a lot of the thinking around our latest product, which derives best practices from brick and mortar barbershops, while also providing a series of solutions to other industry inefficiencies."
Feature upgrades include:
-- Both instant booking and scheduling of haircuts up to a week in advance
-- A clipper cut offering at a lower price point for haircuts that do not
require scissors
-- Personalized hair preferences to better match users with the optimal
barber
-- A "favorite barber" function to choose a dedicated grooming professional
for each booking
-- Mobile payment for more seamless transactions
-- Feedback and rating system for Shortcut barbers
-- In-app rewards and promotions to save on grooming services
The new app is now available for download on iOS in the App Store. Special offers and other updates can also be found on social media via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The Shortcut experience begins by choosing either a haircut or clipper cut on the app home page. Users can request the next available appointment or request the barber of their choice up to a week in advance. At the specified appointment time, a barber is dispatched to the user's location. Starting at $65 for a single haircut and $45 for a clipper cut, Shortcut barbers are fully equipped to handle all men's hairstyle requests, provide quick beard trims on-the-go, as well as suggest maintenance tips to complement any style. All cleanup is handled to complete the appointment.
Shortcut is currently available in the vast majority of Manhattan with plans to begin expansion into the outer boroughs and other urban markets.
