It depends. For me, all I require is a trim, which needs no equipment other than a chair, scissors, and clippers. A barber could do the job portably, no problem. It's just that I have a high standard for the work that is done, so I'm extremely loyal to the barber that I currently see. I'm not going to risk some amateur screwing it up, which has happened in the past. Still, as we speak I'm about 3 weeks overdue for a haircut because I haven't had time to make the 10-minute trip across town to her premises during business hours. I would LOVE it if there was an app that could summon her presence at the moment. Especially if I could get her early in the day, because I've noticed a substantial drop in her work quality when I slide in after 5:00.
Stylists that do coloring, perms, and more complicated styles may need additional equipment that makes it tougher to do the job portably, so their clients would probably not be the target market of this app.
