ShearShare Releases New Finance Tool for Freelance Cosmetologists & Barbers


DALLAS - EntSun -- ShearShare, the largest provider of on-demand salon and barbershop space rentals worldwide, today announced that it has introduced a new finances module as part of the ShearShare app. In a continued effort to meet independent cosmetologists and barbers where they are—on their mobile devices and on the go—ShearShare has partnered with industry leaders Track and Elite Beauty Society to remove costly financial hurdles experienced when operating as a solopreneur.

The new ShearShare finances module

• instantly detects when a stylist gets paid and gives them the option to set aside taxes they owe with just one click
• helps stylists pay the correct amount in taxes by turning their business expenses and mileage into deductions
• gives the stylist freedom to prepare taxes the way he/she likes
• helps stylists avoid fines by submitting tax withholdings on time to the IRS
• provides a discount for comprehensive liability insurance that follows the stylist wherever they practice

"In the United States alone, beauty and barbering account for a growing percentage of the small business employment share," says Dr. Tye Caldwell, Cofounder & CEO of ShearShare. "As we continue to outpace the traditional sector for jobs growth, it is unnerving to see our proprietary data show only a 59% confidence level when it comes to taxes and insurance. We asked ourselves, 'how can we create an accountant in your pocket and provide mobile insurance coverage?': two items that are perceived financial strongholds. With this new release, we are doing our part to meet freelance professionals where they are and educate them on the benefits of mitigating risks while organizing business finances. As the largest provider of jobs and wealth creation for beauty and barbering professionals, the ShearShare team strives to contribute to a more socially and financially inclusive world."
