The four roles
The experience lets you hire barbers, cleaners, receptionists, and waiters. Those are the only role names on the official description. Named employees, star ratings on staff, and wage numbers are not part of the public listing, so hire by job, not by a rumor sheet.
| Role | What the game says they are for | When they solve a problem |
|---|---|---|
| Barber | Cuts, and keeps working while you are away | You are the only cutter, or offline cash is empty |
| Cleaner | Shop upkeep | Mess or hair on the floor is slowing the next cut |
| Receptionist | Front of house | People bunch up before they reach a chair |
| Waiter | Waiting-area service | The waiting room is busy and the other three roles already exist |
Who to hire first
Hire a barber first when you can pay the wage and a chair exists for them. Offline earnings are explicitly tied to barbers. A cleaner is next if the station is hard to work in. A receptionist matters after more than one chair is filling up. A waiter is the last of the four for a new shop.
This order is an editorial hire plan based on those role descriptions. It is not an official tier published by 67 Studio Games.
Chairs and wages move together
A new chair with nobody to cut in it does not raise income. A new barber with nowhere to stand does not either. Add a seat and a cutter in pairs. If the register cannot cover the next wage, stop cosmetic buys before you fire the only barber.
The shop goal on the listing is 12 chairs. You do not need all 12, or a full staff of every role, on day one. Grow coverage with the queue you actually see.
Around VIP visits and rebirth
When you personally cut a Rare, Epic, or Legendary customer, other hired barbers are what keep the remaining chairs moving. Cleaners matter on those visits because the photo match is stricter and a messy station makes the camera harder to use.
Rebirth requirements are on the in-game panel, not in a public table. If you do prestige, plan to hire a barber again before you expect offline cash to return. Nothing on the official description says staff wages survive a rebirth automatically.
Group furniture is not a hire
Liking the game and joining 67 Studio Games grants a furniture piece, not a free employee. Place that piece where it does not block the path from the door to the chairs.
