Wow, that is a very crowded page to the point of being hard to read.<p>Here is the link to the actual software, <a href="http://resurva.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;resurva.com&#x2F;</a>

I use this (and the services of the Crow&#x27;s Nest as mentioned). It&#x27;s a neat little app, built to be mobile-friendly. They&#x27;re probably charging too little for it. (paging patio11...)

Curious to see this. At my &quot;just failed&quot; startup, our first product was a booking app targeted at tattoo studios. It was a hard niche to crack for a variety of reasons, and in retrospect we&#x27;ve moved on a little too soon without spending enough time exploring alternative applications.

Interesting, it&#x27;s probably the type of software I would build and enjoy building.<p>I never thought the market could be so niche to barbers though, guess that trend hasn&#x27;t made it t&#x27;up North of UK<p>Ironically the website does not work on mobile.

It is interesting to see how a community hardly using computers for reservations uses an app. I wonder if convincing barber shops or other similar businesses to use the app is difficult.

Small world... we&#x27;re based in Toronto too, and we provide a similar service for cleaning businesses; <a href="http://carwashy.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;carwashy.com</a>

I love how they narrowed their focus to barbershops. One of the hardest parts of many startups is finding and staying focused on the right niche.

I wonder how much they are making. I love going to crows nest, great place.

With nearly 3 million in population and an energy in the air not unlike New York City, Toronto should be more of a startup scene than it is.<p>This is the first T.O. startup I&#x27;ve read about for as long as I can remember.
