The story
Iron & Ivy had walk-ins but couldn't beat the chains in search rankings — too few recent reviews.
Each station now has a small REVIEWU stand. Barbers casually ask ‘mind tapping the stand if you’re happy with the cut?’
Three months later they’re the top-ranked barbershop in their neighborhood and bookings are full two weeks out.
Sample reviews collected
Solid vibe, hot towel finish, and the price is more than fair.

My new spot. Easy booking, no upsells, just a great cut.

FAQ
Common questions for barbershops
Where should the stand sit in a barbershop?+
On the chair-side counter or at the front desk. The end-of-cut mirror moment is the perfect time to ask.
Can each barber track their own reviews?+
Yes. Issue each barber a personal QR/NFC slug so you can see who's driving the most 5-star reviews.
What if a client doesn't have NFC?+
Every stand also has a QR code — works on every iPhone and Android.
How long until I out-rank chain shops?+
Most independent shops climb past chains within 60–90 days thanks to fresh, recent reviews.
