Barbershop: Simulator

A voxel barbershop that earns while you are away: tap the carpets, level the barbers, hire a manager and turn one chair into a chain of salons.

💈 Barbershop: Simulator: One Chair, Then a Chain

Barbershop: Simulator starts with a single barber and a queue that never empties. Customers file in, the chair turns, and coins pile up on the carpet behind the mirror. Tap them, spend them on the shop, and the shop becomes a chain of salons. It is an idle game in the strict sense — the shop earns with the tab closed — and the whole skill of it is deciding where the next pile of money goes.

✂️ The Loop, in Full

1. Tap the rug behind each chair to bank the takings from every barber at once.
2. Spend the takings on a barber's level, the price of a haircut, or the speed at which they cut.
3. Open a new chair and staff it.
4. Add hairstyles so the shop can serve better-paying customers.
5. Hire a manager, and collection stops being your job.
6. Buy 2x boosts when you want the number at the top of the screen to move faster.

Three upgrade dimensions run in parallel: how skilled a barber is, what a haircut costs, and how fast it is delivered. Spending only on one of the three stalls; the shop grows fastest when they move together.

📈 The Only Number That Matters

The game measures you in income per second, not in coins banked. Every upgrade that raises that number compounds, because a faster barber collects more, which buys the next upgrade sooner. That is also why the cheap-looking catalogue items — an extra hairstyle, a slightly better barber — often beat a big single purchase.

🧊 Voxel Shop, Funny Customers

The look is bright voxel art, with customers who queue, sit, get their hair done and leave. It is deliberately low-stakes: no timers to lose, no way to fail, and nothing to manage except the upgrade order.

🎮 Controls

Click or tap to collect and to buy. Each upgrade row also carries bulk buttons — x1, x10, x50 and Max — which stop being a luxury as soon as one level costs more than a single collection brings in.

💡 Getting to a Chain Faster

• Buy the manager early. Every tap you stop making is a tap you can spend on upgrading instead.
• Spread the money across all three dimensions. Level, price and speed multiply each other.
• Use Max on cheap upgrades. It saves taps, and taps are the scarce resource before the manager arrives.
• Bank the boost. Fire a 2x boost when you are actively collecting, not when you are closing the tab.
• Return often. Offline income accumulates on the carpets but only converts when you tap it.
