The brief
Corner Chair is a one-chair, walk-in-friendly barber in Shawlands with a loyal crowd and an Instagram account. That’s it.
When someone nearby searches for a barber, they find the chains instead: prices, opening hours, a map. So they walk there. The brief was to make three things obvious from a phone: what a cut costs, when the chair is free, and how to get there.
What I built
A one-page site with the price list straight under the headline, opening hours, a gallery of recent cuts, a map and a call button that stays within thumb reach on mobile.
The “Book a chair” button is ready to link to whichever booking system the barber uses. Walk-ins stay the main message.
Design choices
Palette
Taken from the chair itself: matte black leather, a bone-coloured cape and brass fittings. Brass is used sparingly, for prices and the call button.
Type
Anton for headings: tall, condensed and loud enough to read like a sign across the street. Inter Tight keeps the small print tidy.
Why the price list sits so high
Price is the first thing people want to know about a barber they’ve never tried. Answering it in the first scroll means fewer people leave for a chain that does show its prices.
