Sound is as much a part of the brand as the sign
A barbershop doesn't sell a haircut, it sells belonging. The interior, the smell, the conversation and the music work together, and the music is the only thing that changes every day. If it's picked by whichever barber is on shift, the brand sounds different in every chair.
A central playlist fixes that in one step: a chain of five shops sounds the same, and a new hire doesn't pick anything by hand.
Clippers, dryers and the guys talking
Clippers run all the time, dryers now and then, and clients talk with barbers louder than in a women's salon. The background has to be denser than in a hair salon or it simply disappears.
At the same time, distinct vocals get in the way of conversation. A working mix is confident groove, urban funk, soul and neo-soul, electro swing: a recognizable rhythm without lyrics in the foreground.
No PRO fees for our music
A typical background-music service gives you tracks by well-known artists. The rights to those tracks belong to labels and songwriters, so a barbershop may also have to deal with a performing rights organization (PRO), such as ASCAP or BMI in the US, PRS for Music in the UK or SOCAN in Canada, on top of the subscription.
Harmonia works differently. Our catalog is original music produced for business use, and a public-performance license for your venue is included in the subscription. Our tracks are not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, PRS, SOCAN, APRA AMCOS or GEMA, so playing music from our catalog does not create PRO fees for that music.
Launch within one business day
Send an application and we approve it within a business day. After that, the music plays on the devices you already have in the barbershop: a tablet at the front desk, a laptop, a mini-PC with a speaker or a Smart TV.
Staff don't have to pick anything each morning. Playlists and the schedule are set once, then the music starts by itself and doesn't repeat during a shift. For a chain, everything is managed centrally, by location and zone, from one account.
How much it costs
One plan, no bundles and no extra fees for genres or devices. The price depends only on the number of locations and zones.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay PRO fees for music in a barbershop?
Not for our catalog. Every Harmonia track is original music produced for business use and is not registered with PROs such as ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, PRS for Music, APRA AMCOS or GEMA. You pay only the subscription, and it includes a public-performance license for your venue.
What music suits a barbershop?
Confident groove, urban funk, soul and neo-soul, electro swing, hip-hop without vocals in the foreground. The background is denser than in a women's salon: clippers and dryers run on the floor, and clients talk with barbers louder.
How much does music for barbershops cost per month?
From $12/mo per location when billed annually ($144 a year). Monthly billing is $17/mo. Each additional location in the same company is cheaper: $7/mo billed annually or $12/mo billed monthly. A separate zone with its own playlist is $4/mo billed annually or $5/mo billed monthly. There are no hidden fees for genres or devices.
Can I play Spotify or Apple Music in a barbershop?
No. Personal accounts on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music are licensed for personal, non-commercial listening only, and their terms of service forbid playing them in a business. Music in a public space counts as public performance, which a personal subscription does not cover. You need either a public-performance license from the rights organizations in your country or a catalog that is licensed for business use, like ours.
What do I show during a music licensing inspection?
Two documents: your subscription agreement with Harmonia and the license certificate (PDF) issued for each location. The certificate confirms that the venue holds a public-performance license for our catalog. If a rights organization contacts you, write to legal@harmonia-b2b.com and we will help you with the paperwork.
What happens if I play unlicensed music in a barbershop?
Playing music publicly without the right license can lead to claims and fines from performing rights organizations (PROs). The rules and the amounts depend on the country. A subscription to a catalog that includes a public-performance license removes this risk for the music you play from it.
What equipment does the music play on?
Almost anything: a POS terminal, mini-PC, TV box, Smart TV, laptop, or an Android or iOS phone. You don't need to buy special hardware. Everything runs through the web player or the app.
What if I run a chain of barbershops?
Each location is connected separately: the first from $12/mo, every additional one from $7/mo when billed annually. Playlists and schedules are set centrally from one account, so staff on site don't have to configure anything.
