Build a mobile barber kit that travels

A great mobile barber kit packs small, sets up fast and keeps tools in reach once you arrive. So we built ours around three pieces: a chest rig, a backpack and cordless clippers.

The three parts of a mobile barber kit

Mobile barbers cut in homes, offices, hotels and film sets. However, there is rarely a proper station waiting. So your kit has to replace the station completely.

First, a bag carries everything. The Barber Backpack® line gives each clipper, shear and comb its own slot. Next, the Barber Rig® turns your chest into the station once you arrive. Finally, cordless clippers free you from hunting for outlets.

  • Carry: a Barber Backpack® with padded clipper slots.
  • Work: the Barber Rig® chest rig for tools at the chair.
  • Cut: cordless clippers with battery displays.
Why it works

Why this mobile barber kit works

Each piece solves a problem mobile barbers run into every day.

01

No station needed

Because the rig holds your tools, any chair becomes a barber chair.

02

Fast setup

Unpack, strap on the rig and start cutting. As a result, you spend more time cutting and less time setting up.

03

No cord hunting

Also, cordless clippers run for hours on a charge, so outlets stop mattering.

Packing tips

How to pack a mobile barber kit

Start with clippers and chargers in the padded slots. Then add shears, combs and guards to the tool pockets. Next, slide the rig in flat on top.

Also, keep a cape, neck strips, spray bottle and disinfectant in the outer pockets. That way, you never forget the basics.

Check your state board rules before you start house calls, because licensing varies by state. For example, the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology publishes its rules online.

Not strictly. However, cordless clippers make house calls much easier, because you skip the outlet hunt.

Does the rig fit in the backpack?

Yes. It packs flat, so it slides in on top of your tools.
