Our Impact
Barber Below worked with Timely to introduce pronouns into its booking system, helping clients communicate how they would like to be addressed before arriving for their appointment. The change was introduced across a platform used in more than 70 countries, making the booking experience more inclusive for trans and gender-diverse clients. It remains one of our proudest achievements.
