✂️ CATCH A FADE — The Complete Barber Business
by CodeWave
Most barber scripts are a clothing menu with a chair. This one is a career.
Catch A Fade turns your city's barbershop into a living business: real players cutting real players, skill-based gameplay with money on the line, NPC walk-ins for the quiet hours, and a full boss-run company on top.
💈 THE CUT
-
Real player cuts: full consent flow, live preview, saves permanently through your appearance script
-
Name your price: the barber quotes each cut, the customer accepts or walks (min/max configurable)
-
Four services: fade and hair colour, beard, eyebrows, chest hair — in a clean modern UI
🎮 SKILL-BASED MINI-GAME
-
Trace the line-up: box, straight, zig-zag, curved, widow's peak, wave — fully authorable shapes
-
Skill pays: clean lines earn tips, sloppy work earns nothing
-
Secure: the score is validated server-side, no client spoofing
-
Immersive: custom clipper cursor and looping trimmer sound
🎬 IT LOOKS REAL
-
Live animation: the barber visibly works with clippers in hand, synced for everyone nearby
-
Flush positioning: per-chair barber stand spots so the animation lines up with the customer
-
Cinematic finish: a camera scene frames barber and client on every completed cut
🤖 NPC WALK-INS
-
Real requests: clients ask for specific looks, with hint dots guiding you in the UI
-
Live reactions: clients respond as you nail their look
-
Rated and paid: a 0-10 rating with payouts that scale with quality
🪑 FREELANCE MODE
-
Deployable chair item: set up anywhere in the city, set your own price, get paid directly

Boss menu tablet: shop bank with withdraw and deposit, full transaction logs, earnings leaderboard
