Although Isenberg said Jim Morrison's words echoed through his head -- \"Some of my worst mistakes in life have been haircuts\" -- the entrepreneur said he had to give it a try.

\"I was very weary to do my own hair, but having seen such great results from You Probably Need a Haircut, I had to do it,\" he said. \"And I have to say, it looks pretty damn good.\"

One of the freelance barbers, Montreal-based David LeGault, said, \"Initially, when Greg came to me and asked me to give people virtual haircuts, I thought he was crazy.\"

\"I just gave one to a 19-year-old girl who gave [her] boyfriend a haircut. Let's just say I turned what would have been a 1 out of 10 haircut to an 8 out of 10 haircut. That's well worth the $18.\"

For now, You Probably Need a Haircut is tailored to men, but Isenberg said they will look to add hairstylists for women soon.

Tips from the pros

If you've grabbed a set of shears or buzzers, one freelance barber told ABC News it's important for guys to \"follow the head shape\" and work in a natural line with the curvature of it.
