Could you build this?

Partial The front-end directory and search interface are trivial, but acquiring, cleaning, and continuously validating an accurate nationwide database of local barbershop listings requires serious scraping or data sourcing.

What it would actually take: The frontend is easily built using Next.js with Algolia or Postgres full-text search. The core obstacle is data acquisition: either licensing commercial business data (Google Places API, Yelp, Foursquare) at significant API cost or writing and maintaining robust web scrapers with deduplication and geocoding pipelines.
