For barbers
Booking system for barbers
Barbering lives on quick, regular appointments: fades every two or three weeks, beard trims, and walk-ins mixed with booked chairs.
Phone ringing mid-fade
Clients book themselves online, so you can keep cutting.
No-shows on Saturdays
Reminders by email, and optional texts, mean fewer empty chairs at the busiest time of the week.
Juggling several chairs
Each barber gets their own diary and clients can pick who they want or take the first free chair.
Set-up tips
- Give each barber their own diary so clients can choose who cuts their hair.
- Rebook reminders at 3 to 4 weeks suit most fades.
- Keep short buffers between cuts for sweeping up and card payments.
- Ask for a review the evening after the cut, while the fade still looks fresh.
- Share your booking link in your Instagram bio, where most clients find barbers.
- Use the “No-show” button in the desk so you can see who doesn’t turn up.

Questions
Can clients choose their barber?
Yes. Each barber has their own hours and services, and clients can choose a barber or book the first one free.
Can I still take walk-ins?
Yes. Add walk-ins to the diary from the desk so online bookings never clash with them.
