Sound familiar?

Every barber we've spoken to has the same frustrations with their current booking setup.

No-shows killing revenue

Customers forget, don't show up, and there's no automated reminder to keep them accountable.

Commission fees eating profits

Booksy takes 30% on new clients. Fresha takes 20%. Why pay a platform for customers you brought in?

Software built for desks, not shops

Most booking systems were made for nail salons and spas. Good luck using them on an iPad between clients.

Features

Everything you need to run your shop

Built from the ground up for how barbers actually work. No bloat, no compromise.

Embeddable Widget

Drop a booking widget onto your website or WordPress. Customers book directly — no third-party marketplace.

SMS & WhatsApp

Automated confirmations, reminders, and cancellation notices via SMS and WhatsApp. Reduce no-shows overnight.

iPad-Ready Calendar

A daily calendar built for touch. See all your barbers at a glance, tap to book, mark complete, or handle walk-ins.

Customer Portal

Customers reschedule, cancel, and add bookings to their calendar themselves. Fewer phone calls for you.

Split shifts, custom days, time-off, and per-barber service durations. Zero double bookings, guaranteed.

What barbers are saying

“We switched from Booksy and saved over £200/month in commission fees alone. The iPad calendar is exactly what we needed — it just works.”

Mike K.
Owner, 3-chair shop • London

“The WhatsApp reminders cut our no-shows in half within the first month. Customers actually show up now because they get a message they actually read.”

JS
Jake S.
Head Barber • Manchester

“Having two shops used to mean two separate systems. Now I manage both from one dashboard. The sick day feature alone saves me hours of phone calls.”
