Everything you need to run your barber business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Chair-time booking for fades, trims & shaves

Set proper timings per service (skin fade, scissor cut, beard trim, hot towel shave) so the diary reflects real chair time — not guesswork that makes you run late.

Walk-in buffer & ‘fit-me-in’ slots

Keep space for walk-ins or same-day regulars without blowing up the book. Add buffers between longer services so you’re not rushing a finish or skipping clean-down.

Deposits for high-value appointments

Take deposits on longer bookings like fade + beard, restyles, or first-time clients. Reduce no-shows without awkward conversations at the counter.

Automatic reminders that sound like your shop

Send text/email reminders with your tone, your address, and your late policy. Fewer “I forgot” excuses, and less time spent chasing confirmations.

Client notes: clipper grades, beard lines, preferences

Keep notes that actually matter in barbering: last cut details, grade numbers, taper preference, neckline, beard shape, sensitive areas, and product used — so every visit feels consistent.

Multi-barber rota and chair allocation

If you’ve got more than one barber, manage rotas, days off, and who takes what. Customers can book their preferred barber, and you avoid accidental double-booking on the same chair.

The challenges every barber faces

Walk-ins vs pre-booked appointments

Most shops still rely on walk-ins, but pre-books pay the bills. The problem is the clash: a run of walk-ins can push booked clients late, and a quiet patch leaves dead chair time. You need a diary that can flex without constant rewriting.

Service times aren’t “one size fits all”

A tidy-up isn’t a skin fade, and a beard shape-up with hot towel takes longer than a quick trim. If your booking tool treats everything as 30 minutes, you’ll either overbook and run late, or leave gaps you can’t sell.

No-shows and last-minute cancellations

When someone doesn’t turn up for a fade and beard, that’s a big chunk of the day gone — and you can’t exactly fill it by magic. Deposits help, but only if they’re easy for customers and not a headache for you at the counter.

DMs, calls and ‘fit me in’ messages mid-cut

Customers expect instant replies, but you can’t answer the phone while lining someone up. Missed calls turn into lost bookings, and DMs pile up. A self-serve booking link with the right services and rules stops you doing admin after hours.

Built for real barber workflows

A normal day starts before the first client: you open up, check the book, and make sure you’ve got time for clean-downs, blade changes and a quick brew. The morning might be regulars who always want the same cut, then a run of lunchtime walk-ins wanting “just a quick trim”. By mid-afternoon you’re trying to stay on schedule while someone turns up ten minutes late and another messages asking if you...

Quick Setup

Get started in 3 simple steps

Your barber business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

Add your services and real chair times

List what you actually do: men’s haircut, skin fade, beard trim, fade + beard, hot towel shave, kids cut, restyle. Set timings that match your pace, and add buffers for clean-down or lateness if you want them.

2

Set your rota, barbers and booking rules

Add each barber, working hours, breaks, and days off. Decide whether customers can choose a specific barber, how late is “too late”, and which services need deposits (often longer combos and first-time clients).

3

Share your booking link everywhere clients look

Put the link on Google Business Profile, Instagram bio, Facebook page, and in your shop’s QR code. Customers can book without calling, and you can still take walk-ins without the diary turning into chaos.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our barber booking system.

Try it free
How does it handle urgent “can you fit me in today?” bookings?

You can keep same-day slots available, add a walk-in buffer, or open last-minute availability when you get a cancellation. Customers see what’s genuinely free rather than messaging back and forth. If you want, you can restrict certain services (like longer restyles) from being booked too close to closing time.

Can I set different appointment lengths for a skin fade, beard trim and hot towel shave?

Yes — each service can have its own duration, and you can add extra time for more detailed work like a fade + beard or a full shave. That means the diary reflects real chair time and you’re not constantly running behind. You can also add clean-down buffers between longer services.

When do customers pay — at booking or in the shop?

You can take payment in full, take a deposit, or let customers pay in the shop. Deposits are ideal for longer appointments and new clients where no-shows hurt most. The booking confirmation can make your cancellation and late policy clear so there’s less arguing at the counter.

Does it cope with seasonal rushes like Christmas and wedding season?

It’s built for spikes where your diary fills weeks ahead. You can extend hours for a period, add extra barbers to the rota, or adjust availability for busier days like Fridays and Saturdays. When things quieten down, you can tighten availability to avoid long empty stretches.

Can multiple barbers use it without double-booking chairs?

Yes — each barber has their own calendar and working hours, and you can control who is available for which services. Customers can pick a preferred barber or book “any barber” to fill gaps faster. It reduces the classic problem of two people writing into the same slot.

How does it turn enquiries into actual bookings instead of endless DMs?

You share one booking link that shows live availability, services and pricing, so the customer can commit immediately. Instead of “what times you got?”, they pick a slot and it’s confirmed. You can also send the link in reply to Instagram/WhatsApp messages to stop the back-and-forth.

What customer messages does it send, and can I include my shop policies?

It sends booking confirmations and reminders with the appointment time, barber, service, and your address. You can include details like ‘please arrive on time’, your late policy, and how deposits work. That way expectations are set before they walk through the door.

Can I change pricing for different barber levels or service variations?

Yes — you can price services differently depending on the barber (for example, senior barber vs trainee) or create separate services like ‘skin fade (senior)’ and ‘skin fade (standard)’. You can also add options for add-ons like beard trim with a haircut. This keeps pricing clear and avoids awkward discussions when the client sits down.

Why iBookFast for your barber business?

Barbering is one of the few trades where the work is back-to-back, face-to-face, and time-sensitive all day. If the diary is wrong by even 10 minutes, you feel it immediately: you’re rushing a fade, the waiting area fills up, and the last client of the day gets a worse experience than the first. The UK barbershop has its own patterns. Fridays and Saturdays are heavy, and the week before payday ca...
