Booking system for barbers
Updated
A booking system for barbers lets clients book cuts, beard trims and fades online themselves, also in the evening, and sends a reminder before the appointment. With short appointments of 20 to 45 minutes, small gaps in the calendar quickly turn into lost revenue. With Klarte you share one booking link on Instagram and Google and start for €0 a month.
A barbershop lives on many short appointments and regulars who come back every three to five weeks. When clients can book on their phone, most of the messages and calls disappear, and reminders mean fewer people forget their appointment.
What should a booking system for barbers be able to do?
- Short appointments without gaps. Set a duration per service so the calendar fills up tightly without overlaps.
- Booking from Instagram and Google. One link in your bio and in your Google Business Profile.
- Reminder before the appointment. Email on every plan, SMS from Starter.
- Breaks when you need them. Block time for lunch or cleaning so it cannot be booked.
- Several chairs. Growth has three users and Pro has five.
