Built for the shop

Everything the front desk used to do. Now focus on growing your business.

Booking that fits a barbershop

Fade, beard trim, lineup, kid's cut, straight razor — priced and timed the way your shop actually runs.

Regulars you actually remember

Lifetime spend, favorite barber, last cut, notes on the fade — surfaced the second they walk in.

Each chair on autopilot

Per-barber hours, services, bios and photos. New hire's first day, no front-desk training required.

Confirmations that don't bounce

Calendar links for Google, Apple, Outlook, or .ics. In every email and SMS — fewer no-shows.

Owner-grade reporting

Weekly revenue per barber, no-show rate, repeat-client rate, top services. Numbers, not noise.

Reschedule without a phone call

Every confirmation has reschedule and cancel links. Less back-and-forth at the chair, more cuts in the chair.

For shop owners

Open the app and you're already running the shop.

Today's chair, this week's revenue per barber, who's repeating and who hasn't been in for a cut. No dashboards to decode. No tabs to drown in.

New · AI for the shop

An AI first service.

Built-in AI reads your bookings, revenue, no-shows and retention — then tells you what to do today. Plus on-brand marketing copy, ready to send in a tap.

Today's AI recommendations

Ranked, dollar-aware actions every morning: open slots to fill, regulars to win back, slow days to promote.

Ask AI, your shop coach

Ask anything — "why was last week slower?", "who hasn't been in?", "which service is growing?" Answers reference your numbers.

AI marketing copy

SMS, email, Instagram captions, promo blasts and review replies — drafted in your tone, copy to clipboard, send from anywhere.

Sample recommendation
"You have 3 open slots after 4pm today. Text these 8 regulars who usually book Thursdays — projected lift $312."
Generated from live shop data on the dashboard.
Sample SMS draft
"Hey Marcus — it's been 9 weeks since your last fade with Dre. He's got Friday 5pm open if you want it. Reply YES to grab it."
One tap to copy. Send from your own number.
For clients

Pick a barber. Pick a time. Done.

No account. No app download. No "we'll call to confirm." Cut, barber, day, time — and a confirmation that drops straight into their calendar.
