Barbershop management software with appointment booking and scheduling built in.
Barbershop software for shops that run on appointments: a day schedule for every barber, open times, walk-ins, check-out with tips, client cut notes, barber commission and retail stock — one offline barbershop appointment software, one screen at a time. No subscription, no cloud account.
One-time payment
Never another monthly bill per barber or per chair. The price you see is the whole price.
Booking and scheduling that shows every chair
A day view with a column per barber, open times as you book, and a warning before a double-booking.
Cut notes and barber commission
Every client's cut remembered, and each barber's commission worked out from completed visits.
No cloud account
Records stay on your own computer — nothing to sign up for, nowhere for a breach to happen.
What it does
Everything a barbershop touches, in one barbershop management software.
Dashboard with live shop KPIs • day schedule per barber • appointments & month calendar • clients with cut notes • barbers with commission • services & pricing • retail products with reorder alerts • sales, tips & expenses • suppliers • reports with no-show rate and busiest days.
A day schedule with a column for every barber
Barbershop scheduling software should show the whole floor at a glance. The Day Schedule lays the day out by the hour, one column per barber, each appointment a block colored by status. Click an empty slot to book it, click a block to open it, and print the day sheet for the front desk.
Open times, and a warning before you double-book
Pick a barber, a service and a date and the appointment form lists the open start times, worked out from your shop hours and that barber's other bookings. Save an overlap, or a visit that runs past closing, and the app tells you who is already in the chair and asks first. It warns; it never locks you out.
Walk-ins, rebooks, check-out and tips
Add Walk-In opens the form at the next slot. Rebook books the same client, barber, service and time again in 1 to 6 weeks and checks the calendar first. Check Out records the service price, the tip and how the client paid; Sell a Product records a retail sale and takes it off your stock.
Client cut notes and barber commission
Every client carries their cut and beard notes, allergy or skin notes, preferred barber, visits and last visit. Set a commission percentage per barber once, then click a barber for this month's appointments, revenue and commission owed, tips excluded.
Barbershop appointment software
Barbershop booking software you use fifty times a day.
Barbershop appointment software, barbershop booking software and barbershop scheduling software are the same job at the front desk: get the client into the right chair at the right time without a double-booking. Here is how it does that.
Pick the client, barber and service
The price and the length come from your service menu. Change either for a longer visit.
Click an open time
The form lists the start times that barber is free, from your shop hours and their other bookings.
Rebook before they leave the chair
One click books them again in 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6 weeks, checking the calendar first.
It does not take bookings from your clients by itself: there is no public booking page and no booking widget for your website. You or your front desk enter the appointment; the app makes it fast and keeps the chairs from being double-booked.
Barbershop POS software
A simple barbershop POS for the sales record.
Record what was charged and how it was paid, not the card swipe itself.
Check out with the tip
Service price, tip and payment method (cash, card, gift card and more) in one step. The visit is marked Completed and the sale recorded.
Sell the pomade
A retail sale takes the quantity off your stock count and flags the product on the dashboard at its reorder level.
Reports that add it up
Income, expenses, net, no-show rate, walk-in share, average ticket, performance per barber and busiest days.
It does not process cards, connect to a card reader or print receipts. If your card terminal is separate, this is the record-keeping side of a barbershop POS.
One app, every chair
Built for every kind of barbershop.
A "service" is whatever you sell by the appointment — the same screens run a one-chair shop or a full crew.
Independent barbershops
An owner-barber with a few chairs, and a phone that never stops.
Multi-chair crews
Barbers on commission, a master barber, an apprentice, one column each.
Chair renters
Record chair rental as income alongside services and retail.
Walk-in shops
Add Walk-In at the next slot, and see walk-in share in your reports.
Why barbershops switch
You're not really choosing between two barbershop apps.
You're choosing between paying once and paying per barber or per chair, every month, for online booking and payment features a shop that takes its bookings by phone may never open.

Competitor pricing is a general market range for barbershop booking software as of September 2026, not a quote from any single company — check current pricing on each site. OwnDesk Barbershop does not take online bookings, send reminders or process card payments itself, and does not sync live between two computers; it is single-computer by design, with a backup file to move between devices.
From payment to your first appointment
Three steps, about two minutes.
Pay with card
Checkout runs on Stripe. Your card details never touch this site.
Download and open
The link appears the moment payment clears. Double-click the file — it opens in your browser, no install, no internet needed after that.
