The barber shop booking app that keeps your chair full — give regulars a way to lock in their slot every few weeks without messaging you each time.
Updated June 30, 2026
Your regulars want the same slot every three weeks. New clients find you on Instagram and DM for availability. Walk-ins show up while you're mid-cut. Managing all of this through messages means you put the clippers down to check your phone, and you still end up with gaps nobody filled because the enquiry got buried under three other chats. Tymeslot gives you a booking page your regulars can share and a link for your Instagram bio, so people pick from your live availability instead of messaging you and you stay focused on the cut.
Most independent barbers juggle three booking channels — Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, and walk-ins — and none of them protects the chair from a booked client who never turns up. Calendly and Acuity assume an office video call, so they have no concept of a deposit on file before you hold a 45-minute slot. Booksy can take a deposit, but it puts that feature and no-show fees behind a premium subscription most independents skip.
The lost revenue is easy to underestimate. A barber charging €25 for a haircut and €40 for a cut-and-beard who absorbs two no-shows a week is forfeiting €260–€320 a month, every month. Add a third during a busy weekend slot, and a year of unpaid holds quietly drains into four figures, while walk-ins who would happily have taken the slot were turned away because the chair was "booked".
Tymeslot makes a deposit at booking the default, not a paid extra. Stripe collects it when the client picks the slot, it becomes a no-show fee if they don't arrive, and the rest of the day stays open for walk-ins around bookings that already have money behind them. The chair fills with clients who have committed, and the walk-in flow finally has room.
Scheduling features shaped around how your practice works.
Set up separate booking types for a haircut, cut and beard, and beard trim — each with the exact duration you need for tight back-to-back scheduling.
Configure just enough buffer between appointments to sweep up and get set — without leaving dead gaps that waste chair time.
Clients get an automatic confirmation when they book and a reminder before their appointment — cutting down on no-shows without any chasing.
Collect a deposit via Stripe the moment a client picks a slot, and convert it into a no-show fee if they don't turn up. Regulars rebook in seconds, walk-ins still fit around solid bookings, and the chair stops bleeding money to unpaid holds.
Send regulars a direct link to their preferred service so they can rebook in seconds. Share it on WhatsApp — one tap and they're locked in for their next visit.
No advertising pixels or tracking scripts on booking pages. Client appointment data stays with you — never in an advertising profile. Open-source and self-hostable for full control.
Same profession. Completely different scheduling experience.

How other Barbers use Tymeslot every day.
Regulars are the backbone of any barbershop, but without a simple way to rebook they drift. A direct booking link removes all friction from the rebooking process.
Instagram brings new clients to your chair — if the path from discovery to booking is short enough. A bio link that goes straight to your booking page closes that gap instantly.
A barbershop lives and dies by chair utilisation. Gaps between appointments are lost revenue. Correctly-sized appointment types and minimal buffers keep the day running smoothly.
