Booking Software Built for Barbers
Keep your chair full with booked appointments — and give regulars a way to lock in their slot every few weeks without messaging you each time.
Why do barbers lose time to booking admin instead of cutting hair?
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're context-switching constantly — and still ending up with gaps nobody filled because the enquiry got buried. Tymeslot gives you a booking page your regulars can share, a link for your Instagram bio, and a schedule that runs itself so you can focus on the cut.
Everything Barbers need. Nothing they don't.
Purpose-built scheduling features for your practice — without the bloat.
Short-Duration Appointment Types
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.
Minimal Buffer Between Clients
Configure just enough buffer between appointments to sweep up and get set — without leaving dead gaps that waste chair time.
Confirmations and Reminders
Clients get an automatic confirmation when they book and a reminder before their appointment — cutting down on no-shows without any chasing.
Instagram Bio Booking Link
Drop your Tymeslot booking link into your Instagram bio. New clients go straight from your feed to a confirmed appointment — no DMs needed.
Direct Link for Regulars
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.
Privacy-First, No Tracking
No ads, no analytics tracking your clients, no third-party data sharing. Open source and self-hostable if you want full control.

Common scheduling scenarios
How other Barbers use Tymeslot every day.
How do I keep regulars coming back on their usual schedule?
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.
- Set up your haircut and beard service types in Tymeslot with the correct durations.
- Send each regular their personal booking page link via WhatsApp — one message, one tap to rebook.
- Regulars pick their preferred day and time from your live availability every 2–4 weeks.
- They get an automatic confirmation and reminder — and your chair fills with familiar faces.
How do I convert Instagram followers into booked clients?
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.
- Add your Tymeslot booking page link to your Instagram bio.
- Add a call to action to your posts and reels: 'Book via link in bio'.
- New clients tap the link, choose their service, and pick an available slot — no DM required.
- They receive a confirmation email and reminder, and show up ready for their cut.
How do I run a tight back-to-back schedule without gaps?
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.
- Create event types with precise durations: haircut (30 min), cut and beard (45 min), beard trim (20 min).
- Set a short cleanup buffer (5 minutes) after each service — enough to prepare, not enough to waste.
- Set a minimum advance booking notice so clients can't book with less than an hour's warning.
- Your calendar presents only slots that fit cleanly into the day — no awkward gaps, no overruns.

"My regulars used to text me every few weeks asking if I had time. Now I send them the link once and they rebook themselves. I've also picked up a dozen new clients who found me on Instagram and booked directly — I never had to reply to a DM."
