Barber bookings and appointments

Barber bookings and appointments

Quick answer - Bookings is the live appointment diary. Use it to check the day, plan the week, review the month, and add appointments for walk-ins, calls, DMs, or returning clients.

Use this guide when - Staff need to manage barber appointments during the day.

Before you start - Make sure booking types, staff assignments, hours, and booking policies are already set.

  1. Choose Bookings from the left menu.
  2. Use Day, Week, or Month depending on what you need to check.

Useful notes tell the team what to do. “Prefers John if available” or “Arriving with child” is useful. “Nice customer” is not enough to change how staff handle the appointment.
