For barbershops

A booking app for your barbershop, under your shop's name.

MeetScarlet is a barbershop booking app that your clients download under your shop's name: they book a cut with their barber, join the walk-in line with a wait estimate, pay and tip in the app. Our team sets it up and publishes it to your own App Store and Google Play accounts for $349 a month.

Your clients should book in an app with your shop's name on it, not someone else's. This video shows how your shop gets one without building it, and how our team sets it all up, from your barbers' hours to the App Store.

What your clients do in the app

Your clients download an app with your name on it from the App Store or Google Play, or open it on the web. In it they can:

  • Book a cut with a chosen barber, or the first one free
  • Join the walk-in line from their phone, even on the way in, and see an estimated wait
  • Add a tip when they pay
  • Tap Book again after a cut to see open times a few weeks out, with the same barber when they are free
  • Pay by card and keep a card on file
  • See upcoming bookings and cancel or reschedule inside your rules
  • Book from a link without an account, in their own language: the guest booking page comes in 32 languages

Made for how barbershops work

A walk-in line next to the appointment book

Clients join the line from the app, or tell you they are on their way, and see an estimated wait based on who is cutting and what is already booked. Your barbers see appointments and walk-ins together.

Cut memberships

Sell a monthly plan with a set number of cuts, and packs of visits. Clients see how many cuts they have left in the app, and memberships renew on their own.

Tips and deposits

Clients can tip when they pay. For busy slots you can ask for a deposit or full payment when someone books, and you can switch on a no-show fee charged to the saved card when a barber marks a no-show.

Rebooking that keeps the chair full

After a cut, the app offers times on the same weekday a few weeks later, with the same barber when they are free. You set the number of weeks for each service, or switch it off.

What we set up for you

For a barbershop we set up each barber with their own services, prices and hours, turn on the walk-in line next to the appointment book, create your cut membership (for example two cuts a month) and set how many weeks after a cut the app offers the next one.

We import your client list from a spreadsheet or CSV export and do the App Store and Google Play submission work in your own developer accounts. About 4 to 6 weeks for the store apps, most of it Apple's enrollment. Your web app's link is ready during setup, and members can book there as soon as you choose your MeetScarlet plan. They keep the same account when the store apps launch.

When MeetScarlet is not the right fit

  • Shops that want most new clients to come from a marketplace app. Your MeetScarlet app is yours alone, so new clients find you through your own marketing.
  • A single barber who only needs a booking link. A simple scheduling tool costs less.

Weighing other options? Read MeetScarlet vs Booksy, MeetScarlet vs Squire, MeetScarlet vs theCut, MeetScarlet vs Fresha and the barbershop app guide; each names what the other tools do better than MeetScarlet.
