The barber booking system built for UK barbershops.
A barber booking system lets clients book a cut on their phone, pick their barber or take the first available chair, without calling ahead. Mintbook sets one up as your own branded booking website from £149 a month, with 0% commission on every cut.
What a barber booking system should include
Barbershops run on speed and regulars. Mintbook includes:
- A booking website in your shop’s name, built and hosted for you
- Clients take the first available chair or pick their barber
- Repeat appointments for regulars at a set interval of weeks
- A card saved at booking, with nothing charged, and an automatic no-show fee you set
- Confirmation and reminder emails, plus a review request after each visit
- An owner dashboard with the whole shop’s diary
- Your existing client list imported from a CSV export
Walk-ins or bookings?
You do not have to choose. You can keep taking walk-ins and use online booking for regulars and busy times. First available booking gets a new client into the next free chair, and repeat appointments keep your regulars on a steady cycle.

Booksy costs £40 a month plus £5 per extra barber, plus VAT, and its optional Boost charges 30% on new clients. Fresha starts at £14.95 a month and charges 20% on new marketplace clients. Both cost less than Mintbook each month. Mintbook is for shops that want their own website and no marketplace fees.

How much does a barber booking system cost?
Barber booking apps range from free plans to £40 a month plus VAT for Booksy, plus any marketplace fees. Mintbook costs £149, £249 or £349 a month with no commission, and includes your own website built for you.
Can clients book the first available barber?
Yes. Clients can pick a named barber or choose first available, and see open times for whichever they choose. The booking goes straight into your owner dashboard, with a confirmation email to the client.
