What Barberly is
Barberly is a booking and business-management service for barbershops and salons, with tools for appointments, walk-ins, payments and marketing. Shops can publish a branded mobile app with booking, waitlist, payment and loyalty features, and provide a booking website on a custom domain or embedded in an existing site. A tablet can act as a self-check-in kiosk, adding walk-ins to a queue alongside online bookings; the appointment board displays both upcoming appointments and the queue. Clients can book from a shop’s Google Search or Maps profile. Barberly supports Stripe, Square, Revolut and SumUp and says it charges no commission on payments. Shops can require deposits, saved card details or advance payment, and set fees for no-shows and late cancellations. Plans include unlimited locations, team members, services and app users, with no per-booking fee. The subscription includes 500 SMS notifications per month; additional messages cost $0.03 each. Plans start at $9/mo, and a 30-day trial includes every feature without a credit card.
