From a one-chair barber to a multi-chair shop
Boona scales with how you actually work — solo, mobile, or a full team.
Independent & mobile barbers
A clean booking link for your bio, reminders that cut no-shows, and a 24/7 schedule — without a marketplace taking a cut of the regulars you brought in yourself.
Multi-chair shops
A per-chair calendar, walk-in tracking and staff schedules, so two barbers never land in the same chair. Each barber sees only what they need to.
Growing teams
Per-barber payroll and commission, financial reports and back-bar stock tracking — the operations layer most barber apps lock behind higher tiers.
Everything a barbershop needs, nothing it doesn't
The tools barbers actually search for — confirmed in Boona, not paid add-ons.
24/7 online booking
A private booking link and embeddable widget. Clients self-book from your Instagram bio in seconds — no app to download.
Walk-in tracking
Log walk-ins and manage the queue from the admin panel, right alongside booked appointments.
Automatic reminders
Email and push reminders before every appointment to cut no-shows. (Boona sends email + push — not SMS.)
Waitlist & last-minute fill
Clients join a waitlist for a barber, and quiet slots can be auto-discounted in the widget to fill the chair.
Payroll & commission
Track each barber's commission and payouts automatically — no month-end spreadsheet.
Back-bar stock
Track product usage and stock levels so you never run out mid-fade.

Where most barber apps fall short
Three things that quietly cost barbershops money.
You're taxed on your own regulars
Marketplace apps can take up to a 30% cut when a client books through them — even clients you brought in yourself. Over a year, that's a second rent.
Boona charges 0% commission. Every booking is 100% yours.
A barber leaves and takes the chair's clients
On a shared marketplace, a client can tap a barber's name and find their new shop — the app may even notify them. Your book walks out the door.
Boona is your private system, not a marketplace. Remove a barber and they vanish for clients; the client stays on your page.
Surprise fees make YOU look bad
Booking and 'service' fees the platform adds at checkout land on your client's receipt — and they blame the shop, not the app.
Boona never charges your client to book. No client-side fees, ever.
Barbershop booking software FAQ
What's the best booking app for a barbershop?
It depends on your shop. Marketplace apps like Fresha add discovery but take a commission on new clients (around 20%) and put your book on a shared platform; all-in-one tools like Vagaro or GlossGenius drop the commission but cost more per month and are limited to certain countries. If you'd rather keep 100% of every cut, own your client list, and pay a flat low price anywhere, a private system like Boona gives barbershops the same booking, walk-in and payout tools for $2/mo + $1 per barber.
Is there a barbershop booking app with no commission?
Yes. Boona charges 0% commission — you keep 100% of every booking — for a flat $2/mo + $1 per barber, with no client-side booking fees.
Can clients book without downloading an app?
Yes. Boona gives you a private booking link for your Instagram bio, website or DMs. Clients tap, pick a barber and a time, and book in under a minute — no app or account required.
Does it handle walk-ins and multiple chairs?
Yes. Boona's per-chair calendar tracks walk-ins alongside booked appointments, and each barber can have their own schedule and online-booking availability.
How much does barbershop software cost?
Boona is $2/month plus $1 per barber, with the first 3 months free and no commission. For a 3-chair shop that's about $5/month — versus roughly $31–$50/month on comparable plans from Fresha or Vagaro, and Fresha adds a ~20% new-client fee on top.
