I cannot cut and answer at the same time
Clippers down, find the book, flick to Saturday, ask him to hold. Two minutes gone, the fade sits half-done, the next client checks his watch.

How does online booking work for a barbershop?
Online booking gives your barbershop a page where clients choose a service, a barber and one of the free slots, and confirm from their phone. With TapTime the page reads each barber's working hours and existing appointments, so only real free times are offered. The client gets a confirmation email and a reminder 24 hours before, and can cancel or move the appointment from the link in that email.
The phone rings on the second guard. Every time.
You are halfway through a skin fade and the phone goes. Stop and lose the line, or let it ring and lose the booking. The client in the chair loses either way.
Regulars want the same slot every month and I have no way to hold it
He wants Tuesday at 18:00 with the same barber, every four weeks. On paper that means a call every month and a fair chance somebody else has already taken it.
Bookings come in at night and get answered in the morning
Half the messages arrive after we close. By the time we reply the next day, the guy has walked into the shop down the road.
A booking page that only shows chairs that are actually free.
Set up your cuts and barbers once. From then on the page offers real free slots, sends the confirmations and lets regulars rebook without a call.
-
Real free slots only
The page reads each barber's hours and existing bookings and shows the client what is actually open. A slot taken at the counter disappears from the page as soon as it is saved.
-
Cuts with duration, price and buffer
A skin fade is 40 minutes, a cut and beard is an hour, and you want five minutes to sweep the chair. Set price, length and buffer once; the calendar keeps to them.
-
Regulars rebook their barber
The client opens the same link, picks his barber and the same Tuesday slot next month. If it is free, it is his in two taps. No call, no “let me check”.
-
Their barber, or anyone available
Each barber has a photo, a title and their own hours. Clients pick a name, or choose “anyone available” and see the slots that are free for any of them.
-
Confirmation and a reminder the day before
Every booking gets a confirmation email, and a reminder goes out 24 hours before with a link to cancel or move the appointment. Fewer forgotten cuts, no calling round.
-
One link on Instagram, Google and WhatsApp
Put the booking link in your bio, on your Google Business profile and in WhatsApp replies. It opens in the browser; nobody installs anything.
Set it up between two clients, take bookings tonight.
No onboarding call, no setup fee, no hardware. You add what is already on the board behind the chair.

Phone and paper diary versus online booking, honestly.
Phone, DMs and a paper diary
- A call during a fade. Stop, or let it ring
- A regular rebooking next month. A call, a search through the book, maybe taken
- Booking after closing. Answered in the morning, if at all
- Finding a free slot. Flick through the diary while he holds
- The day before. Nobody reminds anybody
- What it costs. Missed calls and empty chairs
TapTime online booking
- A call during a fade. The booking lands in the calendar on its own
- A regular rebooking next month. Same barber, same slot, two taps from the link
- Booking after closing. Booked at 23:00, confirmed at 23:00
- Finding a free slot. The page shows only what is free
- The day before. A reminder email with a reschedule link
- What it costs. From 669 PHP a month for up to 3 barbers
Thursday, 17:50, at Kings Cut.
How one evening looks when the page takes the bookings.
-
Halfway through a skin fade, the phone buzzes in the drawer and stays there. A client is booking Saturday's 10:00 with Marco on the page.
-
A regular opens last month's confirmation email, taps the link and rebooks the same Tuesday at 18:00 with Dan. Done before his coffee is cold.
-
The reminder emails for tomorrow have gone out. One client moves his 12:00 to 15:00 from the link; the 12:00 slot is back on the page within the minute.
-
The shop has been closed for three hours. Two more bookings arrive for Friday. Tomorrow's calendar is full before anyone has turned a key.
A booking during a fade becomes a quiet ping, and the ad that sent it gets the credit
The phone stays in the drawer; the booking still reaches the team chat and the ad that earned it. Chat alerts, conversion tracking, automations and the API are included with appointments at no extra cost and no per-event fee.
How conversions, webhooks and the API work
The Instagram ad that booked Saturday’s 10:00
When a client books from your Meta ad and the booking is confirmed, Meta, Google Ads and GA4 get one conversion valued at the cut’s price, sent from the server. Walk-ins typed in at the counter never count.
A Telegram ping instead of a ringing phone
Every new booking posts to the shop’s Telegram group, Discord or Slack in seconds: who, when and how much. You read it between clients, with a link straight back to the calendar.
Every client in a Google Sheet, no code
Zapier, Make, n8n or Pipedream can add each client who books to a Google Sheet or a Mailchimp list, ready for the next offer you send. No code: paste the address, press Send test.
For the shop’s own website or app
Signed webhooks push every booking to your own website or app, and the REST API reads appointments and an event feed. Keys are made in the dashboard, and the docs are open at /docs/api.
Priced by barbers, not by bookings.
From 669 PHP a month for up to 3 barbers and 10 services; up to 7 barbers is 1 189 PHP. The booking page, the calendar, confirmation and reminder emails and unlimited bookings are included.
More than one shop? Each location gets its own booking page and its own subscription, managed from the same dashboard. A loyalty card for your regulars can be added later; modules are switched on separately.

Questions barbershop owners ask before switching.
Do clients need an app to book?
No. The booking page opens in the phone's browser from the link. Any iPhone or Android phone, no download and no account to create.
Can a regular book the same barber every time?
Yes. The client picks his barber on the page, and the slots shown are that barber's free times. Next month he opens the same link and books the same slot again if it is free.
Will the page double-book a chair?
No. It reads each barber's working hours, days off and existing bookings and shows only what is free. A booking typed in at the counter takes the slot off the page immediately.
Can I still take walk-ins and phone bookings?
Yes. Type them into the calendar and they sit in the same list as the page bookings. The page always knows which slots are left.
Do clients get a reminder?
Yes. A confirmation email at booking time, and a reminder email 24 hours before the appointment with a link to cancel or reschedule.
How long does setup take?
Most shops are live the same day: add the cuts with their duration and price, add each barber with their hours, paste the link into Instagram and Google.
What does it cost and is there a contract?
From 669 PHP a month for up to 3 barbers and 10 services, paid monthly by card. No contract, no setup fee. The first 14 days are free and you do not enter a card to start.
What happens if I stop paying?
After a short grace period the booking page is paused and shows a brief “temporarily unavailable” note. Nothing is deleted. Start again and your barbers, services and bookings are exactly where you left them.
Can I get a Telegram message for every new booking at my barbershop?
Yes. Create a Telegram bot with @BotFather, add it to the shop’s group, channel or one topic of a group, and the TapTime dashboard finds the chat for you; every new booking then posts there in seconds. Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord and Mattermost work the same way, and you choose which events each chat hears.
Let the next cut book itself.
Fourteen days free, no card, cancel any time. Your booking page can be live before the last client leaves tonight.
