About Booksy

Booksy is booking and business software for barbershops, hair and nail salons, tattoo artists and other beauty and wellness professionals. Businesses get online booking around the clock, a calendar, automatic confirmations and reminders, client records, built-in marketing messages and payments, while their clients book through the Booksy consumer app or a link, and the consumer app is free to use. Pricing is a flat monthly subscription for the business with a charge for each additional team member, plus card processing fees if you take payments through Booksy; a 14-day trial lets you test everything first. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps for both pros and clients. Booksy's model is simpler to understand than commission-based marketplaces, but it is focused firmly on beauty and grooming, so other service businesses will find features and templates that don't fit them.

Best for: Barbers, stylists and beauty pros whose clients like booking from an app.
