Barber shop booking system

• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla barbershop booking software differ from typical beauty salon calendars?
  Typical hairdresser and barbershop booking calendars only allow you to record appointment times. Anolla is a comprehensive all-in-one revenue-growing barbershop booking and business management platform for barber and hair services salons. Within a single system, it combines online booking, customer relationship management (CRM), automated reminders, and workload management for all barbers and hairdressers. Unlike a static calendar, Anolla uses AI to fill empty time slots and reduce no-shows. Anolla supports dynamic pricing for haircuts, beard styling, and grooming packages. The same system manages hourly cuts, longer grooming services, and multi-day trainings or rental barbershop workstations in parallel.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support hourly and multi-day bookings at a barbershop at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s key advantages as barbershop booking software. Unlike many beauty service booking systems, Anolla does not confine you to classic 30–60-minute haircut slots. The platform supports hourly haircuts and shaves, day-based grooming packages, trainings, and rentable chairs or barbershop workspaces all at once. You can also manage services with variable duration such as complex style cuts or full-service grooming packages. All bookings are consolidated under a single barbershop calendar, regardless of barber or service type. Thanks to this, Anolla is a perfect fit for hybrid business models where barbershops offer classic haircuts, men’s grooming, product sales or rental, and training days within the same system.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce front-desk workload and booking errors in barbershops?
  Anolla’s automated AI customer support assistant answers barbershop clients’ booking and pricing inquiries 24/7 without administrator involvement. The assistant automatically resolves up to 79.3%¹ of all standard questions, such as haircut times, beard trimming services, price list explanations and booking changes. It also handles up to 52.4%¹ of first-level technical support related to online booking, payments or client account usage. The result is a significantly lower volume of phone calls and social media messages and fewer overlapping bookings or incorrectly entered times. Automated customer communication reduces barbershop admin time by up to 39.3%¹, giving barbers more time to serve clients and upsell services.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s dynamic pricing help barbershops optimize prices for haircuts and grooming services?
  Anolla’s dynamic pricing module automates pricing strategies in barbershops for haircuts, shaves, and grooming packages. Salon owners can configure rules that change prices for haircuts and beard styling by time of day, day of week, season, stylist demand, or customer group. For example, quiet weekday mornings can be filled with discounted men’s haircut campaigns, while Friday peak hours carry higher prices for premium styles and grooming packages. All price changes are applied automatically according to the barbershop’s business rules, without manual adjustment for each booking. The result is a better-filled calendar, higher average spend per visit, and greater profitability from every barber chair.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable both for a single barbershop stylist and for a chain with multiple salons?
  Yes, Anolla barbershop booking software is designed to scale from a solo barber to multi-location men’s grooming chains. A single barber or small barbershop can start with a powerful free plan that covers online booking, client calendar and basic reminders. Growing shops and salon chains spread across multiple cities can use centralized management, where one account can host unlimited salons, barbers and administrators. Role-based access gives owners and managers an overview of occupancy and revenue across the whole chain, while each barber has access only to their personal schedule and client calendar. This makes Anolla suitable for both one-chair barbers and large barbershop brands.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich tools and payment solutions does the Anolla barbershop booking software connect with?
  Anolla is built with an API-first architecture, allowing barbershops to easily connect their booking system with existing technology. For processing online payments, there is a direct integration with the Stripe payment solution, suitable for haircut prepayments, shaving gift cards and prepaid bookings of grooming packages. For marketing and customer flow analytics, the software supports integrations such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel, which help measure barbershop campaign performance and booking sources. The API makes it possible to export raw data on bookings, barber occupancy and customer visits to BI/ML tools to analyse, for example, the best haircut times or client return frequency. In addition, the platform offers integrations with other salon management, accounting and marketing tools so that the entire barbershop business process is covered by a single system.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat does the free barbershop package include and what do the paid modules add?
  Anolla’s free plan includes all the key tools a barbershop needs to start online booking: barber calendars, a limited number of services such as men’s cuts, shaves and clipper cuts, email notifications and a basic client base. This tier is perfect for a solo barber or a new barbershop that wants to start taking appointments online quickly. Paid modules add unlimited automation (SMS reminders, follow-up emails to collect feedback, repeat-visit campaigns), extended integrations (accounting, CRM, marketing platforms) and customer loyalty modules such as a points system, VIP memberships and personalized pricing for regular clients. This way every barbershop can choose exactly the level of functionality that matches its business model.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing help a barbershop reduce risks?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing is designed so that men’s hair salons and barbershops do not have to pay high monthly fees during periods with fewer clients. Booking software costs grow in proportion to the actual volume of bookings, meaning that seasonal barbershops – for example during summer holidays or quieter times after public holidays – do not pay for empty slots. This model is ideal both for new barbers still building their client base and for established barbershops whose demand fluctuates by weekday, season and marketing campaigns.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can a barbershop start using Anolla’s booking system?
  Launching a barbershop on Anolla booking software typically takes just a few minutes. A 24/7 context-aware AI assistant guides you step by step from adding your first haircut service to publishing barbers’ schedules and your booking link on your website or social media. According to Capterra, Anolla’s ease of use is rated 5/5¹, and nine out of ten team members master the core functions – timetables, modifying bookings and using client records – in under 30 minutes¹. This means that both experienced barbers and new apprentices can quickly work with the calendar independently.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat makes Anolla’s barbershop booking software a future-proof solution?
  Anolla is a future-proof barbershop booking software solution thanks to its extensible modular architecture and AI-driven evolution. The platform continually develops on a cloud-based infrastructure, adding new features for appointment scheduling, client loyalty growth, and revenue optimization. Unlike static salon programs, Anolla is built around a powerful API that enables barbershops to connect the system with new payment solutions, marketing platforms, and analytics tools. The extensible architecture also supports an IoT ecosystem, such as access control that automatically grants entry to clients with confirmed bookings and payments, equipment rental management for barbers, and various in-salon sensors. This ensures that barbershop tools keep pace with technological developments and help the salon maintain a long-term competitive edge.
