Getting started

What barber.rsvp is and how to get your shop taking bookings.

What is barber.rsvp?

barber.rsvp is booking and management software for independent barbershops and salons. Clients book online, you take payment, and the day runs from one place.

  • Online booking with per-barber schedules
  • Payments through your own Stripe account, so payouts land in your bank
  • Memberships, coupons, no-show protection, and a tip jar
  • Automated text reminders, reviews, and win-back messages
  • Reports on revenue, chair utilization, and memberships
You keep your own client list and your own payment relationship. barber.rsvp is not a marketplace, so it never sells your clients a competitor down the street.

Set up your shop

  1. 1Add your shop details: name, timezone, description, phone, address, and a photo.
  2. 2Set your opening hours (or, for a one-chair shop, your own weekly schedule).
  3. 3Add your services with prices and durations.
  4. 4Add your barbers and their schedules.
  5. 5Connect payouts so clients can pay you.
  6. 6Share your booking link.
The onboarding checklist in the app tracks these for you and marks each one done as you go.

Share your booking page

Every shop has a public booking page. Copy the link from the Settings page (the share card at the top) and put it in your Instagram bio, Google profile, and anywhere clients find you.

On Legion you can also point your own domain at the booking page, or use one brand link that lists all your locations.

Get the mobile app

barber.rsvp has a free operator app for iPhone and Android. Everything you do on the web works there too, but the real reason to install it is push notifications: you find out the moment something happens at the shop, without keeping the calendar open.

What it notifies you about

  • A new appointment is booked
  • An appointment is rescheduled
  • An appointment is canceled
  • A client checks in
  • A new review comes in
  • A membership is sold
  • A client texts back (Legion)

Get the app

  1. 1Download barber.rsvp from the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android). The download buttons are also on our homepage.
  2. 2Sign in with your operator login, the same email and password you use on the web.
  3. 3Allow notifications when the app asks, so alerts can reach you.

Choose what you are notified about

Open Account, then Notifications, to turn individual alerts on or off. Barbers get the appointment, waitlist and review alerts for their own chair; owners also get an alert when a membership is sold or canceled. On Legion, barbers are alerted when their own clients text back, and owners and managers can opt into every client text.

Push notifications need the app installed and notifications allowed on your device. If you stop getting them, check your phone's notification settings for barber.rsvp.
