What shops tell us about Squire

Payments on their terms

Squire runs your card payments through its own system, and charges 2% of your deposits if you want same-day payout.

Your clients pay to book

On top of what you pay each month, Squire charges your clients a $1-3 fee on every booking, a cost your regulars feel, not you.

Sold hard, supported later

Public reviews describe pushy sales and reps who go quiet once the contract is signed, with some features gated until you escalate to support.

Or run it as a Collective

Rent chairs to independent barbers, each keeping their own booking page, prices, clients, and payouts, while you sponsor their seats on one bill. Chairs start at $24.50 a month and the rate drops as the room fills, down to $15.00, so growing your shop lowers your cost per chair. No per-booking or same-day-payout fees like Squire's.

Make the switch in an afternoon

Import your clients, set your services and hours, and share your booking link the same day. Keep your clients, your payments, and your money.

No credit card required.

Switching from Squire: common questions

Can I bring my clients and history over from Squire?+

Yes. Import your client list and start booking the same day. On barber.rsvp your clients and their history are always yours to export, never locked inside the platform.

Does barber.rsvp add a per-booking fee like Squire?+

No. Squire adds roughly $1-3 to each booking, charged to your clients. On barber.rsvp booking is free for your clients and there's no per-appointment fee.

How do card payments and payouts work compared to Squire?+

Payments run through your own Stripe account at standard rates and land directly with you, not processed through barber.rsvp, with no 2% same-day payout fee and no undisclosed markup.

How long does switching from Squire take?+

Most shops are live in an afternoon: import your clients, set your services and hours, and share your booking link the same day.

I rent chairs to independent barbers. Can barber.rsvp handle that?+

Yes, either with a Shop or a Collective. If your chairs run as one storefront (a shared menu and price list, one booking page, you running the book), that's a Shop, and one flat plan covers every chair. If each barber runs their own business (their own booking page, prices, clients, and payouts) under your roof, that's a Collective, where you sponsor their seats and pay one bill. Either way, no marketplace comes between your barbers and their clients.
