Why barbers and beauty pros switch

Booksy is a marketplace. 1MinuteBooking is your own booking page for the clients you already bring in.

No monthly fee, no commission

Free with no time limit. Nothing is taken from new clients; card payments go to your own Stripe account with 2% on top of Stripe's fee.

Only your business on your page

Your link shows your services, prices and photos, with no other shops listed next to you.

Add-ons that add up

Beard trim, lash fill, nail art: clients see the price and the time add up as they pick, and only get start times you're free for.

Your own domain and look

Pro adds your logo, colors and font, removes our branding and puts your page on book.yourbusiness.com, for $10 a month.

Deposits and no-shows

Ask for a deposit or the full price by card when clients book, and set how late they can cancel or reschedule online.

Mobile work too

Going to clients? Travel fees and drive time by distance are built in, and quote requests take photos.

Who should switch

A good fit

Solo barbers, lash and nail techs, stylists and groomers whose clients come from Instagram, Google and word of mouth, and who don't want a monthly bill or a cut of new clients.

When to keep Booksy

If Booksy's marketplace is bringing you new clients every week, or you rely on text reminders and its card readers, it may be worth what it costs.

Setting up takes minutes: pick your trade and your services, add-ons, prices and quote questions are filled in for you to edit. Share your link on Google, Instagram or your website.
