Booking Software for Barbershops and Salons

Clients book a person. Everything else follows.

Somebody loyal to their barber does not want a list of times. They want that chair. Queueist asks who first, then shows only the services that person does and only the times they are actually free.

Availability is never cached. Every time on screen is computed from your posted hours, each person's own schedule and the book as it stands, and it is checked again in the instant a booking is written. Two people tapping the same slot cannot both get it.

The Order It Asks In

Most software asks the last question first.

Pick a service. Pick a time. Now find out the person you wanted is not free at it, go back, and guess again. That loop is why a regular gives up and phones the shop, and why the front desk is answering the phone during a cut.

01 Who Your roster, in the order you print it on your own website. Or First Available, which takes whoever is open soonest and spreads the work across the shop rather than piling it on one chair.
02 What Only the services that person actually performs. A barber who does not do color is never offered for it, so the booking that reaches your board is one you can honor.
03 When Only the times that person is genuinely free: posted hours, their own weekly pattern, their lunch break, your closures, and everything already in the book.
04 Who For A name and a mobile number. No account, no password, no email required. Where you ask for a card, it is held and not charged.

What the Book Does

One book for your whole shop.

Everything below is running today. Where something is not built yet, it is not on this list.

Day Board: Every chair, one day, one screen, with a live now-line. Tap an open cell to write in a walk-in or block time out.
Never Double-Booked: Slots are computed fresh and re-checked at the moment of writing. Nothing is cached, so nothing goes stale between two page loads.
First Available: Assigns whoever is open soonest and, on a tie, the lightest book. The shop's own roster order breaks the last tie.
Self-Serve Waitlist: Clients request a service and a window that works. A cancellation offers the opening to the list; text notifications open when carrier registration is complete.
Standing Appointments: Every three weeks, same chair, same time. Materialized ahead so the regulars are already in the book.
Change, Not Cancel: Moving an appointment keeps its confirmation code and checks the new time before releasing the old one. You can move it without starting again.

Manage a Booking: Clients can change or cancel from their confirmation link. Phone sign-in for all appointments opens when texting is available.
Calendar Invites: A real .ics for Apple and Outlook and a Google link, on the confirmation page and in the emailed copy.
Card on File: Optional, per shop. Stripe saves the card. Queueist never receives the card number, and booking does not charge it.
Your Own Words: A barbershop's clients pick a Barber, a salon's pick a Stylist, a spa's pick a Therapist. One setting, no code.
Phone Bookings: Operator, our AI receptionist, can book, reschedule and cancel in this same book. Staff and callers use one schedule.

For Shops

Built with a working shop.

Pilot Setup: Tell us your team size and how you take bookings today. We will confirm setup and pricing before your shop starts using Queueist.
Text Messages: Confirmations go by email today. Texting opens after carrier registration; the app tells clients when texts are unavailable.
Who It Fits: A shop where clients ask for someone by name: a barbershop, a salon, a studio with a handful of chairs. Clients who want the soonest time can choose First Available or start with a time.

Want the phone answered too? Operator is the AI voice assistant that manages appointments in Queueist. Queueist also works on its own for online and front-desk bookings.
