Get started free

Free forever on Starter · No card required · 0% commission

Built around how barbers actually work

No-shows eating up your chair time

Require a deposit to book and send automatic text + email reminders before every appointment. Empty chairs become the exception.

Other apps taking a cut of every cut

Bontro charges 0% commission. You keep 100% of what you charge — you only pay standard card processing when a client pays by card.

Phone tag and double-bookings

Clients book your real-time availability 24/7 from your own booking link. Your calendar updates instantly, so two clients never land in the same slot.

Juggling regulars and walk-ins

Set up recurring appointments for your regulars and book a walk-in in a few taps from the app. Their cut history and notes are always a tap away.

Everything you need to run the chair

Deposits to lock in the chair

Require a deposit at booking so clients show up — or you keep the deposit if they don’t.

Automatic reminders

Text and email reminders go out before each appointment so clients never forget.

Your own booking page

Share one link in your Instagram bio. Clients see your services, prices, and open slots.

Get paid your way

Take card payments, send payment requests, or collect in person — money lands in your bank.

Client history

Every client’s past cuts, notes, and spend, ready before they sit down.

Recurring bookings

Set the “every 2 weeks” regulars on autopilot so they always have a slot.

Questions barbers ask

Is Bontro really free for barbers?

Yes. The Starter plan is $0 forever and includes up to 35 bookings a month. You can upgrade later if you outgrow it, but you never have to.

Does Bontro take a commission on my bookings?

No. Bontro charges 0% commission — unlike apps that take a cut of every appointment. You only pay standard card-processing fees when a client pays by card.

Can I require a deposit so clients show up?

Yes. You can require a deposit at booking for any service. Combined with automatic reminders, it’s the most effective way to cut no-shows.

Can clients book without calling me?

Yes. You get a personal booking link to put in your Instagram bio or text to clients. They pick a service and an open time — no phone tag.

Do I need a website?

No. Your Bontro booking page works as your online storefront, with your services, prices, and availability built in.
