Business Scheduling

Barbershop booking app, with WhatsApp reminders

Timing is a booking app built for barbershops and barbers in Israel. It sends automatic WhatsApp reminders before every appointment (from Basic, ₪79 a month on the website), lets clients self-book 24/7 through a unique link, and manages one shared calendar for the whole team, filtered by barber (from Professional) - all without unnecessary phone calls. Fewer no-shows, fewer empty slots.

Challenges Facing Barbershops

Endless phone calls to schedule and reschedule appointments waste hours every week

No-shows cause significant lost revenue with no automatic follow-up

Coordinating a calendar when several barbers work at once is error-prone

No visibility into revenue reports or customer data

Clients can't self-book at night or on weekends

Sending every client a reminder by hand takes time every day

How It Works, Step by Step

Build your service menu
Set up each service with a duration and a price: a haircut, a beard trim, a haircut and beard, a kids' cut. Timing shows clients only the times where the service they picked fits in your calendar.
Set your hours, breaks and days off
On every plan you set working hours, block time for a lunch break (one that repeats every day too) or for days off, and add a rest after each appointment, from 5 minutes to 2 hours, to clean the chair and tools.
Share your link
Your booking page link goes in your Instagram bio, your WhatsApp status and your Google business profile. Clients book from it themselves, from any phone, without downloading an app.
Bookings land in your calendar
A new booking is confirmed at once or waits for your approval, by one setting for the whole business. Every client is kept on a card with their visit history and your notes, which the client never sees.
Reminders, and a regular slot for regulars
From the Basic plan, every client gets an automatic WhatsApp reminder before the appointment, at the time you chose. A client who comes every week at the same time, or once a month, gets a recurring appointment, on every plan.

A Sample Service Menu

The services and lengths here are an example. In Timing each business sets up its own services, each with its own duration and price, and the free times on the booking page are worked out from the duration.

Service	Typical length	How to set it up in Timing
Men's haircut	30 min	A basic service with a duration and a price. If a clipper cut is shorter than a scissor cut, set them up as two services.
Haircut and beard	45 min	Set the combination up as a service of its own, with its own duration and price, so the calendar keeps exactly the time it takes.
Beard trim	15 min	A short service that fits between long ones. The rest you set after each appointment applies after it too.
Kids' haircut	20 min	A separate service with its own duration and price.
Straight-razor shave	30 min	If you warm a towel before the shave, include that time in the service's duration.
Men's hair colour	1 h	A treatment with a wait in the middle: from the Professional plan you set it up as a split service, and the time between the phases opens for another booking.

How Timing Helps Barbershops

24/7 Online Self-Booking

A unique booking link for your barbershop. Clients pick their service, date, and time themselves, any hour of the day, and in a shop with several barbers (from the Professional plan) their barber too.

Automatic WhatsApp Reminders

A WhatsApp message is sent automatically before each appointment, at the time you choose (from the Basic plan). Fewer no-shows, fewer empty slots.

One Team Calendar

From the Professional plan (up to 2 people, the owner included; up to 5 on Premium), the whole team shares one calendar you can filter by barber, and each barber has their own working hours, so several barbers are easy to run in parallel.

Client Visit History

Client profile with visit history, preferences, and notes. Know your customers deeply.

Revenue Reports

Revenue for today, the week, and the month, plus performance by service, and from the Professional plan, revenue per barber. Make data-driven business decisions.

Waiting List

From the Professional plan, with the waiting list switched on, clients join it when nothing is free. A slot that opens goes to the first client on the list whose request fits: they are booked and told on WhatsApp, or the booking waits for your approval.

Practical Tips for Barbershops

Choose when the reminder goes out
From the Basic plan you pick one time for the WhatsApp reminder, from 15 minutes to 72 hours before the appointment. For the cancel button in attendance confirmations (from the Professional plan) to work, pick a time that comes before your cancellation deadline.
Set a cancellation deadline
On every plan, signed-in clients cancel on their own until the cancellation deadline you set (24 hours before the appointment by default), and after it they contact you. A cancellation before the deadline frees the time and sends you a notification.
Fridays fully booked? Use a waiting list
From the Professional plan, with the waiting list switched on, a client who found no free time joins it, and a time that opens goes to the first client on the list whose request fits.
Show your work on your business page
A new client picks a barbershop by the cuts they see. You upload photos of your work to your business page, and new clients see them before they book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do customers need to download an app to book at a barbershop?

Not at all - they book through a link in their regular browser, no download needed. Reminders (from the Basic plan) arrive straight in WhatsApp.

How long does it take to set up Timing for a barbershop?

Creating your business takes about 3 minutes. Adding all services, working hours, and barbers can take longer - then share your booking link immediately.

Can I manage several barbers on one calendar?

Absolutely, from the Professional plan: up to 2 people, the owner included, and up to 5 on Premium (Free and Basic are for one person, the owner). All barbers share one calendar you can filter by barber, each barber has their own working hours, and clients pick a barber from the list on your booking page (from the Professional plan).

Does Timing send WhatsApp reminders?

Yes, from the Basic plan (₪79 a month on the website): an automatic reminder before every appointment, at the time you choose. The Free plan has no WhatsApp or SMS. From the Basic plan you can also send a marketing SMS, for example about a promotion, to clients who agreed to receive such messages, once Timing approves your business to send SMS.

How much does barbershop appointment scheduling cost?

There's a free plan, and paid plans start at ₪79 a month on the website. Your first business also gets a one-time 14-day Premium trial with no credit card, then moves to the Free plan automatically with no charge.

Can a regular client get the same slot every week?

Yes, on every plan: a recurring appointment repeats every day, every week on the days you choose, or every month.

What happens when a client cancels?

A signed-in client cancels on their own from their appointments page, until the cancellation deadline you set (24 hours before the appointment by default), and you get a notification. With the waiting list switched on (from the Professional plan), the time goes to the first client on the list whose request fits.

Can I see how much the shop made this month?

Yes, on every plan: revenue over time against the previous period, each service's share of bookings, new clients and peak hours. From the Professional plan there is also an accountant report as a PDF.
