The booking app for barbers and hair salons
No commission. One price per shop.
Online booking, text reminders, a walk-in queue that knows when a chair is free, and every client's history. Keep your own card machine. Roots never takes a cut of your takings.
On the shop floor, on the sofa, on the front desk
Roots runs on any phone, tablet or computer. Nothing for your clients to install.
A booking page clients actually finish
No app to download and no account to make. Clients pick a service, a barber or anyone free, and a real time from your diary.
Put the link in your Instagram bio and on Google Maps.
Fewer gaps, fewer no-shows, less admin
Built for how barbers and stylists really work
Walk-ins without the guesswork
Add a walk-in in two taps. Roots checks every barber's diary and tells the client honestly how long they'll wait.
Commission on new clients. Ever.
Colour clients, sorted
Formulas and photos on every visit, patch test dates, and a warning before you book colour on a lapsed test.
Keep your card machine
Take payment however you do now and record it in Roots. Takings and balances stay right.
Your data, any time
Download every client and booking as a spreadsheet whenever you like. No lock-in.
