Barbershop Manager review
A focused web system for queues, barber operations, commissions, and multi-location oversight.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Barbershop Manager is a cloud-based, browser-accessible system for barbershop owners, managers, and barbers. It brings customer self-service check-in, walk-in queue management, appointment scheduling, barber matching, client histories, barber dashboards, and owner analytics into one web service. Shops can access it on phones, tablets, and desktop computers without downloading an app. Its focus is operational coordination rather than a broad retail or business-management suite.
Pricing is straightforward. The Monthly Plan costs $15 USD per chair per month and includes the customer check-in kiosk, barber management app, owner dashboard and analytics, client database and history, GPS time tracking, and commission and rental automation. The Lifetime Plan costs $300 USD per chair and includes the same listed capabilities. The plans also support payment tracking and reconciliation, revenue and barber performance analytics, W9 collection, and tax-ready reports. For owners comparing recurring and one-time payment structures, the main distinction is billing model rather than a different published feature set.
The strongest fit is a chair-based shop that needs tighter control over walk-ins, appointments, barber time, commissions, rentals, and payments, especially across multiple locations. Multi-location dashboards and tax-oriented reporting extend its usefulness beyond a single shop, while queue and kiosk tools address front-desk flow. The scope is narrower for businesses that need inventory management, third-party integrations, or dedicated mobile applications. Those shops may need another system alongside Barbershop Manager or a broader alternative. For shops centered on barber operations and payroll-related tracking, its web-first structure and focused feature set are the clearest reasons to consider it.
