CutQueue review
A practical choice for small UK shops that need booking, payments and daily operations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CutQueue is barbershop booking and management software for solo barbers and multi-chair shops, with a focus on UK businesses. It brings together online booking pages and widgets, staff rotas, availability, time-off management, walk-in handling, tablet kiosk check-in, client accounts, deposits, cash and card payment logging, VAT reporting, payroll tracking, stock management, reporting, reminders and branded booking websites. It runs as a progressive web app through a browser or on supported devices, with web, iOS and Android access.
Pricing is structured around four monthly plans. Booking only costs £10 per month and includes a booking page, shop calendar, deposits and VAT reporting, a booking button and email reminders. Solo barber costs £19 per month and adds one-barber support, a website, client recall, a review booster and VAT and booking tools. Shop up to 4 costs £30 per month for up to four barbers, staff permissions and team controls. Shop unlimited costs £49 per month and includes unlimited barbers, full shop operations, website access, recall, review booster and growth tools. A 7-day free trial is available, and there is no free plan.
The product’s breadth makes it suitable for shops that want more than appointment scheduling: inventory, retail sales, reorders, payroll tracking, VAT exports, deposits and payment records extend into everyday administration. Stripe is the listed integration, so businesses with a broader software ecosystem should assess how that fits their workflow. CutQueue is a sensible pick for small UK barbershops seeking affordable booking and operational tools, while businesses prioritising memberships, commission tracking or wider integration coverage should compare alternatives.
