Simple and seamless scheduling
With five busy barbershops in London and Manchester, Barber Barber began its search for a tool that could scale and give the team time back.
‘It was just from Googling different solutions that we found Square Appointments and haven’t looked back since. … It’s been the perfect all-in-one appointments tool, and the processing rates are fantastic.’
— Johnny Baba, founder and owner of Barber Barber
