Let clients book skin fades, cuts, and beard trims online, free forever for 1-2 barbers. No credit card, no countdown, no watered-down feature set.
Not a generic scheduler — the free plan already knows what a fade, a trim, and a beard line-up need.
Each barber gets their own calendar, hours, and service list — clients pick a specific barber or "any barber" for the next slot.
Automatic reminders plus optional card deposits for higher-value services — free on every plan, not a paid upgrade.
A clean booking link for your Instagram bio, Google Business profile, or WhatsApp — no app download for clients.

10/10 service and cheaper than I was paying before
“I offer music lessons at my home, and finding the right booking system has been a nightmare. I've tried so many and have had to make them try and fit what I need... it's like Slotivo was made for me - but it was actually recommended by my friend who's a masseuse and loves it too. It's really customisable and perfect for most use cases. Would really recommend, I've had a few questions about it too and they've been really responsive and even added features I've asked for - 10/10 service and product.”

Great scheduling tool for home visits.
“I am using Slotivo to manage client bookings for in-home flower rearranging appointments. It is clear and easy for clients to select their time, and it makes planning daily schedule seamless. Takes the headache out of appointment admin. Highly recommended.”

Yes. Slotivo is free forever for barbershops with 1-2 barbers — not a trial. You get online booking, a branded booking link, automatic reminders, and deposit collection at no cost, with no card required to sign up.
Yes. Clients book through a branded web page — no app download needed. You can drop the link straight into your Instagram bio, Google Business profile, or WhatsApp business page.
Yes. Automatic email reminders go out ahead of every booking, and you can require a card deposit on higher-value services like fades and beard trims — both included on the free plan, not paid add-ons.
The free plan covers up to 2 barbers. Beyond that, you move to a flat monthly plan covering unlimited barbers — never a per-chair or per-seat charge. Your bookings and client history carry over automatically.
General-purpose scheduling apps aren't built for chair-based businesses — no per-barber calendars, no service-specific durations for a fade vs a beard trim, and no deposit tooling. Slotivo is purpose-built for barbershops from the ground up.
Sign up in under 60 seconds. When you outgrow 2 barbers, it's a flat £10/mo for the whole shop — never per chair.
Free forever for 1-2 barbers. No credit card required.
