The shop behind the software
One AI-powered platform to book, manage clients, take payments, and grow — for barbershops, salons, spas, and every appointment business.
The full toolkit that runs the front desk and the back office — with AI doing the busywork.
Fill the calendar day and night without lifting a finger.
Book, cancel, and reschedule in one message — by chat or phone.
Know every client and keep them coming back.
See what's working and sell more of it.
Some apps still make clients tap through five screens; others charge around $100 a month for an AI that does it for them. WaveBook builds it in — booking by chat and answering the phone, included at no extra cost.
List your shop on the WaveBook marketplace and get found by new clients searching nearby. Unlike Fresha and Booksy, we take zero commission — every client the marketplace sends you is yours to keep, forever.
Full front-desk and back-office in one place, without the add-on fees.
Multi-barber day view, block time, group appointments, recurring visits.
Tap-to-pay, tips, gift cards, cash register — all on Stripe.
Profiles, notes, full history, notification preferences, win-back.
Per-barber pricing, schedules, days off, waiting lists, service menu.
Retail, stock levels, purchase orders, SKUs, gift cards.
Sales by service, barber leaderboards, productivity, deposits.
Same back office. But WaveBook builds the AI in, runs on your own Stripe, and never takes a cut of your clients.

WaveBook answers my phone while I'm in the chair. My no-shows basically vanished and I'm rebooking way more regulars — it runs the front desk so I can just cut.
Switching over took an afternoon. The AI answering the phone alone paid for it.
My clients love just texting to book. No app, no five screens — they message and it's done.
Deposits killed my no-shows and I keep my own Stripe — payouts hit my bank the next day. That was the dealbreaker for me.
