Your barbershop with bookings that confirm themselves
A public portal and a WhatsApp bot so clients book a cut and a shave in seconds. Automatic confirmation, reminders and a full chair without a single phone call.
Free plan forever. No credit card required.
Sound familiar?
If you manage appointments, these problems hit you every single week.
The client asks for a slot and takes three days to confirm
"Let me get back to you" — and disappears. Meanwhile you block the slot. By the time they answer two days later, you have lost the client who wanted that time.
Walk-ins who leave because of the queue
A walk-in comes in, sees three people waiting and walks out. You have no idea whether you have a slot at 8 p.m. or whether the next booked client arrives exactly then.
The same WhatsApp reply 50 times a day
"Got a slot tomorrow?", "what time?", "with who?". You repeat the same lines all day instead of cutting hair.
How Marai solves it
Real features, already shipped. No waitlists, no promises.
24/7 booking portal
Your own booking page with your barbers, services and prices. The client lands from Google or your Instagram, picks a time and books in under 30 seconds.
Instant automatic confirmation
When the booking is made, the client gets the confirmation right away by email and WhatsApp. If they do not confirm within X hours (you decide), Marai releases the slot for someone else.
AI WhatsApp bot
For clients who prefer messaging, the bot replies 24/7. It understands "cut and beard tomorrow afternoon" and books automatically with the available barber.
What is an online booking portal for a barbershop?
An online booking portal for a barbershop is a public branded page where the client picks a barber, a service and a free slot, pays the card deposit if you set that up, and gets instant confirmation by email and WhatsApp — without downloads or sign-up.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work if I am the only barber?
Yes. The Free plan is free forever with one professional and up to 50 appointments a month. It includes the booking portal, the schedule and email notifications. No credit card required.
Can I manage walk-ins alongside booked appointments?
Yes. The schedule shows free slots in real time. When a walk-in comes in, you create a manual appointment in one tap. If the next booked client arrives, the system pings you.
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. The booking portal runs in the browser and the bot replies on the WhatsApp the client already has. Zero downloads, zero forced sign-ups.
Can I charge a deposit to avoid no-shows?
Yes. Switch on upfront charging with Stripe for long services such as colour, peeling or treatments. The client pays the deposit when booking and if they do not show up, the money is already in.
