Avana is barbershop booking software for barbers in the US who work alone. Clients book fades and beard trims online, walk-ins scan a QR code to take the next open slot, and Avana takes no commission on any cut.
While you line someone up, the next client books on their own. Anyone wondering whether Saturday still has room finds the answer on your page instead of in your DMs.
Someone walks in, scans the QR code on your counter and sees the next free slot. Your booked clients keep their times, and you never have to stop mid-cut to sort it out.
A flat fee each month and no percentage taken from your work. Ten cuts on a Tuesday or forty on a Saturday, the full price of every cut goes to you.
Your booking page lists your cuts, your prices and the slots you have open. Drop the link in your Instagram bio under your fade clips and clients grab a time themselves, even at midnight.
Put a QR code by the mirror or on the counter. A walk-in scans it, sees the first open time in your chair and books it while you carry on cutting.
After the cut, the client pays at your counter as they always have. For a long fade, beard and hot towel shave on a Saturday you can ask for a deposit when they book. A quick line-up books without one.
Give each service its own length and price in your services: a clipper cut, a skin fade, a beard trim, a hot towel shave. The calendar fits them back to back, so a quick tidy-up never lands on top of a full fade.
A sharp skin fade has grown out after two or three weeks. Before leaving, the client books the next cut with one tap, and your client records show which guard you used last time and how they like the line.
The day before, the client gets a reminder with the time and the address of your shop. Add your own line to that email, such as a note about parking, so the chair stays filled on your busiest day.
Avana combines online booking, deposits, reminders and Instagram replies for barbershops. Switch on two of them together and you fill the gaps a barbershop knows best: the DM that arrives after closing and the empty chair on a Saturday.
Avana Connect and deposits
Long after you have swept up, someone messages: any room on Saturday? The AI replies with your price and open times, the client takes eleven o'clock and pays the deposit. By the time you open up, the fade is already booked.
Avana ConnectYour booking page and reminders
The client picks a slot and gets a confirmation at once. The reminder lands the day before, and if something comes up, they move the booking themselves so another client can take that time.

Young barbers already ask how you get the blend so clean. Film the explanation, sell it as a course, and run the practical day at the chair on your quiet Monday.

Yes, Avana is barbershop booking software with no commission on any cut, built for barbers who work alone and want bookings and walk-ins in one calendar. Clients book a fade, a beard trim or both on your own booking page, and a walk-in scans the QR code on your counter to take the next open slot. Every service has its own length and price, confirmations and reminders go out by themselves, and the calendar lives on your phone. There is no commission on your cuts, and it costs $20.99 a month, tax included.
Avana costs $20.99 a month, tax included, no matter how many cuts you do. That includes your booking page, calendar, client records, the QR code for walk-ins, online payments and email reminders. Nothing is taken from your cuts as commission, and you can cancel any month.
Yes, Avana lets a barbershop decide per service whether a deposit is needed, so you might ask for one on a long Saturday combo with a hot towel shave and leave it off a quick line-up. The client pays the deposit while booking and the rest at your counter afterwards. If they cancel too late or do not turn up, the deposit stays with you under your own cancellation policy.
In Avana, walk-ins and booked clients of a barbershop sit in the same calendar. Someone who walks in scans the QR code on your counter, sees the next free time in your chair and books it, while your appointments stay where they are. If the day is full, clients can join a waitlist from Business Plus, and the first person waiting hears straight away when someone cancels.
With Avana, barbershop clients pay at your counter after the cut, by card or cash, the way they do now. Paying online only comes in if you switch it on, for example for deposits, and then they use a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Any service fee for paying online is shown in the price from the start, and your own prices stay exactly as you set them.
Yes, Avana emails a confirmation as soon as someone books a cut and a reminder the day before, with the time and your shop's address. You can add your own line, such as asking them to come with washed hair or to let you know at the counter when they arrive. If the time no longer suits them, they can move the cut themselves from that email.
Yes, Avana is made for one barber, one chair and one calendar, with nobody needed on the phone. Working alone, Business at $20.99 a month covers everything. If another barber starts working with you, add them for $7.99 a month with their own hours and services, and clients choose who they want when they book. Business Plus, at $35.99 a month, already includes one extra team member.
Yes, Avana gives barbers 7 days free with no card details asked for, and after that you pay month to month with no notice period. Use the week to set up your cuts and prices and stick the QR code on the counter, so you can see it working first. Your client list belongs to you: if you stop, you take it with you, and Avana never sells your clients to anyone.

Avana is barbershop booking software that puts booked clients and walk-ins in one calendar. It is built for the barber who works alone: clients book a fade, a beard trim or the combo on your own page, and anyone who walks in scans the QR code on the counter and takes the next open time. Each service has its own length and price, each client's last cut is on their record, and reminders go out by themselves. It costs $20.99 a month, tax included, with no commission on your cuts, and the first 7 days are free.
If you are searching for barbershop booking software, you probably run the chair yourself: one seat, clippers in your hand and a Saturday that pays for the week. On that day you want to be cutting, and picking up the phone or scrolling back through messages to see who said half past two does not fit in. With Avana your fades, beard trims and prices sit on your own booking page, and clients choose an open time themselves.
Each service gets its own length and price, from a clipper cut to a fade with a hot towel shave. Your chair is never double-booked, and the calendar shows exactly when the next client is due. Anyone who walks in without a booking scans the QR code on the counter and books the first free slot, while you keep working.
A no-show on a Saturday is money you never see again. You can ask for a deposit on longer services when people book, and leave the quick cuts free. Email reminders go out by themselves, and with Avana Connect AI answers your Instagram DMs with your own prices and times while your hands are busy.
Most fade clients are back within two or three weeks. They can book the next cut from the chair, and your client records keep the guard numbers and notes, so the cut comes out the same every time. When the day is full, a waitlist catches the clients you would otherwise lose, from Business Plus.
If newer barbers keep asking how you blend, you can sell that know-how as a course through the Avana Academy, with the practical day sitting in your normal calendar. Avana costs $20.99 a month, tax included, and no commission comes off your cuts. Check the full pricing or print your QR code today.
Set up your fade, beard trim and combo with their own times, print the QR code and share your link. The first week costs nothing.
