Every message you miss is a slot someone else fills.
"You got anything today?" came in while you were mid-fade. By the time you answered, they'd booked somewhere else.
Slow replies lose appointments
When you cannot reply right away, interested clients move on and book with someone else.
No-shows and chasing deposits
Without a deposit, a no-show is an hour nobody pays for. With one, you're the one asking for it and checking it came in.
Two schedules, one you
You rent a chair at a shop and take your own clients too. Keeping both schedules by hand ends in double bookings.
How it works for your appointments
Set up your services and hours once. Your assistant handles the booking and you keep working.
- 01
Your client asks for a slot
From your booking page or on WhatsApp, any time of day, typed or by voice message.
- 02
Your assistant books it and asks for the deposit
It offers your open times, books the appointment and asks for the deposit or the full price, depending on the service.
- 03
You confirm and get back to work
Your assistant checks the payment screenshot and you confirm with one tap. Your schedule stays accurate all day.
Everything your schedule needs
Built for barbers, tattoo artists and trainers who lose clients today for not answering in time.
Services with price and length
Each service with its price, how long it takes and the buffer you need between clients.
Deposit or full price up front
Choose per service: no payment, a deposit or the full price, and see the balance due on every appointment.
One schedule for all your gigs
Rent a chair and take private clients? A booking in one blocks that time in the other. Each business only sees "busy".
Teams of up to 20
Each barber, artist or trainer gets their own schedule, under one business account.
Your booking and cancellation policy
Set how far ahead clients can book and how late they can cancel.
Mobile and in-home sessions
Save the client's address and the travel time between appointments.
Walk-ins and days off, by chat
Someone books in person? Message your assistant to add it. Taking Friday off? Tell your assistant and it blocks the day.
Get paid the way you already do
Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, cash or your own payment link. The money goes straight to you.
For solo pros and teams who work by appointment
- Barbershops and independent barbers

- Personal trainers, including mobile and in-home

Questions from barbers, artists and trainers
Do my clients have to download an app to book?
No. They book from your booking page on their phone, or on WhatsApp if they use it. Put the link in your Instagram bio or on your Google profile.
Can I ask for a deposit to hold the appointment?
Yes. For each service, choose no payment, a deposit or the full price. Your assistant asks for it by Zelle, Venmo, Cash App or your own payment link, and you confirm it with one tap.
I rent a chair and also take my own clients. Will my bookings overlap?
No. You have one schedule: a booking at the shop blocks that time on your own Wawnia page, and the other way around. Each business only sees "busy", never the other's clients.
I train clients at their homes. Can it handle travel time?
Yes. Your assistant saves each client's address and leaves travel time between appointments.
Does it work for a team?
Yes, for teams of up to 20. Each pro has their own schedule and the business sees them all.
How much does it cost?
There's a free plan with every feature. Paid plans grow with your users and bookings, not with features.
