Barbershop memberships: regulars who pay before they sit down.
Sell monthly haircut plans and prepaid packs with the services they cover. Renewals charge on their own, covered visits price themselves, and you get a paycheck that doesn't care if it rains.
Included in the one $35/mo plan, every barber. See pricing →
One-off cuts pay the bills. Members pay them early.
Most booking apps treat every visit like a first date. You fill the book from scratch every month and hope the slow weeks aren't too slow.
Barbershop membership software turns your regulars into a monthly number. Plans renew on their own, the visits they cover are priced for you, and you can see next month's floor before it shows up.
How barbershop memberships work
A membership is a recurring haircut plan: the client pays a set price every month, or once for a prepaid pack, and the services it covers are already paid when they book. You decide what's covered and how often. There are three ways to set one up, and most shops run more than one.
Unlimited plans
One monthly price, as many covered visits as they want. Great for weekly regulars and the guys who can't go four days without a lineup.
Capped plans
Two cuts a month, a cut plus a beard, whatever you set. Each covered service gets its own limit, so the math always works for you.
Prepaid packs
Sell five visits up front with an optional expiration. Visits count down as they're used. Money now, chair time later.
What to charge for a haircut membership
Price a monthly plan around two to three visits. A weekly regular saves money, you get paid up front, and the slow week in March doesn't touch your rent.
Quick math: a $35 cut, three times a month, is $105. Put him on an $89 unlimited plan and he saves $16, while you get $89 on the 1st, even the month he only shows up twice.

Memberships: Barbercita vs Booksy, SQUIRE and theCut
Everybody says they help you keep regulars. Here's who actually sells a membership, where you set it up, and what a five-barber shop pays for the privilege.
| App | Memberships | Where you sell them | Cost for a 5-barber shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barbercita | Yes: monthly plans + prepaid packs, limits per service | Owner app; clients join in your own app | $35/mo flat |
| Booksy | Yes | Booksy Web (desktop) | $109.99/mo ($29.99 + $20 per extra person) |
| SQUIRE | Not listed on any plan* | — | $50–$250/mo per shop |
| theCut | Not listed | — | $125/mo if every barber goes PRO ($25 each) |
* SQUIRE's pricing page lists a client loyalty program on its Titan plan ($250/mo per shop), not memberships. Card processing fees aren't included anywhere above. Prices change, and each company's own page is the final word.
