Key facts
CRM for barbershops at Workspace369 covers 9 areas, including client records, proposals, projects and tasks.
The workflow runs in 5 steps, from "capture client records and inquiries" to "execute milestone invoices and portal access".
Workspace369 starts at $29/mo for 1 seat, and the Commander plan includes 20 seats and 12× Cadet usage at $299/mo.
Additional seats cost $10 each; full pricing is public on the Workspace369 pricing page.
For chair booking, booth rent and commissions, start with a barbershop booking tool: Squire lists commission and rent collection on Executive, and theCut lists booth rent tracking on its $0 Shop plan. Booksy, Square Appointments and Fresha are general booking options. Workspace369 is not a chair-booking tool (booking starts on Specialist at $149 a month); it fits corporate and wedding grooming sold by proposal and invoice.

When a barbershop coordinates an off-site corporate grooming day, sending terms via basic email leads to lost details. Without structured Proposals, tracking agreed rates and stylist counts creates friction. Staff must manually verify which version the corporate client accepted. This chaos delays confirmations and impacts scheduling, as team members lack a clear record in the brief regarding required mobile chairs and equipment.
Negotiating group bookings involves multiple text threads and phone calls with event organizers. When these conversations live on individual barbers' personal phones, the shop owner cannot verify setup times or special requests. Miscommunications occur regarding travel fees and arrival windows. When every conversation sits on the client record, the shop owner can review past agreements before the event date.
Preparing for an off-site pop-up shop requires packing specific clippers, sanitizers, and portable lighting. Standard walk-in software lacks task management for logistical prep. When administrative tasks are unassigned, critical equipment is forgotten. Team members arrive at the venue missing essential tools, halting operations. Tracking prep work through dedicated tasks ensures a coordinator checks off inventory before any vehicle leaves the shop.
Standard point-of-sale systems handle immediate chair transactions but fail at complex milestone invoicing for large events. Barbershops often miss deposit deadlines for off-site jobs because they lack structured invoices linked to the contract. Manually tracking partial payments in spreadsheets creates accounting errors. Administrative staff need a direct way to issue deposit invoices and final balances tied to the event project record.
Clients watch progress, files, and invoices in a branded portal instead of asking your team for updates.
Email lands beside the client record on every plan; texts, calls and voicemail join it from Voyager, with AI call summaries from Specialist.
Tasks, files, and status for every engagement — visible to the team and, through the client portal, to the client.
Send quotes, bill milestones or retainers, and let automated reminders chase anything outstanding.
Enter the corporate organizer's details into the client records. Record in the brief the specific date, estimated guest count, and required grooming services. This forms the foundation for the off-site project, separating the special booking from everyday walk-in chair appointments that populate your primary point-of-sale system.
Generate formal Proposals detailing mobile grooming rates, travel fees, and stylist requirements. Send the document to the client to review, approve and e-sign. Confirm the signed proposal in the platform before assigning staff, ensuring no shop resources are held for unconfirmed corporate bookings. This step establishes clear commercial boundaries before any off-site logistics begin.
Build a project for the off-site event. Create explicit tasks for packing mobile kits, checking clipper blades, and loading portable chairs. Upload venue floor plans and parking permits directly into the shared files section. A manager must check the task list forty-eight hours before departure to confirm all logistical preparation is complete.
Use the internal scheduling module to map out the off-site hours for participating barbers, keeping this event timeline separate from standard chair appointments. Conduct all logistical conversations with the venue organizer inside the platform. A coordinator must check these conversations weekly to monitor changes in event timing, updating the internal project records immediately to prevent scheduling conflicts at the main shop.
Issue a deposit invoice to secure the date, followed by a final balance invoice after event completion. Provide the corporate client access to the client portal so they can view files, outstanding balances, and scheduling details. The client can pay each invoice online by card, and the bookkeeper sees which milestone payments are complete.
