Barber Booking App in Ghana

Your customers already message you with "Boss, you dey free 4pm?" while you are halfway through a skin fade. AyaBookings turns those chats into confirmed slots. A customer opens your booking link, chooses the cut, chooses the barber, and picks a time that is actually open on that barber's chair. Shops in Osu, Madina, Spintex, Adum in Kumasi and around Legon use the same setup: one page with every barber's hours, the menu of cuts, and the price in cedis. Regulars who don't use data can still book by USSD. You keep running the shop from the AyaBookings for Business app on your Android or iPhone, and your old notebook can retire. Using AyaBookings costs nothing. Cash paid at the chair carries no fee, and a 5% fee applies only when a customer pays online.

Why Ghana businesses choose AyaBookings

  • Each barber gets their own column of hours, so two customers can never be given the same chair at 5pm on a Friday.
  • Customers choose their favourite barber by name, which keeps loyal clients with the barber they trust.
  • Automatic SMS reminders go out before the cut, so fewer chairs sit empty while you wait for someone who forgot.
  • Switch on a Mobile Money deposit for Saturday morning or late-evening slots only, and leave quick weekday trims deposit-free.
  • Customer records show who came in, how often, and which style they asked for last time.

    Add each barber and the days and hours they stand at the chair.

  4. 4

    Post your booking link on your WhatsApp status, Instagram bio and TikTok, and write your USSD code on the mirror.

    Watch bookings land in the app while you cut, and check who is next before the chair is free.

Built for how you work in Ghana

  • Busy shops often lose bookings in WhatsApp threads that nobody scrolls back to. A booking page answers the "who is free?" question without you picking up the phone.
  • Kids' cuts before school reopens and Saturday rushes are predictable peaks; letting clients book ahead spreads the queue across the day.
  • Many regulars still pay cash at the chair, and that stays fee-free, so nobody is pushed into paying online.
  • Shops with three or four barbers need each person's hours kept separate, especially when one barber only works evenings.

Frequently asked questions

Can a customer choose a particular barber?
Yes. When you add your barbers, customers see their names on the booking page and can book with the one they prefer. If they don't mind who cuts, they can take whichever barber has the earliest open time.
What does AyaBookings cost a barbershop?
Nothing to set up or use. If a client pays at the shop in cash, there is no fee. If a client pays online with Mobile Money, 5% of that payment is deducted, and that is the only charge.
My clients mostly message me on WhatsApp. Will that still work?
Yes. Customers can book through WhatsApp, and you can drop your booking link in any chat or on your status. The appointment then shows up in your schedule instead of sitting in a message you have to remember.
Some of my regulars don't use mobile data. How do they book?
They dial your USSD code, *928*88*{your business code}#, from any phone and follow the prompts. Numbered shortcuts like *928*88*{your business code}*{option number}# can also be shared with regulars.
Should I ask for a deposit on haircuts?
That is your call, service by service. Many shops leave quick cuts open and switch on a Mobile Money deposit only for long jobs like dye or for the busiest slots. You turn deposits on or off per service in your settings.
Can I manage the shop from my phone?
Yes. The AyaBookings for Business app runs on Android and iOS. You can see today's bookings, check each barber's schedule and look up a customer between cuts.

Put every chair on one booking page and let clients book their barber without waiting on your reply.
