Blinx gives a barbershop one mobile page where customers can see your prices, check whether you are open now, ask for a chair and get directions, each in one tap. It costs $5 a month or $46.80 a year, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card.
Barbershop customers come in two ways. Walk-ins want to know one thing before they set off: are you open right now, and until when. Regulars want their usual cut at a time that suits them, without ringing during a busy afternoon.
Both look at the prices and at photos of fades, beard trims and styles, and plenty find a new barber through a search, a friend's haircut or the shop's Instagram.
Once they have found you, they want the next step to take seconds: the hours, the price of a skin fade, and a way to ask for Saturday morning.
How a Blinx page helps barbers
Open now, for walk-ins
Your hours show whether the shop is open right now and when it closes, the first thing a walk-in checks.
Ask for a chair
Customers pick a service, a day and a time and send a request; a skin fade and a beard trim can each have their own length, and you confirm requests in your diary on Pro.
Your prices on the page
A haircut, a skin fade, a beard trim and kids' cuts, each with its price, so nobody has to ask at the till.
Photos of your cuts
A swipeable gallery of the styles you do, for the customers who choose a barber by the work.
Your social pages
Link your Instagram or TikTok under Follow us, so customers can see more of your work.
Directions in one tap
The Find us map opens the customer's own maps app, so a new customer walks straight to the door.
Four moments from a working day, each beside the part of the example page it uses.
Is the shop open now?
A walk-in checks your page on the way past and sees at once whether you are open, and when you close or open next. The ones who cannot make it today can ask for a chair tomorrow from the same page.

A skin fade, booked from the page
A regular chooses a skin fade, picks a day and a time and sends the request. It waits in your diary until you confirm it on Pro, and they hear back with the time.

Prices before the chair
Your price list shows a haircut, a skin fade, a beard trim and a kids' cut, each with its price, so the conversation in the chair is about the cut, not the cost.

Styles that sell the chair
A new customer looks at your photos before anything else. A gallery of your fades and trims shows them the barber they are about to book.

Want a page like this one?Pick your Google listing and the page fills itself in. Publish it when you are happy.
Yes. Add services such as a haircut, a skin fade or a beard trim to the booking picker, each with its own length, and customers choose one when they ask for a slot. Requests wait until you confirm them, which is part of Pro.
Can I take walk-ins as well as bookings?
Yes. A booking is a request, not a lock on your day, and the page shows whether you are open right now, so walk-ins can see when to come. If you keep set times for walk-ins, write them in your About text.
Can two customers book the same time with different barbers?
Yes. Set slots to take several bookings at once, so one customer does not use up a time. Requests do not name a barber, so say in your About text how the chairs are shared, or ask in your reply.
Can I link my Instagram and TikTok?
Yes. Paste your profile links under Follow us and Blinx works out the network and your handle. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, X and LinkedIn are recognised.
Can I put the page in the shop window?
Yes. Save your page's QR code as an image and print it for the window, the mirror or the counter. Someone walking past at closing time can scan it and ask for a chair tomorrow, and every scan is counted.
Will my Google reviews show?
Yes, once you connect the shop's Google listing: your star rating and the first three reviews Google shows, in Google's order, with a link to read the rest on Google. Blinx never writes, edits or picks them.
