Yoink for barbershops
The board, the chair, one link.
Your prices, your hours, your work and a booking that takes the deposit up front, carried by one clean yo.ink link. Send it in the DM, tape it by the mirror, put it on the Google profile. The chair fills while you cut.
Free while we’re early · no card · live between two fades

The situation
They want the chair. Not the admin.
A new client gives your link one tap: prices, hours, and a way to book, or they’re back on the map. A regular shouldn’t have to negotiate a slot by thumb.
The DM booking
Every booking, negotiated by thumb.
Here: the book takes the slot and the deposit while you cut.
The marketplace
Your shop, filed third under two lookalikes.
Here: the link is only you. Clients bookmark the shop, not an app.
The website
A bill, and hours from two Christmases ago.
Here: fill it in like a form. New Saturday hours? One row.
The kit
Everything a client checks, before they sit down.
The prices, the hours, the work, then the way to book: that’s the order people decide in. Six cards made for shops with chairs, filled in by you, dressed by your world. Fade House’s board comes first and it is its own: the rows are the services, each one bookable. The cards after it come off the two shops beside it in our demo set, the café and the dinner house, because one kit runs the whole street: what a menu is to a café, the price list is to you.
The board · Fade House
Prices on the wall. Not in your DMs.
Board rows with the price in the trailing column: what it costs before anyone has to ask. More services are more rows; the beard menu is another card stacked under it, and nobody built a menu feature.
Raised the fade five dollars? Change the row. The link never changes.
Haircut Hot towel finish $40 
Cut and Beard Full service · bring a photo $55 
Kids Cut, under 12 Quick, calm, sticker at the end $25 
Gift Card Any service, any barber · sent same day $50 The work · North Roast
Four frames of the place, swipeable.
This strip belongs to the café two doors down in our demos, and it is the same gallery engine a model uses for her book, wearing a shop instead. A barbershop fills the same four frames with the fades, the line-ups and the room.
New photo from the chair, straight onto the page. The feed convinces, the page books.

Day rows in your own words, and a two-way flip for the day with two answers. This one is the dinner house’s hours, LUNCH and DINNER a tap apart; go on, flip it. Fade House keeps its walk-in rule in a line of its own, right under the first price.
Not every board takes money.
The café’s price list is the other way to draw a board: name, dotted rule, price, and no checkout behind the row. One engine, three vocabularies: a menu there, the price list at your chair. The beard menu stacks under the fades the same way.
This week. Never last month.
One live line at the top of the page and the next thing after it. Here it’s what’s on the café’s bar; on a shop it’s the late chairs on Friday, the walk-in morning, the Monday you’re closed. Edited from the chair, so it never advertises a week that’s gone.
Praise you can point at.
The write-ups, set like an index: quiet, checkable proof, with the best line on top. The dinner house’s reviews sit in this one; yours go in the same rows.
One edit
Change the board once. Everywhere’s current.
The Saturday that just booked out, the new fade price, the guest chair: edit the row once, from the chair or the bus home. The page is current, the QR by the mirror lands on the current page, and so does every bio your link has ever been pasted in. No reprints. No “prices in stories”.

The bio
Give your bio its air back.
The booking rules, the “prices in stories”, the two apps, the no-show policy: all of it moves behind the link, and the bio goes back to one line. The same link works on TikTok, in your Google Business Profile, and printed by the mirror. Go on, tap each link and watch where it lands.

The wardrobe
One shop. Three designs.
Fade House ships three ways in the template gallery: The Board is chalk prices on felt, Lookbook hangs the cut full-bleed in didone black, Ticket prints every service as a numbered kraft stub. Pick a world and the whole page dresses itself; repaint the shop, change the world, and the board never moves.
The templates
Start from a shop like yours.
Fade House ships two designs of the same shop: the board and the lookbook. Beside them, the shops next door: the café and the restaurant, same bones, their own trades. Pick one and swap in your name, your prices and your chairs, or start from an empty room and let a world dress it.
Every card is a live demo page, not a screenshot: open one and scroll it. The shop’s three designs sit in the gallery, with the whole shopfront shelf and every other trade one chip over.
The till
Deposits up front. No-shows, handled.
Every row on that board with a chair behind it is a booking with a card behind it too: haircut, cut and beard, the kids’ Saturday slot. Money before the no-show, gift cards sent the same day, no chasing. Dressed like the board, not a naked checkout link.
And a quiet list for the regulars: cancellations and late chairs, the moment they open, straight to inboxes that belong to you. (The list card is the café’s again, same block, still in its own words.)
Selling costs early users 3% per sale, only on what sells through the page. Cash at the chair, your card machine and tips are never touched. Pro sells at 0%.

“Booking app”, “button list” and “site builder” are the categories, not any one brand; plenty of shops run them well. The difference is whose name the client saves.

Asked at the chair
Quick answers.
What should a barbershop put in its Instagram bio?
One line and a single link. People tap a shop’s bio wanting the prices, the hours and a way to book; a yo.ink link holds all three behind that one line, so the bio stays clean and the link does the talking. The same link works on TikTok and printed by the mirror.
Do I need a website, or is a booking link enough?
If regulars just need a slot, a booking page does it. New clients need more first: where you are, what it costs, what the work looks like, then the book. A Yoink page is both jobs on one link, without the monthly bill or the site you last updated at Christmas.
Can I take deposits so no-shows stop costing me?
Yes. The chair is a bookable slot with payment or a deposit up front: a no-show costs the no-show, not you. Kids’ cuts, beard work and the Saturday rush can each be their own slot and price.
Does it work with my Google Business Profile and the mirror QR?
Anywhere a link goes, this link goes: the website and appointment slots on your Google profile, the QR you print for the mirror, your WhatsApp auto-reply. Edit the page once and every one of those placements lands somewhere current, because they all point at the same address.
Can the price list stop being a photo in my highlights?
That’s the board card: chalk rows with the price in the trailing column, readable on any phone, changed in one edit instead of a re-shot, re-posted story. More services are more rows; the beard menu is a second card.
Is Yoink free for barbershops?
Yes, while we’re early. Early shops get the whole kit (the board, hours, the work, find us, what’s on, people say) free on their own yo.ink link, and keep that deal when prices rise for later signups. Selling through the page costs early users 3% per sale; cash at the chair, tips and your card machine are never touched. Pro ($5/mo early price, locked for life) sells at 0%.
Can I sell gift cards and merch?
Yes. Gift cards send the same day as a code, any service, any barber; pomade, tees and the shop’s own blend sit under the board with payment up front. It all wears your world, so selling never cheapens the page.
I rent a chair. Is this for the shop or for me?
Either, and that’s the point: the link is yours, not the shop’s and not an app’s. Rent a different chair next year and your board, your work and your clients’ bookmark come with you. The shop can run its own page; yours is yours.
