300 + Barbers & Stylists sign ups and growing rapidly! Klipped App
Barbers and stylists sign ups have gone up exponentially!
With our online booking app, barbers & stylists will reduce time at the check out counter and ensure money is not changing hands. At Klipped, all appointments booked through the app are prepaid and clients can even tip through the app after the appointment. This helps to reduce the risk of no-shows and charges them cancellations fees if they miss an appointment. Letting clients see the stylist's schedule, book and pay reduces the time stylists & stylists are on the phone or communicating with them about appointment options and ensures barbers & stylists get paid quickly and accurately. Clients also prefer this method a lot of times!
Check out our app and let us know your thoughts!

Wow fascinating industry to get into. How did you decide to create this product for barbers, as an indie hacker?
Thanks @jasonleow ! My partner and I shared the same experiences as clients at the barbershop and we thought we could better the experience when booking an appointment and paying for your haircut.
Oh wow that's awesome. Creating the thing that you want to use yourself
Love it! Wishing you continued success.
Hey Juan -
Nice job on the app/business and continued success with growth.
Curious how you are handling payouts? Are you using a platform like Stripe? How often are payouts done? Do Stylists enter their bank info and have automatic payments sent?
I've always been curious about the best way to handle payments for marketplaces like this, especially with respect to any tax implications or reporting requirements.
@johnny_am Thanks! Yes, we use Stripe for payouts. It works really great. Payouts are done every 3 days. Stripe also has the option for instant payouts, so barbers and stylists can choose it if they want to.
Nice Juan! How did you manage to get your first sign ups?
Thanks! @boina92 We literally went to every barbershop in town to pitch our solution to barbers and stylists. WOM has been huge for us. Once they start using our app they love it and recommend it to their peers.
Congratulations. I would love to use something like this to book a hair appointment. I hope you get even more signups soon!
Thank you! @thebarbican The client experience on Klipped is great! The easiest way to book a haircut hands down!
This is awesome! Sounds like you found a niche and are executing. Good luck!
Hey Juan this is pretty cool! I have a newsletter I'm putting together called Growwwth Guides. Each newsletter has bite-sized stories on how people are growing their businesses. Id love to add you to the next Growwwth Guide. Let me know what you think and I'll reach out with the details.
Hey @Romegaston ! That sounds awesome. Please send me the details so I can check it out.
It sounds like a good idea to modernize the industry. Check out https://www.booker.com/ if you haven't already. That's what my salon uses for appointments but the payments part would be a cool addition.
I am very familiar with Booker! Where is your salon at? I'd love to get your thoughts on our app.
