The Challenge: Too Many Calls, Too Little Clarity
The phone rang constantly — reschedules, new appointments, cancellations.
Team coordination happened through WhatsApp messages or sticky notes, and open slots were often double-booked.
“I spent more time managing appointments than cutting hair,” recalls Bahtiyar.
The results were predictable:
- No central overview of available slots
- Frequent double-bookings and miscommunication
- High administrative workload
- A lack of professional online presence
While there were already online booking tools for salons, most felt outdated, clunky, or overly complicated — difficult to use, expensive to set up, and visually uninspiring. For a modern, service-oriented barbershop like Bahtis, that wasn’t an option.
The Solution: Bookingbird
In September 2024, Bahtiyar chose Bookingbird — the digital booking system that perfectly combines functionality, design, and simplicity.
“I wanted a system that looks as modern as my shop — not software that feels like it’s from 2005,” he says.
With Bookingbird, Bahtiyar was able to:
- Make all services and staff bookable online
- Create a custom-branded, mobile-optimized booking page
- Use the built-in website builder to showcase his salon professionally online
- Automate appointment confirmations and reminders to eliminate no-shows
- Manage team schedules and availability for both locations from a single dashboard
Bookingbird handled the full setup and design customization, ensuring that the platform matched the Bahtis Barbershop brand seamlessly.
More Than Bookings — The First Impression Counts
Bookingbird is more than appointment software — it’s the digital storefront of the salon.
Clients book directly on a stylish, brand-consistent page that reflects the look and quality of Bahtis Barbershop — mobile-friendly, intuitive, and lightning fast.
As the Bookingbird team puts it:
“Every booking is a first impression — and it should feel as professional as the service itself.”
Bahtiyar was able to completely modernize his online presence without having to build a separate website:
Bookingbird became both the booking platform and the digital business card for his brand.
Results: Time Saved, Growth Unlocked, Professional Image
Since implementing Bookingbird, the daily operations across both barbershops have transformed:
- 90% fewer phone calls per day
- Zero no-shows thanks to automated reminders
- Centralized scheduling for two locations
- Consistent branding and professional online appearance
- Reduced idle time — and higher revenue potential
- More time for clients — and for growth
“The system just works. I can see in real time who’s booked and when — whether I’m in the shop or on the go.
Clients love how simple it is to book.”
— Bahtiyar Altuntaş
