Cutcost

Private CRM & booking for salons

Run your shop. Fill your chair.

Manage clients, staff, services and appointments in one place — with a private booking link that belongs to your business.

From £10/month · No marketplace fees · Cancel anytime.

Clients

Profiles, notes, visit history.

Bookings

Every chair’s diary, one book.

Team

Who’s on the floor today.

Private booking link

Clients book you — only you.

01Chaos → organisation

Your salon shouldn’t feel this chaotic

WhatsApp threads, Instagram DMs, missed calls, a notebook by the till and a rota nobody can find. Cutcost pulls it into one book the whole team works from.

02The product

Everything your shop needs in one place

Bookings, clients, team, services and the day’s schedule are one system — so nothing lives in a separate app, a separate chat or a separate notebook.

Bookings

Every chair’s day, side by side.

Each stylist gets a column. Book in by hand or let clients self-book — it lands in the same diary, with a status you can act on.

Client CRM

Know who’s in the chair before they sit down.

Names, numbers, notes, visit history and who they usually sit with. The record lives in your shop — not inside someone else’s app.

05Setup

Running your shop shouldn’t need a manual

Five steps from sign-up to a full day. Most of it is typing in what you already know about your shop.

  1. 01

    Create your shop

    Name, city, opening hours.

  2. 02

    Add services & staff

    What you offer, who takes it.

  3. 03

    Share your link

    Bio, WhatsApp, a QR by the till.

  4. 04

    Clients book

    Straight into the right diary.

  5. 05

    Run your day

    The book, the notes, the chairs.

06The workday

From first booking to last chair.

Cutcost sits in the middle of the day. Every booking, arrival and change goes through one place, so nobody works from an old version of the diary.

  1. 08:45Open

    Hours, chairs and today’s book are already set.

  2. 09:10Bookings in

    Your link fills gaps while you’re cutting.

  3. 10:00Clients arrive

    The book matches who walks in.

  1. 12:30Regulars recognised

    Notes and last visit, before they sit.

  2. 15:00Staff update

    Priya’s 16:00 moves to Omar in two taps.

  3. 18:45Close

    Tomorrow’s first chair is already named.

07The dashboard

Everything happening today. One screen.

The screen you open each morning — today’s appointments, clients, stylists, services and your booking link, laid out exactly as the product is.

08Who it’s for

Built for the people behind the chair.

One chair

Solo stylists

Your chair, your regulars, your link. Keep every client’s notes with you and let them rebook from the link in your bio.

Starter plan

A floor of chairs

Barbershops

Walk-ins and online bookings in the same diary, each barber on their own column, no public directory.

Shop plan

Treatments & beauty

Beauty studios

Longer services and client notes that make 90-minute treatments easy to schedule and easy to prepare for.

Shop plan

Growing team

Growing salons

More chairs, same system. Add stylists and assign chairs while every client relationship stays with the business.

Studio plan

10What you keep

The relationship stays in your shop.

Cutcost is the software you run your business on — not a platform your clients belong to.

  • Private booking links

    Clients land on your page, with your services and your stylists. There’s no directory of nearby shops to browse away to.

  • Client CRM

    Contact details, notes and visit history sit in your account, so the next visit starts where the last one ended.

  • Staff scheduling

    Each stylist has their own column and their own login. Owners see the whole floor.

  • Workday visibility

    Today’s book on one screen — who’s in, who’s next, who’s free — instead of rebuilt from messages.

  • Direct customer relationships

    You send the link and you keep the client. Cutcost doesn’t advertise other shops to them.

Spend less time managing. Spend more time behind the chair.

Cutcost handles the admin so salon and beauty professionals can focus on the people in their chair.
