In the beauty and wellness industry, barbering stands out for its constant evolution, blending tradition with modernity. At Booksy, we share this passion with barbers who dedicate their lives to perfecting every cut and every style they create. Being a barber is not just about handling scissors—it’s about transforming a salon into a welcoming space of trust and connection, where every client enjoys a unique experience.
That’s why Booksy is committed to being the best partner for barbers. We are here to help them grow their business and turn their dreams into reality. Barbering isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling, and we are here to support those who reinvent this art every day.
At Booksy, the success of barbers is at the heart of our mission. Behind every salon lies a story of perseverance, of men and women who dared to embark on their entrepreneurial journey. “Every success, every salon that has grown with the help of Booksy, every connection made is what drives us to keep innovating to support these incredible professionals,” says Águeda de Burgos, Marketing and Community Director.
Since its creation in 2014 in Poland by Stefan Batory and Konrad Howard, Booksy has aimed to enable beauty professionals to focus on their craft while simplifying the day-to-day running of their business. We don’t just provide tools; we offer personalised support. As Edward Yánez, Social Media Manager, aptly quotes Maya Angelou: "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." At Booksy, we apply this philosophy to every interaction with our professionals, ensuring they always feel valued and supported. We are much more than just a platform; we are a true strategic partner.
Since our beginnings, we’ve seen a true revolution in barbering. What was once a traditional craft has become a space of creative expression where innovation is ever-present. We remain committed to the roots of this art while supporting barbers who are reinventing it.
Ewa Łabanowska-Mech, Senior Project Manager at Booksy, recalls that in 2015, the sector in Poland was just beginning. “Thanks to Booksy, many salons have been able to grow and manage their business more efficiently. The world of barbers and hairdressing in Poland has undergone a true transformation since 2014. Back then, there were just a few salons across the country.” Our impact is unmistakable: by supporting barbers, we help them enhance their time management, retain their clients, and perfect their craft. Booksy has contributed to the growth of various businesses, from large academies to small family-run shops. Central to this growth is innovation, which plays a pivotal role in setting barbers apart and improving their operations. Key areas include automated bookings, marketing and client retention, data analysis, and continual advancement in services and products.
With our tools, we’ve supported barbers across the globe—from Poland and Spain to France, the UK, and the US. By optimising appointment management and boosting client loyalty, Booksy has become an essential partner, propelling their businesses into a successful future. “It’s inspiring to see barbers around the world trust Booksy to manage their salons and build strong relationships with their clients. This shared passion has created a global community united by a love of the craft,” says Águeda de Burgos.“ This community thrives thanks to the generosity and passion of our barbers,” she adds.
The future of barbering is full of new opportunities, and at Booksy, we are committed to keep innovating to meet the needs of professionals. With a promising digital future, Booksy will keep investing in its technology to offer ever more efficient solutions, while providing ongoing training through webinars, workshops, and other educational resources to keep barbers at the forefront of their craft.
“It’s a privilege to learn from such a creative and passionate community, and to relay Booksy’s values through social media for such a dynamic sector” says Edward Yánez. At Booksy, we are driven by the passion of seeing professionals turn their talent into thriving businesses. Every day, we learn from them as much as we support them. As Edward points out, “Watching Booksy, our clients, and ourselves grow together is the greatest source of inspiration.”
We are proud of every professional who is part of this community and who shares their talent and passion. If you’re not familiar with Booksy yet, we’re ready to accompany you in your journey to success.
