Booking back and forth in DMs Clients pick an open time themselves, day or night
No-shows you find out about when the chair’s empty Reminders, confirm links and deposits on the services you pick
dibbo won’t send you new clients. Your chair and your Instagram do that. dibbo makes sure they can book, and that they stay yours.
How deposits stop no-showsOwners and renters
Renters keep their book. You keep yours.
Every barber in your shop works one of two ways. You and each barber pick what fits.
On the shop’s book
The barber joins your shop in dibbo and sees only their own clients and their own day. You see every client in the shop. If they leave, their login ends that day, and clients booked through the shop stay on the shop’s book.
Best for employees and commission barbers.
Their own book
The renter signs up as their own business, with their own link, services, prices and deposits. Their clients are theirs. You can’t see them, and they can’t see yours.
Best for renters who bring their own following.
Different barbers on different apps? Each one can switch when they’re ready. At launch, a renter’s own link isn’t listed on your shop’s booking page.
More for chair rentersSwitching over
Keep your old app while clients switch
You don’t have to move everyone in one day. Run dibbo next to what you use now, and let your regulars come over as they rebook.

Booking
Booked while you’re mid-fade
Clients pick a cut, a barber or whoever’s free, and a real open time. They book at 11pm, and it’s in your book when you wake up. No DMs.
- Only open times show, so nobody books on top of anyone
- Add-ons like a beard trim or hot towel add their own time and price
- Time to sweep and sanitize between clients, built in
- Put the link in your IG bio. Got a website? It drops right in

Reminders and no-shows
Reminders go out. You keep cutting.
Every reminder has a link to confirm or reschedule, so you never send one by hand. Texts start with “dibbo:” and name your shop.
- A confirmation when they book and a reminder the day before, by text and email
- Take a deposit. Cancel before your refund window, like 24 hours, and they get it back. Cancel inside it or don’t show, and you keep it
- Set a cutoff and the link won’t let them cancel or change online after it
- No-shows stay marked on the client’s page

Questions barbers ask
Something else? Email hello@dibbo.io, or try the demo shop first.
What does it cost?
There’s no price yet. We set it before we open to everyone. It’ll be one monthly price on this page, with no commission and no fee for any client, new or regular. Optional add-ons: texting from your own number and your own web address.
What happens when I sign up for early access?
You tell us your shop’s name, how many chairs you have and what you use now. No card. We email you back to help set up your services, barbers and hours.
Will dibbo bring me new clients?
No, and that’s on purpose. There’s no directory, so we never send your clients to another shop either. New heads come from your chair, your Instagram and word of mouth. dibbo makes it easy for them to book.
Can I keep my current app while I try it?
Yes. Run both, and block off time in dibbo for bookings still on the old app. See “Switching over” above.
Can I bring my clients over?
Not on day one. Importing from a spreadsheet comes after launch. Until then, every booking and walk-in builds your list.
I rent chairs out. Can I see my renters’ clients?
Only if they join your shop’s book. If a renter signs up as their own business, their clients are private to them.
Do I need Stripe? Does dibbo take a cut of deposits?
Only if you want deposits or online payment. You connect Stripe during setup, and Stripe pays out to your bank. dibbo takes no cut; Stripe charges its normal card fee. Everything else you take in the shop, however you take it now.
Can clients cancel last minute?
Not online after your cutoff, like 24 hours. If the service takes a deposit, they get it back only if they cancel before your refund window. Charging a saved card after a no-show is planned, with no date.
Why do the texts say “dibbo”?
Texts go out from dibbo’s number, so the rules say they start with “dibbo:”. Every text names your shop. Emails come in your shop’s name. Texting from your own number is an add-on coming after launch.
Your client list is locked to your shop. Other shops can’t see it, and our team can’t open it without your OK. How we protect your clients
