Barber with a client in the chair
Payment Sent
★★★★★

“No-shows dropped to basically zero once I started taking deposits through my link.” — Marcus J., Houston, TX

Barbering runs on a short cycle and a long relationship. A regular client comes back every two to four weeks, which over a year makes each chair worth far more than the price of a single cut suggests, and it means the whole economics of the business turn on retention and on the chair never sitting empty. That is also where the pain is. Barbering is booked at short notice, no-shows are common, and the deposit conversation is awkward in a trade where a lot of business is still cash and walk-ins. Publishing the menu with deposits built in changes it from a personal request into house policy.

How Barbers Price Their Work.

The billing structures this trade actually uses — and what each one means for getting paid. Every one of them can sit on a single rate card.

Per-service menu pricing

The core: cut, skin fade, beard trim, hot towel shave, cut and beard.

A published menu also does your marketing — it is what clients screenshot and share.

Deposit at booking

Any appointment, particularly longer ones and new clients.

Chair time cannot be recovered. A deposit is the only real protection.

Membership, billed monthly

Regulars on a two- or four-week cycle.

Two cuts a month billed automatically. Predictable income and near-total retention.

Premium and add-on services

Designs, colour, beard treatments, kids’ cuts.

Sits on the same menu so clients discover it themselves.

Where Barbers
Lose Money.

The payment problems specific to this trade, and what actually fixes each one.

no-shows and late cancellations

No-shows and late cancellations. An empty chair at four on a Saturday cannot be sold twice.

A deposit at booking makes the slot a commitment rather than an intention.

tips in a cashless world

Tips in a cashless world. Clients who used to tip cash now often do not, because there is no obvious moment to do it.

Built-in tipping at checkout restores the moment without anyone having to raise it.

booking buried in Instagram DMs

Booking happens in Instagram DMs, which means your schedule lives in a chat thread and double-bookings are inevitable.

One booking link in the bio replaces the DM thread and shows real availability.

Common Questions.

RateCards is a booking and payment link for Barbers: list your services and prices on one page, take bookings and deposits, and get paid by card through Stripe — no website, no app, no code. Free to start, and most providers are set up in minutes. See how RateCards works or explore every feature.

QHow Do I Take Deposits Without Putting Clients Off?

Publishing the deposit as part of the menu makes it house policy rather than a personal request, which is a much easier conversation. Clients are used to deposits in barbering and generally accept them when they are stated up front.

QCan I Set Up A Monthly Membership For Regulars?

Yes. A membership covering two cuts a month, billed automatically, gives you predictable income and gives the client a reason not to try the shop down the road.

QHow Do Tips Work If Nobody Carries Cash?

Tipping is built into the checkout, so the client is offered the option at the point of payment. That restores a tipping moment that largely disappeared when cash did.

QCan I Take Bookings Straight From My Instagram Bio?

Yes. A single link in the bio shows your full menu and live availability, which is considerably more reliable than managing bookings through DMs.

QHow Do Barbers Get Paid Faster?

Clients pay through your link — deposit at booking, balance at the chair. Payments process through Stripe and typically arrive fast.1

QWhat Is A Rate Card For Barbers?

Your menu and prices on one page where clients book and pay — like your own mini storefront in your bio.1

QCan I Take Deposits To Stop No-Shows?

Yes. Collect a deposit at booking so empty-chair no-shows stop costing you money.

QCan I Sell Monthly Memberships?

Yes. Set up recurring memberships — like two cuts a month — billed automatically.3

QDo Clients Need An App To Book Me?

No. Your link opens in any browser on any device — no download required.

QCan Clients Tip Me?

Yes. Tipping is built in and optional — one tap at checkout.4

QHow Do I Share My Rate Card?

Drop the link in your Instagram or TikTok bio and print the QR code at your station.

QWhat Does RateCards Cost?

Starter is free for your first 6 months — no credit card required. After that it’s $5/mo billed annually ($60 a year) or $7/mo billed monthly. Solo is $24/mo billed annually ($288 a year) or $29/mo monthly, and Business is $119/mo billed annually ($1,428 a year) or $149/mo monthly. See the full breakdown on the RateCards pricing page.

QWhat Fees Come Out Of What I Earn?

Two, and both are flat percentages of the listed price. A 5.5% service fee is deducted from your payout — that rate is all-inclusive, so Stripe’s processing costs are absorbed within it rather than charged to you separately.7 A 5.5% client booking fee is added to your client’s total at checkout.7 Solo cuts your service fee by 20% and Business by 30%; the client booking fee stays 5.5%. Every rate is listed on the pricing page.

RateCards gives barbers one shareable link where clients see services and prices, book, and pay by card through Stripe.
