2.0.0

May 6, 2026

A fresh foundation

A major rebuild bringing multi-location support, a revamped booking widget, better emails, and a faster, more reliable app.

Appointments

  • The calendar now shows day-off banners per barber so you can see at a glance who is unavailable.
  • You can see a barber’s current status and their next booking directly on the team overview.
  • Appointment creation is more reliable: errors are now shown as clear messages instead of silent failures.
  • The time column stays visible when you scroll sideways in day view, so you never lose track of the hour.

Online booking

  • The booking widget now hides locations that are not accepting bookings, so customers only see where they can actually book.
  • Customers can reschedule or cancel an appointment from their booking confirmation link.
  • The widget header lets customers switch between light and dark mode.
  • Locations that don’t accept bookings are no longer shown to customers.

Services

  • Services now have a color, making it easier to tell them apart in the calendar.
  • Duplicate service names are rejected, so your service list stays clean.

Customer emails

  • Recurring appointment reminder emails now show the full address and the correct service name.
  • All emails now use proper email threading so replies and follow-ups land in the right conversation.
  • Dutch translations added for invite, password reset, verification, and recurring-series emails.
  • The team invite email no longer includes unnecessary platform description text.

Calendar

  • The calendar shows booking indicator dots on day strips, so you can see busy days at a glance.
  • A side-by-side view for all barbers in day view makes it easy to compare availability.

Statistics & customers

  • Statistics calculations now happen on the server, making the numbers more accurate and the page faster.
  • The statistics page is now fully translated — no more English labels mixed in.

1.2.0

March 17, 2026

More flexible scheduling

Block off time, control back-to-back bookings, and give customers the choice of any available barber.

Appointments

  • Block off time in the calendar whenever you need it — for a break, a delivery, or anything else.
  • You decide whether customers can book slots right next to an existing appointment or not.

Online booking

  • Customers can now choose “any available barber” if they don’t have a preference — they get whoever is free.
  • Booking times always show in the correct timezone for your location, wherever your customer is booking from.

Calendar

  • Appointments in the day view are now sized to match their actual duration, so the calendar is easier to read at a glance.
1.1.0

January 26, 2026

Multiple locations, calendar sync, and service variants

Run more than one location, sync with your external calendar, and offer service variants with different prices or durations.

Multiple locations

  • You can now manage multiple locations from one account — each with its own team, services, and settings.
  • Subscription plans now show clear limits so you always know what’s included.

Appointments

  • Customers can book several services in one go — handy for a cut and a beard trim in a single visit.
  • Service variants let you offer the same service at different durations or prices (for example, a short cut versus a full styling).

Calendar

  • Connect your external calendar (Google Calendar or similar) so your Barberwise appointments appear there automatically.
