Your customers are starting to ask AI assistants to book appointments.
More and more, people don't search and tap. They ask an assistant: “book me a haircut Thursday afternoon.” Bookbaar is built so that when that happens, your salon is one the assistant can actually find and book — in real time, with your real availability.
Most booking software wasn't built for this. We were. And every booking still goes through you, on your terms.
The way people book is changing. You'll already be there.
How it works
The assistant asks Bookbaar for your open times: by service, by day, and, if the customer named someone, by team member.
It gets back what your booking page already shows: real free times, the service with its price and duration, and the team member's name. Nothing about your customers, ever.
It hands the customer a link that opens your own booking page with that slot filled in. They confirm there, under your rules: your approval setting, your cancellation policy, your payment choices.
You see a normal booking. Same calendar, same confirmation, same everything.
It's on for every salon with an active plan and a published booking page. Nothing to switch on, nothing extra to pay. Any assistant that supports the open Model Context Protocol can connect to Bookbaar, and we publish a plain API too. How it works, step by step
Different goals, different math.
We make money one way: a flat monthly subscription. No commission on your bookings. No commission on your products. No add-ons for features that should be standard. No fees to export your data.
When your salon grows, your fee stays the same.
Your growth is yours.
Built in Haarlem. Run in Europe. Owned in Europe.
We didn't take the easy path. GDPR-compliant and sovereign aren't the same thing.
Your salon's data is governed by European law and handled by European companies, end to end. Not an American platform with a server in Frankfurt. European hosting, European payments, European everything.
Everything your salon needs, in one plan.
No upgrade tiers. No add-ons. No things-you-thought-were-standard hiding behind a paywall.

Why we built this
I'm Andrea. I'm not from this industry. I'm a developer who moved to the Netherlands a few years ago. The idea for Bookbaar started when my partner took a beauty course here. She didn't end up pursuing it as a career, but the window into that world stayed with me. Years later, here it is.
Bookbaar is a small operation on purpose. We're people, not a corporate. You talk with us directly, we listen when you need something, and we assist with migration when you switch. Even in person, if you're not too far away and you can guarantee us a coffee.
Andrea, Bookbaar. Haarlem.
What working with us looks like.
Need something? Just ask.
Need a feature that isn't there yet? Tell us. If it fits and would help others, we build it. At the same price, for everyone. No premium tier, no upsell. Your request goes straight to the person who'll write the code.
Switching is hard. We help.
Migrating to new software is the worst part of changing anything. Customer data, services, gift card balances, bookings, all of it has to come across without breaking. We assist with the migration on our end, and if you're nearby we can come sit with you for an afternoon to make sure things are set up the way you actually work.
Your data is yours. Always.
Your customer list, your bookings, your invoices. They're yours. Export everything, in standard formats, free, at any time. If one day Bookbaar isn't the right fit, we'll help you migrate to whatever is.
Questions salons ask us.
What does Bookbaar cost?
€9 per month excl. VAT, including your first bookable team member, plus €3 for each additional one, with everything included. Nothing is charged during the 30-day free trial, and you can cancel any time.
Do you take commission on bookings?
No. Not on bookings, not on products, not on gift cards. We make money one way: the flat monthly subscription. When your salon grows, your fee stays the same.
Can my customers book through an AI assistant?
Yes. When someone asks an assistant for “a haircut on Thursday”, it can read your real open times from Bookbaar and send them to your booking page with that slot filled in. The customer confirms on your page; the assistant never sees customer data. It works with any assistant that supports the open Model Context Protocol, including Claude and ChatGPT, and needs no setup on your side.
Where is my salon's data stored?
In the European Union, under European law, handled by European companies end to end: European hosting, European payments, European everything.
Can I take my data with me?
Always. Your customer list, bookings and invoices are yours: export them in standard formats, free, at any time. If Bookbaar ever stops being the right fit, we help you move.
I'm switching from another system. Who does the migration?
We do, with you. Customers, services, gift card balances and bookings come across on our end, and if you're nearby we'll come sit with you for an afternoon to set things up the way you work.
Which kinds of salon is Bookbaar for?
Hair salons, barbers, nail studios, beauty and skin studios, spas and wellness practices: any studio that books appointments and wants a partner instead of a platform. Solo or a team of ten, same plan.
Where we are, and where we're going.
Bookbaar is built for all kinds of salons across the EU that want a partner, control over their data, and a flat predictable fee. We start in the Netherlands because that's where we are, but the product is designed to serve studios anywhere in Europe, and we'll expand as the studios we work with ask us to.
Need more? Ask.
