BARBERBALANCES Pricing
Pick the plan that fits your business today
Our plans are designed to scale with your shop! Pricing is based on your monthly transaction volume to ensure you only pay for the level of support you need. If your shop grows beyond the plan limits, we’ll work with you to find the right fit for your new volume.
Your chair probably costs $150–$300 a week. Your books, your taxes, and a CPA cost $149 a month.
Barber Essentials
$79/mo for your first 3 months, then $149/mo
For solo barbers and booth renters who want their books handled and their numbers clear.
- QuickBooks Online included — we set it up and manage it for you
- Your income, tips, and business expenses tracked and organized
- Simple questions sent to you when we need help identifying a purchase — no spreadsheets or accounting jargon
- Know your real take-home every month: what you made, what you spent, and what you kept
- Know how much to set aside for taxes — so April doesn't catch you off guard
- Tax-ready books at year-end, plus discounted tax preparation for active clients
Less than one week of chair rent for clear books and fewer money surprises.
Barber Pro
$129/mo for your first 3 months, then $249/mo
For growing barbers who want more tax support and help making smarter money decisions.
Everything in Essentials, plus:
- Quarterly estimated tax calculations — know what to pay and when
- A deeper look at your numbers so you can see what's making you money and where it's going
- More guidance to help you make smarter business decisions
- Priority support when you have bookkeeping or tax questions
About $8 a day for better numbers, better decisions, and fewer tax surprises.
Barber Shop
Starting at $259/mo for your first 3 months, then from $499/mo
For barbershop owners with multiple chairs, higher activity, or more complex books.
Everything in Pro, plus:
- See your whole shop clearly: shop income, booth rent collected, major expenses, and owner-level reports
- Contractor payment tracking and 1099 preparation
- A quarterly strategy meeting with your CPA to review what's working, what needs attention, and where the business can grow
- Budget and cash-flow planning to help you stay ahead of rent, major expenses, and other obligations
Financial oversight for your entire shop for less than what one productive chair can bring in each month.
A “transaction” is a line on your business bank or card statement — not a haircut. Most solo barbers fall well within Essentials. If you grow past your plan, we’ll flag it and find the right fit together — no surprise upgrades.
