AN IN-HOUSE GIRALABS PRODUCT — In development

Bipsy

Booking at your barbershop, hair salon or beauty studio should take two taps. Running it, none at all.

Bipsy is the booking ecosystem we are building in-house: two mobile apps sharing one engine, one for the person booking and one for the person running the place. It is not published yet — it is in active development, and we are building it out in the open.

Coming soon on

The starting point

In most barbershops, hair salons and beauty studios the calendar still lives in a notebook, in a late-night WhatsApp or in a call nobody picks up while a client is in the chair. The venue loses slots it will never know it lost; the client loses patience.

Our bet

One ecosystem and zero friction: the client discovers, books and remembers the appointment from the phone; the venue sees the whole day on one screen and confirms with a single gesture. No desktop panel, no manual, no change in how they already work.

THE ECOSYSTEM

Two apps, one engine.

Each side of the counter gets its own app. They share catalogue, availability and appointment state in real time.

Bipsy For the client

The client app. Find the place, pick service and professional, and lock the time without messaging anyone.

  • Discovery by category: barbershop, hair salon, beauty
  • Real availability and booking in two taps
  • Reminders before the appointment, no calls
  • History to repeat your last booking
  • Preferred professional and favourite venues
  • Verified reviews after the service
Bipsy Business For the venue

The salon app. The entire day on one screen, with everything needed to confirm, move or fill a slot.

  • Today, pending and upcoming days at a glance
  • Confirm or cancel an appointment in one gesture
  • Services with their own duration and price
  • Team, shifts and schedule per professional
  • Client profile with notes and history
  • Open slots always in sight

HOW IT WORKS

From sign-up to the chair, in four steps.

  1. The venue signs up

    Straight from Bipsy Business on the phone: venue details, team and time zone.

  2. It publishes services and hours

    Every service with its duration, its price and the professionals who deliver it.

  3. The client books

    They find the salon on Bipsy, see the real open slots and confirm instantly.

  4. Both see the same thing

    The appointment lands on the venue agenda and on the client phone, in sync.

IDENTITY

Meet Bip.

Bip is the face of Bipsy. It shows up when a screen is empty, when something breaks and when there is something to celebrate. Not decoration: it is the product tone of voice turned into a character, and the reason a booking app can actually be likeable.

  • Warm, never childish

    It keeps you company without getting in the way: it appears exactly where people hesitate.

  • A system, not a sticker

    Poses, expressions and scenes defined to cover the whole product.

  • Consistent across both apps

    Same character, different wardrobe: hoodie on Bipsy, suit on Business.
