Free barbershop software for barbering colleges and students
Free barbershop software accounts for every student and tutor on your barbering course. Real appointment management, client records, and payment tools - not textbook screenshots.
The gap in barbering education
Most barbering courses teach cuts, fades, and technique brilliantly. But students graduate without ever using a booking system, managing no-shows, keeping client records, or processing a payment. The business side of barbering gets left to trial-and-error on the shop floor.
What’s included
Free student accounts
Every student on your course gets their own Setora account at no cost. They learn with the same tools working barbers use - appointments, client records, payments, and analytics.
Free college training account
A dedicated account for tutors to demonstrate features, run mock scenarios, and manage training appointments. Set up once, use across every cohort.
Graduate head start
When students graduate, they keep their account free for 3 months. Enough time to build a client base before paying a penny.

Questions from colleges
Yes. Student and tutor accounts are completely free for the duration of the course. No trial period, no credit card, no hidden upgrade. We do this because students who learn on Setora are more likely to use it when they start working.
As many as you need. Whether your cohort is 10 students or 100, every student gets their own account. Accounts are created per intake, so each new cohort gets fresh accounts.
Graduates keep their account free for 3 months after the course ends. After that, they can continue on the standard plan or export their data and move on. No lock-in.
Setora runs in any modern web browser - phone, tablet, or laptop. No app download required. If your students have a phone with a browser, they are ready to go.
Absolutely. Tutors can review student accounts to assess how they manage bookings, handle client records, and process payments. It gives you a practical assessment tool alongside theory work.
Dedicated onboarding help, a tutor walkthrough session, and priority chat support throughout the academic year. If something is not working, message us and we fix it the same day.
