Floyd's 99 Barbershop

Review by eFreeware

Most barbershop chains treat an app as a booking form with a logo on it. What stands out about Floyd's 99 Barbershop is that the app is built around the visit itself: you are checked in automatically the moment you walk into the shop, and a single account can carry several family members' appointments. That is a more specific idea of convenience than a plain calendar, and it shapes everything else the app does.

It is free, carries no advertising and offers no in-app purchases, and it has been on Google Play since September 2020. The install base sits at over 10,000, with a 4.1 average from 217 ratings. I'd expect it to appeal most to people who already get their hair cut at Floyd's 99 and want the booking side handled in one place.

Booking a cut around your own schedule

The core of the app is a reservation flow: you create an account, choose your location, then pick a service and a time. If you care who cuts your hair, you can request your favorite stylist or barber rather than taking whoever is next in the chair. The developer sums the whole process up as booking with a tap, and the sequence it describes is short enough that the promise is not hard to believe.

The account is not just a login. It gives the app a place to keep your preferences and your reservation history, so the details you set once are available the next time you book. That is the part I find most useful in principle, because it means the app remembers the things you would otherwise repeat at the counter.

History covers services you have already had as well as ones coming up, which makes it easy to see when you were last in and what you had done. For anyone who books on a rough cycle, that record is more helpful than a reminder alone.

Family appointments under one login

Family booking lets you arrange services for several people together using only one account, so a parent managing haircuts for children does not need separate logins for each of them. The appointments sit alongside your own in the same reservation history.

That single-account design is the feature I would point to first for households. It also means the preferences the app stores can cover more than one person, which fits the way a family tends to book: several services, one visit, one checkout.

The trade-off is that family bookings run through that one account. For a solo customer it makes no difference; for a household it removes a step.

Arriving, paying and staying in touch

Auto check-in is the feature that separates this app from a generic appointment book. According to the developer, the app registers your arrival the moment you enter the shop, so there is no need to check in at the desk. It is a small thing that only matters if the shop is busy, and that is exactly when it matters most.

Payment can be handled without handing over a card: you add your card details to your account and check out faster, which the developer also frames as a safety measure. The app also shows how much is left on a gift card, so you can check a balance before you are standing at the register.

For questions about a reservation, the app supports two-way communication with your shop: you can send a text message or place a call directly from it. That keeps the conversation attached to the booking instead of sending you hunting for a phone number.

Promotions, and what the app asks of you

The app is also where the chain puts app-exclusive offers and promotions. You can apply a promotion to a service and manage the ones on your account, so a deal does not have to be remembered or mentioned in person. The developer treats this as a VIP perk for people who book through the app rather than by phone.

The main requirement is an account. Registration is described as simple, and it is what allows the app to track preferences and reservation history, so the features that make the app worth having are tied to signing up.

The app is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases, so there is nothing to weigh beyond the account itself. Floyd's 99 still accepts walk-ins and call-ahead reservations, which means the app is an option rather than the only way in.

A good fit for regulars at the chair

The people who will get the most from this app are existing Floyd's 99 customers who book often enough that the routine is worth streamlining. If you have a preferred barber or stylist, the ability to request them by name alongside your service and time is the difference between the app and a phone call.

Households with several heads of hair to schedule are the other clear audience, since one account covers the whole group and keeps everyone's appointments in one list. The gift card balance check and the stored card for touchless payment round out the case for anyone who visits regularly.

Someone who gets a cut a few times a year at whichever shop is closest may not need any of this. The app is built for repeat visits, and it is at its most useful when the same people keep coming back to the same shop.

Booking that remembers how you like your hair

The Floyd's 99 Barbershop app is a focused, free companion for one chain's customers, and it does the job without advertising or purchases getting in the way. Automatic check-in, family bookings on a single account, stored payment and a record of past and upcoming visits add up to a booking tool that knows more about your habits than a calendar does.

The 4.1 average across 217 ratings suggests a generally satisfied user base, and the app has been updated as recently as September 2026, so it is being kept current. For regulars who want their stylist, their preferences and their family's appointments in one place, installing it is an easy call. If you only visit occasionally and pay at the counter, this app may not be for you.
