Why barbershops and salons miss bookings
Your hands are busy
With scissors or clippers in your hands and a client in the chair, you cannot take a call. A caller who gets no answer books somewhere else.
Bookings arrive at odd hours
People decide to book in the evening or on a day off. Whoever answers first, or has a free slot to offer straight away, gets the appointment.
Moves and cancellations interrupt the work
Each call to change an appointment pulls you away from the person in the chair. The agent changes the booking and tells you, so the gap can be filled.
The same quick questions, all day
Do you take walk-ins, how much is a fade, are you open on Sunday. They are short questions, and there are a lot of them.
Example call to Corner Cuts Barbers
- Assistant: Hi, you've reached Corner Cuts. I'm an AI assistant. How can I help?
- Caller: Do you do beard trims, and are you free Saturday morning?
- Assistant: Yes, a beard trim is $15 and takes about 20 minutes. I have Saturday at 10:00 or 11:30 with Luis.
- Caller: 10:00 please. Can I bring my son too? He needs a haircut.
- Assistant: Of course. I can book him at 10:30, right after you. Would you like that?
- Caller: Yes, do that.
- Assistant: Done. You're booked Saturday at 10:00 and your son at 10:30. Anything else?
- 2 appointments booked: Saturday 10:00 and 10:30
- Added to Google Calendar
- Summary sent to the shop on WhatsApp
What it does for a barbershop or salon
Books, moves and cancels
Checks your calendar and books straight into Google Calendar or Outlook. When a client calls to change or cancel, it updates the booking and lets you know.
Knows your services and prices
You list your services, what they cost and how long they take. It answers "how much" and "how long" the way you would, and offers times that suit.
Answers walk-in and opening-hours questions
Opening hours, whether you take walk-ins, where to park and what to bring. If a question is not covered, it takes a message and tells you.
Brings clients back
Places reminder calls before appointments and follow-up calls afterwards. Anyone who asks not to be called again is never called again.
Speaks your clients' language
Answers in 32 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Arabic and Russian, so every client feels welcome on the phone.
Tells you what happened
A transcript, a short summary and the outcome of every call, sent to WhatsApp, Telegram, text message, Slack, Microsoft Teams or email, so you can check it between clients.
Questions from barbershops and salons
Can it book with a particular barber or stylist?
It reads and books in the calendar you connect. A shop that keeps one shared calendar for all chairs works well, and you can tell the agent who does which service and put the name in the booking.
What if a client wants something it does not know?
It says it is not sure, takes a message and tells you about it. If you have set a transfer number, it can hand the call to a person.
Does it work with Booksy, Fresha or Square?
It has no direct link to those booking apps today. It books into Google Calendar and Outlook and works with Cal.com and Calendly, and other tools connect through Zapier, Make and n8n.
Can I keep my phone number?
Yes. Forward calls from your current number, or bring a number you already own. You can also buy a new number in the app in the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Ireland and Australia.
Will clients know it is an AI?
Yes. It says so in its first sentence on every call, and it will tell anyone who asks. It never pretends to be a person.
How much does it cost for a barbershop or salon?
Pay as you go is $0.20 a minute with no monthly fee, so a quiet shop pays only for the minutes used. A busier shop can use Small ($59 a month, 300 minutes included). Each phone number is $1 a month, and the first 60 minutes are free.
Pricing
