Barber Shops

Every missed chair call is a walk-in at the shop down the block.

Walk-ins, weekly fades, beard trims, line-ups.

What you're losing today

  • โ€”Mid-cut, hands wet, clippers running โ€” the phone rings and the lead goes to voicemail. The next shop on Google answers.
  • โ€”Walk-ins call to ask 'how long's the wait?' โ€” you can't drop a fade to check the book.
  • โ€”Regulars want their usual time slot and your usual chair โ€” miss the call and you lose the loyalty.
  • โ€”Wedding parties and groups need a different booking flow than a walk-in fade. One missed group call is a $300 day.

How it books

  • โ€ขSolo operators: book directly into the owner's calendar; the calendar is the chair.
  • โ€ขMulti-chair shops: walk-in wait times answered from live shop status the owner sets via SMS each morning.
  • โ€ขMulti-chair shops: specific-barber requests only booked when that barber's calendar shows availability โ€” never double-book.
  • โ€ขGroup bookings (3+) ALWAYS routed to owner callback โ€” requires chair coordination + deposit.
