Finish the fade. Rosie takes the booking.
Enquiries answered and booked on WhatsApp, so you're not choosing between the client in the chair and the one on the phone.
£29/month after the free tier. No commission, no contract, keep your own number.
The phone interrupts the work that's already paid for
A ringing phone in a one-chair shop is a lose-lose. Answer it and you've stopped mid-fade with a client sitting there. Ignore it and you've lost the booking. Neither option is good, and you make that choice thirty times a day.
Barbering has grown fast — around 19,000 barbershops in the UK now, up roughly 50% since 2018 — and most are small, with three quarters employing fewer than five people. That means the person cutting hair is usually also the person answering the phone, doing the books and managing the diary.
Most of these enquiries are simple: what do you charge, are you open Sunday, can I get in tonight. All of it is faster in writing, and none of it needs you to stop what you're doing.
What it looks like for barbers and hairdressers
Every price in that exchange came straight from the rate card you set up.
What it does, precisely
- Answers WhatsApp enquiries in seconds, on the number you already use.
- Asks the qualifying questions that matter for barbers and hairdressers — and only those.
- Quotes from your rate card, and brings you in when a customer suggests a figure of their own.
- Offers up to three genuinely free slots and books one.
- Hands over the moment you reply yourself, so you always have the floor.
- Flags anything urgent so you can ring back yourself.
What it costs
£29 a month, flat. No commission on bookings, no per-message charge, no contract. For a typical barber job at around £18, 2 extra bookings a month covers it.
The free tier handles your first ten conversations a month, enough to see how your customers take to it before you pay anything.
Questions barbers and hairdressers ask
How is this different from a booking app?
Partly. Those are booking platforms your client has to find, install or log into. This works in the app they already have open, on the number already on your window — and it answers questions, not just takes bookings. If your clients happily use a booking app already, you may not need this.
Do you take a commission on bookings?
No. £29 a month flat, however many bookings you take. We never touch payments.
What happens when the day is full?
It says so and offers your next real opening. Every time it puts forward is one your diary actually has.
Can it handle walk-in style 'you free now?' messages?
Yes — that's the most common message in this trade, and it's answered in seconds with your actual next free slot.
