Sounds like your best front-desk hire
Friendly, quick and never on another line. It knows your barbers, your hours and your prices, and it only offers times that are really open.
When a regular calls, it remembers what they get. When someone wants you, it puts them through to your cell and tells you it's a shop call before you say hello.
CallerHey, can I get in with Tony tomorrow?
The UsualSure thing, Mike. Tony has 10:30 or 1:15. Want the usual, a number 2 on the sides and a little off the top?
Caller10:30. Yeah, the usual.
The UsualYou're all set for 10:30 with Tony. I'll text you a reminder the day before.
What it does
- Answers every callDuring a cut, at lunch, after you lock up. No more calling people back at 8 PM.
- Books into your scheduleEach barber's hours and days off, the right length for each service. No double-booking.
- Texts remindersA confirmation when they book and a reminder before, so fewer empty chairs.
- Remembers the usualClipper guard, the fade, the beard: tap it in once and it's there next time, for you and for the phone.
- Answers texts, too"You open Monday?" handled. It hands the conversation to you when it should.
- Puts calls through to youUpset caller or a question only you can answer? It sends them to your cell, and if you can't pick up, they leave a voicemail.
- Gives you a booking pageYour shop's own page with your photos, hours and services, for the folks who'd rather tap than talk.
- Runs on what you haveUse it on the tablet at the station or the phone in your pocket. Nothing to install.
Keep your number
Customers keep calling the number on your door. Have your phone company forward it to The Usual when you're busy, after hours, or all day. Your call.
Pay for the calls it takes
No contract, no monthly fee, no setup charge.
Voicemails and reminder texts are on the house. A shop taking 200 calls and 200 texts a month pays about $80. Top up by card whenever you like, or let it top up on its own. Set a monthly limit and it never goes over.
Want it for your shop?
