Keep cutting. Your messages still get answered.
You're halfway through a fade and your phone buzzes. "Any slots today?" "How much for a skin fade?" "Are you open Sunday?" You can't reply with clippers in your hand. We set up an assistant that answers on Facebook Messenger with your real prices and hours, then sends people to your booking page.
Sound familiar?
"Any slots today?"
It lands while you're mid-cut. You can't reply there and then, and they may try the next shop.
Prices and hours, again
The same few questions, typed out again and again, every single day.
Reviews with no reply
A good review deserves a thank you. A bad one needs a calm answer. Neither gets written after a full day on your feet.
A half-empty Google profile
Wrong hours, few photos, no list of services. People searching for a barber may skip past it.
How we help
A chat that answers while you cut
On Facebook Messenger, day and night. It uses your real prices and opening hours, then points people to your booking page.
Name and number if it's stuck
If someone asks something it can't answer, it takes their name and number so you can call them back.
Review replies
Personal replies to your Google and Facebook reviews. We draft them, you approve each one.
Google profile tune-up
We sort out your Google listing: categories, photos, hours and services. Includes a review request kit (your review link, QR code and counter card) and listings on Apple Maps and Bing.
What it won't do
Better to know now. The chat doesn't see your diary and it doesn't book chairs. It sends people to your booking page, or takes their name and number. It doesn't answer phone calls either. It's there to take the repeat questions off you, not to replace how you book.
Coming soon

Can the chat book people in?
No. It doesn't see your diary. It answers questions with your real prices and hours, then sends people to your booking page. If they'd rather talk, it takes their name and number so you can call them.
Does it work on Instagram or WhatsApp?
Not yet. Instagram and WhatsApp messages are coming soon. Right now it answers Facebook Messenger messages. Website chat is an optional add-on (+£20/month with the assistant). If most of your messages come through Instagram or WhatsApp, ask Darren and he'll tell you straight whether it's worth it yet.
What if it gets a price wrong?
It only uses the prices and hours you give us. If something isn't written down, it's set up not to guess: it takes a name and number for you. When your prices change, Darren updates it.
Do I need a website?
No. Your Facebook page and booking link are enough to start. If you want a website later, a one-page site is £349.
Do you only work with barbers near Cannock?
No. We work with small businesses anywhere in the UK. Darren is based in Cannock and can visit around Cannock and Hednesford. Everyone else is set up by phone or video call, at a time that suits you.
Am I locked in?
Monthly services can be cancelled with 30 days' notice. Bundles with a discounted setup have a 3-month minimum.
Fancy a chat?
The chat on this page is the same kind of assistant we'd set up for your shop. Ask it anything, or get in touch with Darren.
Or email [email protected]. Darren replies personally, usually the same day.
