Barbershop

Men's barbershop — haircuts, beard grooming, styling.

Why an AI receptionist for a barbershop

• Over **60% of DMs** in a barbershop are "when do you have a slot?" — repetitive questions that eat into time between clients. • Instagram DM booking conversion drops by **70% if the client waits more than 5 minutes** for a reply. The bot replies in under 2 seconds — 24/7. • Pre-loaded slang vocabulary: **fade, undercut, skin fade, scissor cut, taper, line up** — recognized out of the box. • Works with teams of **2-5 barbers**, each with their own Google Calendar and per-barber pricing.

Sample conversation

A typical Instagram DM session from question to confirmed booking — takes about 25 seconds.
