💈 AI Receptionist for Barbershops

Keep Cutting. Ava Books the Next Chair.

Ava answers every call during your rush hour, after hours, and on weekends — booking appointments, answering pricing questions, and sending reminders so your chairs stay full without you picking up the phone.

Sound Familiar?

Every barbershop deals with these problems. Most just accept them. There's a better way.

✂️

Too Busy Cutting to Answer

You're mid-fade and the phone rings. You can't stop — so the caller hangs up and books at the barbershop around the corner.

🕙

Evening & Weekend Booking Calls

Clients try to book late at night or on Sunday. You're closed or off-duty, the call goes unanswered, and they find someone on a booking app instead.

🚫

No-Shows Wasting Chair Time

Booked appointments that don't show up cost real money. Without reminders, no-show rates climb to 25% or higher at most barbershops.

📋

Constant Repeat Questions

Hours, pricing, walk-in availability, barber availability — you answer the same questions on every call. That's time you're not spending on clients in the chair.
