For Barber Shops
Incoming Call...
Client
"Hey, can I get a haircut tomorrow afternoon? Looking for a fade."
AI Receptionist
"Absolutely! Marcus has a slot at 2:30 PM tomorrow. He specializes in fades. Should I book you in?"
✓ Booked • Marcus • 2:30 PM
You're losing clients every day your chairs sit empty. Walk-ins call after hours, no-shows waste your time, and your team can't keep up. There's a better way.
A new client finds your shop at 8 PM, calls to book a cut, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with the barbershop down the street who answered.
While you're mid-fade, three more calls come in. Booking requests, rescheduling, service questions—you can't cut hair and answer the phone at once. Clients get frustrated waiting, and you lose bookings.
You block off time, turn away walk-ins, and wait. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty chair.

Alex shows up for the rescheduled appointment. She loves the haircut. You mark it complete in your CRM.

All happening automatically—you're just cutting hair.
Alex just finished her haircut. She's walking to her car when her phone buzzes. It's a feedback request from Frontdesk Forms—already filled with her name, email, and the service she just received.

The AI answers instantly, provides the information, and even offers to book her a slot. Alex doesn't have to wait until tomorrow or check multiple places. She just asks, and gets an answer.
