Frequently Asked Questions

Can clients book a specific barber?

Yes. Each barber's schedule, skills, and service offerings are configured individually. The AI matches callers to their preferred barber or suggests an available alternative with similar expertise.

How does the walk-in waitlist work?

Callers or texters are added to a live waitlist. The AI provides estimated wait times based on current appointments and texts the client when their barber is almost ready, so they don't have to wait in the shop.
