THE REAL PROBLEM
Running a barbershop is a craft. Empty chairs aren't.
These aren't edge cases. They happen every single week in every busy shop — and most barbers don't realise how much revenue they're actually losing.
You're mid-cut and missing every booking call
Clippers running, client in the chair — your phone rings and you can't answer. That caller books somewhere else. In a busy shop, this happens a dozen times a day.
📵 Most barbers miss 30–40% of inbound booking callsNo-shows leave chairs empty with no warning
They booked a slot. They never showed. You held the chair, turned away walk-ins, and lost that revenue with zero notice. There was no confirmation system to catch it.
💸 Average shop loses $300–$600/month to no-showsLoyal clients fade away and you don't notice until it's too late
A regular comes every 3 weeks, then every 5, then every 2 months, then gone. By the time you realize, they've found another barber. There was no trigger to bring them back.
✂️ Most shops lose 20–35% of regulars silently each yearLast-minute cancellations trash your whole day's revenue
A cancellation at 9 AM means an empty 11 AM slot. You can't fill it fast enough manually — and walk-ins might not come. That's real money gone.
💸 Unrecovered cancellations average $45–$65 per slotInstagram DMs and call-in bookings are chaos to manage
You're juggling DMs, texts, calls, and walk-ins with no central system. Double bookings happen. Slots get missed. You spend mental energy managing the calendar instead of cutting hair.
⚡ Scheduling chaos costs 5–8 hrs of mental load per weekYou have no system to re-engage clients who go quiet
You know who your regulars are — but when they stop coming, you have no automated way to reach out. A single text at the right time could bring half of them back.
📲 A timely text recovers 40–60% of lapsed clientsHOW TEXTHEY SOLVES IT
SIX PROBLEMS.
ONE SYSTEM. ZERO EMPTY CHAIRS.
TextHey isn't generic booking software. It was built around the real operational pain of busy barbershops and hair salons.
The Problem

TextHey tracks every client's visit pattern. When a regular starts spacing out, it automatically sends a personalized re-engagement text — with a reason to come back.
✓ Win back clients before they're goneThe Problem
Booking via DM and phone is chaotic — double bookings and missed slots happen

One number, one system. Clients text in, select barber and service, pick a slot, and get a confirmation. Every booking is logged and synced. Zero scheduling chaos.
✓ Zero double bookings, zero scheduling chaosThe Problem
Happy clients don't leave reviews — and your shop misses new foot traffic
06The Fix

✓ 3–5× more Google reviews per monthSMART CLIENT RETENTION
Your regulars are telling you they're about to leave. TextHey listens.

Lapsed — Hasn't Been In for a While 😔

Questions
What barbers ask us most.
Most barbers are fully set up in under 45 minutes. You add your barbers, services, prices, and business number — TextHey handles everything else. We provide free onboarding support to make sure your first booking flows perfectly before you go live.
No. Clients book entirely through SMS — the same messaging app already on their phone. There's no app to install, no account to create, and no link to click. If they can send a text, they can book with TextHey.
Yes. Every barber gets their own availability settings. Clients can choose their preferred barber or select 'no preference' and TextHey will assign based on availability. Schedule changes are reflected in real time.
Manual texts require someone to sit down, find the booking, write a message, and send it — repeatedly, for every client, every day. TextHey does all of that automatically: booking confirmation, 24-hour reminder, same-day nudge, post-visit follow-up, and re-engagement campaigns. It runs while you're cutting hair, overnight, and on weekends.
The moment a cancellation comes in, TextHey instantly texts the client 2–3 available alternative slots pulled from your live calendar. They reply with a number to pick one. The new appointment is confirmed automatically — no staff involvement needed. Most shops recover over 60% of cancellations this way.
Absolutely. TextHey was built specifically around how barbershops operate — fast-paced, chair-based, with regulars who expect quick communication. Whether you run a solo chair or a 10-seat shop, the booking flow, chair recovery system, and retention campaigns all work the same way.
