The real cost
Nobody puts down the clippers to answer a phone.
Barbershops run on flow. A ringing phone breaks the cut, and the caller who wanted to know the wait time just drives to the shop up the road instead.

FAQ
Barbers questions.
Can it tell someone the current wait time?+
Where your booking system exposes the queue, yes. Otherwise it explains your walk-in policy and typical wait honestly and offers a booking.
We're walk-in only — is it still useful?+
Very. Most barbershop calls are hours, wait times, prices and services. Reel AI answers all of them without anyone stopping a cut.
Can clients request a specific barber?+
Yes. Regulars are booked with their barber, and Reel AI offers the next available chair when they are booked out.
Does it handle kids' cuts and multi-person bookings?+
Yes — it books the right number of chairs with the right duration for each cut.
Relay the phone. Keep the clippers running.
