What he worked out while you were busy

  1. 1
    Skin fade, dry cut, or beard as well? Different chair times, different prices. Alfie gets it right so your day doesn't run over.
  2. 2
    Anyone in particular, or first available? Regulars want their barber. Alfie checks the right diary instead of double-booking the shop.
  3. 3
    Is it for today, or are you booking ahead? Walk-in demand gets pointed at the gaps you actually have.
  4. 4
    Any little ones getting cut too? Kids' cuts are a different price and a different slot length. Asked up front, not at the door.

Then he quoted it off your price list, checked your diary and booked it. Typical: £18 skin fade, £14 dry cut.

Rules for barbers

Straight answers

Questions barbers ask us

Can he book into individual barbers' diaries?

Yes. Each barber has their own chair and their own hours. Alfie asks who they want, checks that person's diary, and only offers slots that actually exist.

What about walk-ins?

He tells them honestly how busy you are and what the wait looks like, then offers to hold them a slot instead. Fewer people turning up and turning round.

Will he chase no-shows?

He'll send a reminder the day before and the morning of. If someone cancels, the slot goes back in the diary and Alfie can offer it to the next person who asks.

Will customers know it's not a real person?

Alfie's polite, quick and speaks like a normal human — most people just think they got through to a very on-the-ball receptionist. If someone asks outright, he's honest about it. And if a call needs you, he'll put it through or take a message.

How long does setting up actually take?

About ten minutes. Pick your trade, enter your prices and hours, paste one line of code on your site (or send it to whoever built it). Most people are live the same day.

Do I need to give card details for the trial?

No. Fourteen days free, nothing to enter upfront. If Alfie's not earning his keep, walk away and you'll never hear from us again.
