The AI receptionist that answers the phone while you're mid-fade
You can't hold the clippers and the phone at the same time. So when it rings, you either drop the line you're cutting or let it go — and the caller just books the shop down the road instead. EngageMinty answers every call as your shop, takes the booking straight into your diary, and sends reminders that keep the chair full and the no-shows down.
The problem with a phone you can't always answer
- ✕You're halfway through a skin fade — the phone rings, you can't break the line, and they book the barber two doors down.
- ✕Calls pile up on your busiest Saturdays, the exact day you've got no spare hands to answer them.
- ✕Clients ring after hours wanting Saturday's last slot, get voicemail, and never bother calling back.
How EngageMinty fixes it
Answers as your shop, 24/7
Every call picked up in your barbershop's name — Saturday rush or 10pm — so no booking ever rings out while you're cutting.
Books the slot, no double-bookings
It takes the service, the barber they want and the time, checks live availability and drops it straight onto your calendar.
Cuts the no-shows
Confirms the booking and fires off reminders by text, so fewer empty chairs and fewer slots wasted on people who never turn up.
Frequently asked questions
Will it sound like a robot?
No — it's a natural human-sounding voice, and you can even clone your own. Most clients won't clock that it's AI at all.
Can it book a specific barber?
Yes. It asks which barber they want, checks that chair's availability and books them in — no double-bookings, no clashes.
Will it cut down my no-shows?
Yes. It confirms every booking and sends text reminders before the appointment, so far fewer clients ghost the chair.
Can it answer in other languages?
Yes — it handles 32+ languages, so a walk-in who rings in their own language still gets booked in smoothly.
How much does it cost?
From £49/mo plus usage, or £149/mo all-inclusive. A handful of caught bookings a month covers it easily.
