SMS for Barber Shops
Fill empty chairs with booking alerts, keep regulars close with personal texts and send receipts the moment a cut is done.
Built for how barber shops actually text clients
Barber shops run on regulars and walk-ins, and a quiet afternoon usually just needs a nudge to the right people. Australian barbers use Mobile Message to let their client list know when chairs are free this week, send personal updates like a price change straight from the owner, and text a receipt or thank you the moment a cut is finished.
Mobile Message sends from your shop's own name, from 1.6¢ per message, so a booking alert or price update reads like it's actually from your barber, not a noreply number. Replies land in a shared inbox your whole team can see, and the same account can text your roster to staff and receipts to clients.
Booking availability alerts
Text your client list when chairs free up this week, useful for filling a quiet afternoon before the weekend rush.
Personal updates from the owner
Send price changes or business news straight from you, signed by name, so regulars hear it from you first.
Receipts and service complete texts
Text a receipt or a quick thank you the moment a cut is done, a nice touch that costs almost nothing.
Price and policy change notices
Let your whole client list know about a price rise or new booking policy in one message, with an opt-out included.
Review requests and birthday messages
Ask happy customers for a Google review after their cut, and send a birthday message to keep regulars coming back.
