AI Scheduling for Salons & Barbershops

Keep chairs full, phones calm, and clients happy with an AI agent that books, reschedules, and reminds 24/7.

ree

Your stylists and barbers are slammed. The phone is ringing, DMs are piling up, and clients want fast answers about availability, prices, and services.

Ferdinand becomes your AI Scheduling Agent for salons and barbershops — handling the repetitive booking work so your team can focus on delivering great cuts and client care.


No more missed calls. No more late-night messaging marathons. Just smooth, automated scheduling on every channel.


What Ferdinand Automates for Salons & Barbershops

✔ New Appointment Bookings

Clients can book using natural language:

“Any openings for a fade after 5pm?”“I need a cut and color next Thursday.”“Who’s available for a beard trim today?”

Ferdinand checks:

  • Service types (cut, color, beard trim, kids cut, etc.)

  • Stylist/barber availability

  • Service durations

  • Location (if you have more than one shop)

…and books the right slot instantly.


✔ Rescheduling Without the Back-and-Forth

No more endless texts or DMs.


Ferdinand:

  • Finds alternative times

  • Offers the next best options

  • Updates the appointment

  • Sends confirmations automatically


Clients get flexibility. Your team stays focused.


✔ Cancellations With Your Policy Built In

Ferdinand understands your rules:

  • Same-day cancellation policies

  • Late cancel or no-show fees

  • “Too late to cancel” cutoffs

  • New vs returning client rules


Every cancellation is handled consistently and fairly.


✔ Automated Reminders & Follow-Ups

Reduce no-shows and last-minute gaps with:

  • SMS reminders

  • Email confirmations

  • “Tap to confirm” messages

  • Follow-up nudges for overdue clients


You get a fuller book and fewer empty chairs.


✔ Service & Stylist/Barber Logic

Salons and barbershops aren’t one-size-fits-all.


Ferdinand handles:

  • Which services each stylist/barber offers

  • Different durations (skin fade vs buzz cut vs color)

  • Add-ons (shampoo, hot towel, design work, beard detail)

  • Double-booking rules if you allow processing overlaps

  • Kids cuts vs adults, men’s vs women’s services


No more mis-matched bookings or timing mistakes.


✔ Answering Everyday Client Questions

Before booking, clients ask things like:

  • “How much is a cut and beard trim?”

  • “Do you take walk-ins?”

  • “Can I book for my kid too?”

  • “Where are you located and where do I park?”

  • “What’s your cancellation policy?”


Ferdinand answers instantly using your approved info, keeping your inbox and phone lines clear.


Where Clients Can Use Ferdinand

Deploy your AI scheduling agent wherever clients reach out:

  • Website chat widget

  • SMS / text

  • Instagram & Facebook DMs

  • WhatsApp (if you use it)

  • Google Business Messages

  • Phone (AI voice agent that replaces basic phone trees)


One brain, all channels — so clients never slip through the cracks.
