LocalGenius for barbers

“Any walk-ins today?”Booked by 8:14.

We build your barber shop's website, then look after everything around the chair: the Instagram and Facebook messages, your booking link, the fade photos, the reviews and every suburb nearby.

What do you do, and where?

From $29.99 a month. Free domain for the first year.

One chair, one Friday

Follow one fade at Ironside Barbers.

Dan runs a three-chair shop in Footscray, Melbourne. Most of his customers message on Instagram or Facebook, not the phone. This is one Friday, and every step happened in LocalGenius or because of it.

Ironside, Dan and Marcus are made up to show how it works

“Any walk-ins today?” Answered with your booking link.

Marcus needs a fade before a mate's 30th. He messages on Instagram. It lands in one inbox with your Facebook messages, website chat and emails, each marked with where it came from. Dan sends back his booking link from the chair, and Marcus grabs the 12:40.

Skin fade with Dan, today 12:40pm

1:10pmFriday

The fade photo becomes a post.

Dan snaps the back of Marcus's head and drops it into Posts. Genius writes the words for his shop and the weekend, Dan reads it, taps Schedule, and it goes to Instagram, Facebook and Google at 5pm, when everyone's scrolling.

A thank-you text on Friday. Five stars on Saturday.

As Marcus paid, Dan sent a review request by text with the Google link. Marcus posted five stars the morning after the party, and the next bloke searching “barber near me” sees it.

Messaged on Insta at 8, in the chair by 12:40. Best skin fade I've had in the west and Dan sorted the beard too. Fully booked shop and they still fit me in.
Response from the ownerCheers Marcus! Hope the 30th was a good one. See you in three weeks. Dan

Someone new in Yarraville finds you. Tomorrow's first booking.

Dan's at home. A bloke who just moved to Yarraville searches “barber Yarraville” and lands on Ironside's Yarraville page: five minutes away, real fade photos, the reviews, and a Book button that opens Dan's booking app.

  • A page for every service: fades, beards, shaves, kids' cuts

Questions

Things barbers ask us.

Something else? Email support@localgenius.com.au and a real person will get back to you.

Will it work with Fresha, Squire or Booksy?

Yes. Keep the booking app you already use. Your Book buttons on every page go straight to your booking page, and you can send the same link back when someone messages. LocalGenius doesn't take bookings or payments itself.

Most of my customers message on Instagram. Does that work?

Yes. Instagram and Facebook messages land in the same inbox as your website chat, forms and email, each marked with where it came from, so you can answer them all from your phone between cuts.

Do posts go out without me seeing them?

Never. Add your fade photos and Genius writes the words, then the post waits for your OK before it goes to Facebook, Instagram and Google.

Do I have to write anything?

No. Tell us what you do and where, and LocalGenius writes your home page, a page for each service and a page for each suburb. Want something changed? Type it to Genius, like “add hot towel shaves to my services”.

Is the domain included?

Yes, your domain is free for the first year on every plan.

Someone's after a fade right now. Be the shop they find.

Get your barber shop website up, then let LocalGenius look after the messages, posts and reviews around every cut.
