What the agent takes off your hands
Books with the right barber
Knows which barber a regular goes to and offers a time with that barber. A newcomer gets the nearest free chair.
Understands voice messages
A client says in a voice message “brother, can I come tomorrow after six?”, and the agent replies in text with actual slots. The barber does not have to listen to anything between cuts.
Answers on prices and services
Says what a haircut, a beard trim or both together cost and how long it will take. Prices come only from your list, and it never invents discounts of its own.
Books several people at once
When someone writes “there are three of us, a father and two sons”, the agent looks for back-to-back slots or two chairs at the same time and offers the most convenient option.
Hands the tricky ones to you
Complaints about a cut and requests for a discount are not the agent’s call: it passes them to your front desk together with the chat. The alert arrives on Telegram, and you can reply with one tap.
Margilan: local context
One of the oldest silk-weaving centres on the Silk Road, in the Fergana Valley.
UNESCO has added the local crafts centre, where atlas and adras silk are hand-woven, to its register of good safeguarding practices.
Weaving is a family business here, and many workshops run right in the courtyards of homes.
On Thursdays and Sundays the Kumtepa bazaar is crowded from dawn, and on those days people try to get important things done before lunch.
In Margilan clients mostly write in Uzbek, and many send voice messages. The agent understands both text and voice and answers in the same language, with the price and a free time.

Does the agent answer in Uzbek?
Yes. It answers in the language of the message: Uzbek, Russian or English. If a client switches from Uzbek to Russian, the agent switches too.
Where are bookings kept?

What does the agent say to someone who wants to walk in?
The agent answers by your rules and names the nearest free time in the same message. The client can then choose: come in and wait, or take a set time.
Can several people be booked at once?
Yes. The client says how many people and by what time, and the agent spreads the booking across free chairs. If they do not all fit, it suggests starting earlier.
What if the agent does not know the answer?
