AI receptionist for barbershops in Taldykorgan
In Taldykorgan men want a haircut today and write at lunch or after work. The agent answers at once, says which barber can take them soonest and books it, so the client does not wait in a queue.
Good evening! I’d like to come in on Saturday with my son, he’s eight. Could you cut us both one after the other?
Good evening! Yes. On Saturday Arman is free from 11:00: your son first, then you. A kids’ haircut is 3,000 tenge and a men’s cut is 4,000 tenge. Shall I book you?
Yes, please.
Booked for two on Saturday: 11:00 kids’ haircut, 11:30 men’s haircut, with Arman.
Great. He fidgeted a lot last time, is that OK?
No problem, I’ve noted it on the booking so the barber knows in advance. See you on Saturday!

What the agent takes off your hands
Books with his usual barber
Offers a regular a time with his usual barber and finds a newcomer whoever is free first. The booking shows up in your schedule or CRM straight away, so the barber knows who is next.
Quotes prices
Explains what a package includes and how a scissor cut differs from a clipper cut. Prices come only from your list.
Handles walk-ins
If you take walk-ins, the agent says so and suggests the quieter hours. If you don’t, it offers the nearest free slot straight away.
Reminds and reschedules
The reminder arrives on the morning of the visit. A single reply is enough to move the haircut, so the barber is not left without a client.
Passes the tricky ones to you
A complaint about a cut, a discount request, a visit to the groom before a toi: conversations like these go to your front desk or the owner along with the chat history.
Taldykorgan: local context
The centre of Zhetysu Region on the Karatal river, in the foothills of the Zhetysu (Dzungarian) Alatau.
The town grew from the settlers’ village of Gavrilovka and is closely tied to the poet Ilyas Zhansugurov, whose literary museum is here.
A green, unhurried town, where people from villages and district centres all over Zhetysu Region come to shop and for services.
In summer holiday traffic passes through on the highway north and east across the region, towards the lakes and the mountains.
In Taldykorgan men also come in from the villages of the region for a haircut, mostly on Saturday, when they have other business in town. The agent fits the time around the trip and sends a reminder the day before.

Frequently asked questions
Will the agent reply to a client in Kazakh?
Yes. A client can start in Russian and carry on in Kazakh, and the agent switches with him without losing track of the booking.
What does the agent tell someone who wants to walk in?
Whatever your rules say. If you take walk-ins, the agent says so and suggests the quieter hours. Either way it offers the nearest free time so nobody has to wait.
Where does the agent put bookings?
Wherever you already keep your schedule. The barbers see new bookings at once, with nothing rewritten. A barbershop without a system can use the built-in Solwees CRM, with a schedule and a client base.
Can the agent book a father and son or a group of friends?
Yes. Back to back with one barber or at the same time with different ones, whichever suits them. Before a toi that is common, and the agent books the whole group in one chat.
What happens if a client is unhappy with a cut?
Chats like that go straight to a person. You see the whole history in one inbox and reply from there, and the client gets the answer in the same messenger.
Does it work if we have locations across the region?
Yes. Each location gets its own address, hours and staff. The agent asks where the customer would rather go, in Taldykorgan or closer to home, and books there.
How do I connect the agent?
You need your channels, a price list and your barbers with their hours, and an evening is usually enough for all of it. A week free, no card needed.
