AI receptionist for barbershops in Talgar
In Talgar people write to their barber personally on WhatsApp, and the message waits until he finishes the cut. The agent answers for him: quotes the price, offers the nearest free time and books.
Good evening! I’m booked for 19:00 but I’m stuck in traffic, I’ll be about twenty minutes late. What should I do?
Good evening! No problem: the barber’s next client isn’t until 20:15, so there’s time for your cut. Baurzhan knows and expects you around 19:20.
Great, on my way. Is there time for the beard too?
Yes, it fits. I’ve added the beard to your booking, so with the haircut it comes to 5,000 tenge.
Thanks!
See you soon! If the traffic gets worse, write here and I’ll offer you another time.
When customers write in Talgar
Before a toi there is a queue at the barber’s, and at the end of August fathers bring their sons in for a back-to-school cut. On days like these there are more messages than the barber can read.
Busiest hours: 10:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 20:00
First message of the day: is anyone free at lunchtime today.
Two friends arranging to come in at the same time.
After closing: booking for first thing tomorrow.
Answers in Kazakh and Russian
The agent writes in the customer’s language: if someone starts in Kazakh, the answer comes in Kazakh. Here is the same reply in both languages.
If a customer writes in English, the agent answers in English.
Сәлеметсіз бе! Бүгін сағат 19:00-да шебер Бауыржан бос. Сізді шаш қиюға жазайын ба?
Здравствуйте! Сегодня в 19:00 мастер Бауыржан свободен. Записать вас на стрижку?
What the agent takes off your hands
Books with his usual barber
Answers with a definite time, not “drop by and we’ll see”. Bookings are saved in your system, or in the built-in Solwees CRM if you have none.
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
Sees from the schedule when the next chair frees up and offers that time instead of a wait in the queue.
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
If a client is unhappy, the agent does not argue or promise a redo on your behalf. The conversation goes to a person, who sees at once what it was about.
Talgar: local context
The centre of Talgar District on the northern slopes of the Trans-Ili Alatau, east of Almaty, with Talgar Peak rising above the town.
On the southern edge of town lies the Talgar ancient settlement, a medieval Silk Road town on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The town is ringed by orchards and dachas, and in spring and autumn many families are busy on their plots.
At weekends people from Almaty pass through on their way to the Talgar gorge, and the cafes along the mountain road come to life.
In Talgar men get back from Almaty late and want a haircut close to home. The agent offers the evening slots and Saturday morning before they are taken.

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. The agent checks how many people and which services, and looks for a time when enough chairs are free. One confirmation covers everyone.
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 customers come out from Almaty?
Yes. The agent explains how to reach you from Almaty and picks a time that allows for the drive. If a customer is stuck in traffic, they write in the same chat and the agent tells your staff.
How do I connect the agent?
Sign up, connect the barbershop’s WhatsApp and Instagram, and add your barbers, services and prices. The first 7 days are free with no card, and in that time the agent will answer real clients.
