AI receptionist for barbershops in Zhanaozen
In Zhanaozen many men are used to walking in and waiting. The agent offers something easier: it names a free time at once, books it and sends a reminder, so nobody has to wait.
Hello! I’m off on a month’s rotation the day after tomorrow. Can I get a haircut tomorrow morning?
Hello! We open at 10:00 tomorrow, and Nurlan is free right then. A men’s haircut is 3,000 tenge and takes about forty minutes. Shall I book 10:00?
Yes, please.
Booked for tomorrow at 10:00, a men’s haircut with Nurlan. I’ll remind you in the morning.
Thanks a lot!
Have a good rotation! When you’re back, write here and I’ll book you in again.
When customers write in Zhanaozen
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
A father asks whether he can bring his son in today after lessons.
Lunch break: the price of a haircut with a beard trim and a free time tonight.
Messages from men just out of work who want a haircut within the hour.
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.

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
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
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.
Zhanaozen: local context
An oil town of Mangystau Region on the Mangyshlak Plateau, called Novy Uzen before it was renamed.
It was built for the Uzen and Karamandybas oil fields, and the large villages of Tenge and Rakhat have grown up beside it.
Families here are large, and a single chat often books several relatives at once.
The town runs to the schedule of the oil fields and drilling rigs, and the regional centre is far away, so people rarely travel for services and value what is close by.
In Zhanaozen many men work rotations and get a haircut on their first day home or the day before they leave. The agent books those days and sends a reminder if the visit falls on the morning before the journey.

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?
The agent checks the schedule and says honestly when the next barber is free. The client decides: come at that time with a booking or take a chance and 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 suit customers who work rotations?
Yes. Rotation workers write ahead as soon as they know when they are home. The agent books those days and sends a reminder the day before so the visit does not get lost.
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.
