What the agent takes off your hands
Books with his usual barber
Knows how long a haircut, a beard trim or grey blending takes and books without overlaps. If the barber someone wants is busy all evening, it offers another barber or tomorrow morning.
Quotes prices
Knows your price list: men’s and kids’ cuts, beard trims, shaves, packages. Answers at once, even when every barber is at a chair.
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
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.
Zharkent: local context
The centre of Panfilov District in Zhetysu Region, in the Ili valley, not far from the Chinese border and the Khorgos crossing.
The town is known for its historic mosque, where a Chinese master blended Chinese and Central Asian architecture; today it houses a museum.
Life here is tied to the border: the Khorgos dry port and trade zone are nearby, and many locals work in trade and transport.
The Uyghur community here is large, and Uyghur is heard on the streets alongside Kazakh and Russian.
In Zharkent a barber often works alone, and the phone sits on the shelf all day. The agent answers clients itself, so the barber does not have to put the clippers down.

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?
The agent does not argue or promise anything on your behalf. The conversation goes to your front desk or the owner with its history, and the agent tells the client a person will be in touch.
Is it worth it for a team of two or three?
Yes. In Zharkent the same people often serve customers and answer the messengers. The agent takes over the chats, so work no longer stops for replies.
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.
