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
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
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.

Passes the tricky ones to you

Frequently asked questions
Will the agent reply to a client in Kazakh?
Yes. If a client writes “Salem, anything free today?”, the agent understands both the Kazakh greeting and the Russian question and answers the way the client prefers.
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.
Can people book after their shift?

How do I connect the agent?
