WhatsApp booking assistant for barbers

Clients message your Maira WhatsApp number. Maira answers, quotes your prices and books them into your diary. Day and night, even mid-cut.

Try it free for 2 weeks

R100/month + R5 per booking Maira makes. No card needed.

You can't reply to WhatsApp with clippers in your hand

You stop mid-cut to reply. Every "you open Saturday?" means putting the clippers down and checking your book.

Slow replies lose bookings. A client who waits hours for an answer may go to another chair.

Evenings go to admin. You answer the day's messages after closing, one by one.

For solo barbers and barbershops that take bookings on WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. Sign up and add your services

    Add your prices, service times and working hours. It takes about 5 minutes.

  2. Share your Maira number

    We set up a dedicated WhatsApp number for your business. Send it to your clients with the link or QR code in the app.

  3. Maira takes the bookings

    Clients ask, Maira answers and books. Every booking it makes shows up in your diary in green.

What Maira does for you

  • Books. It offers real open slots from your diary and confirms the booking in the chat.
  • Moves and cancels. Clients can change or cancel their own booking by WhatsApp.
  • Sends reminders. Clients get a reminder 24 hours and 2 hours before their visit.
  • Tells you. You get a WhatsApp message for every booking and every cancel.
  • Answers questions. Prices, opening times, "anything free on Saturday?"
  • Sticks to your facts. Prices and open times come from your own service list and diary. Maira can't make them up.

Questions

Can a client book a cut and a beard trim together?

Yes. One booking can hold more than one service, and Maira books the time for all of them.

What about walk-ins?

Add walk-ins to your diary with just a name. Maira sees that time as taken and won't book over it.

Do my clients need an app?

No. Your clients use WhatsApp, which they already have. There is nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.

What number do my clients message?

A dedicated Maira WhatsApp number that we set up for your business. It is separate from your personal number, so you share it with your clients: on your status, in a broadcast, or with the QR code in the app.

How long does setup take?

Signing up takes about 5 minutes. Your WhatsApp number is usually ready the same day. Your 2 free weeks start when your number goes live.

Can Maira get a price or time wrong?

Prices and open slots come only from your service list and your diary. Maira can't invent them. You see every booking it makes in your diary.

Can I still take bookings myself?

Yes. Add bookings and block time off in your diary. Bookings you add yourself are free.

What happens to my clients' details?

We use them only to run your bookings and bill you. We never sell personal information. Under POPIA you can ask us to see, correct or delete it. Read the privacy policy.
