Reminders
A confirmation with a calendar invite the moment they book, and a reminder before the appointment. Cancel the booking and the reminder cancels itself.
A confirmation, with a calendar invite
The moment a booking is made the customer gets a confirmation carrying the shop’s name, the barber, the service, the time and the price, with a calendar file attached, so the appointment lands in their phone instead of an inbox they will not read again.
A reminder before the appointment
Sent on your schedule. There is good independent evidence this works: across seven randomised trials covering 6,615 people, text reminders raised attendance from 67.8% to 78.6%. That research is from healthcare, not barbering, so treat it as the reason reminders help and not as a promise about your shop.
Cancel the booking and the reminder cancels itself
Enforced in the database, not by the app remembering to do it. A reminder for an appointment that is not happening is the most embarrassing message a booking product can send, and it should not depend on every code path getting it right.
You can always find out what was sent
Every message is a record before it is an email and stays one afterwards, with the address it went to, the subject, the body and the delivery result. When a customer says they never got it, you have an answer instead of a shrug.
The rest of it
Booking Page
Your name, your colour, your hours, your address with directions, your Instagram. Send the link, put it in your bio, or drop two lines into the site you already have.
Daily Diary
A column per chair, hour by hour. Tap a booking to mark it done, take a walk-in, or drag it to a new time. Works on the phone in your pocket.
Deposits & Payments
Take a deposit or the full price when they book. Cards handled by Stripe, paid straight into your account. We never hold your money.
Rotas & Holidays
Two-week rotas, one-off changes, and a chair renter’s own hours. Irish bank holidays are already in, and a closed sign goes up when you are away.
Reports
Seven numbers you would act on. Takings, who earned them, what sells, no-shows, your busiest hours, new against returning, and the hours a chair sat empty.
Waitlist
When a booking is cancelled, the slot is held for the first person in your queue and offered to them by text and email.
Loyalty Cards
Stamps are added automatically after every visit, and the reward applies itself at the next booking. Nothing to scan and nothing to hand out.
Product Shop
Sell your products on your booking page. Paid for online, collected in the shop, so there is no packing, no courier and no delivery date to promise.
Gift Cards
Sold from your booking page at any hour, paid straight into your account, and valid for the five years Irish law requires.
Your Website
A full website on your own address: hero photo, your story, your reviews, opening hours, a map, and a Book now button on every screen. Included in every plan.
Photo Gallery
Your best cuts on your homepage and on a page of their own. Upload from a phone and we handle the cropping, sizing and loading.
Google Reviews
One polite ask after each visit, sent to everyone, the way Google’s rules require. Anyone unhappy reaches you privately first.
Winback
FreshTrim learns how often each customer comes in and tells you the day somebody is overdue. Bring them back in one tap.
Chair Manager
Every renter gets a weekly statement built from real bookings: takings, rent due, and the cuts behind both, so the number is the same on both sides of the counter.
