SMS for barbershops · the original NotifyGrid customer

Fill the chair. Not the inbox.

Tony Touch Barbershop in Kissimmee has sent one Friday text a week since 2016. Monday is booked by lunch. This is the tool he uses, and it costs $5 to find out if it works for your shop.

§ 01 · The problem

Thursday at 2pm, three empty chairs.

Your regulars would come in today. They just don't know you have room.

You know the feeling. The morning was packed, then it dies. Two barbers on their phones, a chair with nobody in it, and forty regulars within ten minutes of the shop who'd happily come by if someone told them right now was a good time.

Instagram won't reach them. The algorithm shows your post to twelve people, nine of whom aren't local. A text reaches every single one, and they read it in about three minutes.

That's the whole idea. One message, everyone on your list, replies back to you. No marketing degree required.

Every one of these takes under a minute to write and 4 seconds to send.

§ 03 · How barbers use it

Three jobs. One text each.

No campaign builder. No funnels. Just the message and the people it goes to.

Fill the gaps

Empty chair, one text.

The moment a cancellation opens a slot, text the list. Whoever replies first gets it. Tony fills most gaps in under ten minutes.

Bring them back

The regular who drifted.

Every shop has clients who haven't been in since spring. One "been a minute, chair's waiting" text brings a surprising number of them back that week.

Announce

New hours, new barber, new price.

Anything you'd tape to the mirror, text instead. Holiday hours, a new hire, a price change. Everyone knows in seconds.

§ 04 · How it works

Three steps. Five minutes.

If you can text a friend, you can do this.

01

Bring your customer list

Import the numbers you already have. Unlimited contacts on every plan, so the whole client book fits.

02

Write one message

Plain text, your words. Use {first_name} and it fills in each person's name automatically.

03

Hit send, read the replies

Everyone gets it in seconds. When they text back, it lands in your NotifyGrid inbox, not a shared phone.

§ 05 · Questions

Before you sign up.

The ones barbers ask most.

How many clients can I add?

Unlimited, on every plan. Your limit is texts sent per month, not the size of your list. Import the whole client book.

Can my clients text me back?

Yes. Replies land in your NotifyGrid inbox, so "YES 3:30" shows up next to the client's name instead of on a shared shop phone.

Is texting clients legal?

Yes, when they've given you their number and you're texting about your own shop. Every message includes an opt-out, and NotifyGrid handles STOP automatically. See our TCPA notes in the Terms.

Fill the chair. Write the text.

Bring your client list. Send your first blast this afternoon. Five bucks, no contract.
