Braiders and barbers

Free listing for braiders and barbers, with bookings made on WhatsApp

Somebody moves to a new city and the first genuinely urgent question is who can do their hair properly. They ask a group chat, they search, and they book whoever answers with pictures of work they recognise.

List your hair business

Free to list. No account, no card, and no commission on anything you sell.

Start to finish

  1. One short form

    What you do, where you work from, your WhatsApp number. No account and no card, and nothing to renew.

  2. A page showing your work

    We build and host it at its own web address. You do not need a website for this and it takes nothing away from your Instagram.

  3. Clients message you

    A tap opens WhatsApp. Reference photos, length, timing and the deposit conversation all happen in one place, which is where they were going anyway.

Free to list, and no commission on a single appointment. Booking platforms take a percentage; we hold no money at all, so we cannot.

The commission is the thing worth reading twice

On a booking platform a slice of every appointment goes elsewhere. Here nothing does, because there is no payment code in the product to take it with.

  • No commission on anything you sell
  • Free to list, with nothing to pay later

Photos of the work do the deciding before anybody types a word.

Your gallery decides it

Nobody books from a description. They look at knotless, at a fade, at a finish, and they decide in seconds. A page keeps that work findable next month rather than buried in old stories.

  • Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
  • Your own page with its own web address
  • A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group

Term dates and weddings do most of the work

Students arriving in September, half terms, and the wedding and christening season all put whole families in a chair inside the same fortnight, booked a week or two ahead by message. The slots go to whoever could be found when people started asking.

Ratings and short reviews come from customers, not from the business.

Let the last client speak

Ratings and a few honest words from somebody who has sat in your chair carry further than anything you could write about yourself.

  • Customers can leave a rating and a review
  • Every listing is checked before it goes live
  • A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you

Be the answer when somebody new asks the group

A free page, one short form, no commission, and clients message you directly.

Questions

I work from home rather than a salon.

That is fine and very common. Your page shows your area and your category.

Do you take a cut of my bookings?

No. There is no commission and no way for us to take one.

Is this instead of Instagram?

No. Instagram reaches people who already follow you. This is for the person searching your category in your area.

Can I change my photos later?

Yes, your listing can be updated.

I am a plumber, electrician or heating engineer. Can I list?

Yes, and the trades are some of the most searched work on here. Plumbing, electrical work, boiler and heating engineering, gas work, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning all list the same way, free and with no commission. Your registrations, your qualifications and your insurance stay exactly as they were: a listing is none of those things and never presents itself as one.
