What is Nearcut?
Nearcut allows you to book an appointment with your barber, online, any time, from anywhere in a matter of seconds. You can book from your phone, PC or tablet - putting an end to queueing, an end to waiting and an end to being put on hold. Nearcut provides websites and apps for premium barbers.
To book in, simply log-on to the barber’s website or app, select your day and time, your barber and your haircut. You'll receive a reminder before your appointment, you just turn up and you're straight in the chair! Nearcut also has an app on the App and Play stores, where you can see your nearest barbers, whether they have an appointment and where you can book in. To download the Nearcut app, search for ‘Nearcut’ on the App store.
A few of Nearcut's handy features are:
-
Email and SMS reminders - surely one of the most user friendly aspects of nearcut would be the text and email reminders. It’s a really handy feature which means you don’t need to worry about writing down appointments. Nearcut will remind you on the day, well in advance.
-
Facebook integration - book directly through Facebook on your barber's page. At the top of your barbers facebook page you will see a Book Now button which will take you straight to the booking page.
-
Cancellation Watch - helping squeeze you in at short notice if there’s a cancellation. By selecting this box Nearcut will let you know as soon as your favourite barber has a cancellation.
-
Email and SMS updates - find out about special offers, opening times and promotions, straight from the barber
-
Online payments - some barber shops may allow you to pay for your haircuts online through nearcut, so no cash is required! A favourite with parents who don't want to send the kid's with cash.
A booking takes around 15 seconds once you have an account - more attractive than sitting in a queue for an hour or two on a Saturday morning!
Booking in at the barber shop is fast becoming the most popular way to get a haircut, especially with families and busy working people. Barber shop bookings free up time, the busy working person might only have a short window of opportunity in the day. Families may undergo the hassle of loading everyone into the car and out again, getting to the shop, now they can be ensured that when they arrive, they will be catered for on arrival.
Making a booking is also a very popular option for people who have a favourite barber. Barbers tend to make all their available time visible on Nearcut for clients to see. This means if they are visible then you can book. If they aren’t visible then they aren’t working or are fully booked. In which case it’s saved the hassle of a trip to the shop only to find out you can’t be accommodated at that time.
