Julio’s toy town: a high street of salons, a barber’s and a clinic

Marketing and reception for barbers

Most people pick a barber because it’s close, it’s open and the cuts on Instagram look right. Julio builds a site that shows all three, keeps your hours right everywhere and replies while you’ve got clippers in your hand.

What gets in the way

  • The phone goes mid-fade, so you either stop the cut or miss the customer.

  • Walk-ins can’t see the wait, turn up to a queue and leave.

  • Saturday no-shows leave empty chairs you could have filled from the queue.

How it works

Your website, marketing and receptionist, in one.

  1. 01 · Website

    A new website, built and live in 48 hours

    Julio reads your old site, Google profile and Instagram, then builds a site with today’s hours, your price list and each barber’s cuts. Text “closing at 2pm on Christmas Eve” and your site and Google both change.

  2. 02 · Marketing

    Found on Google, AI search and Instagram

    Every week Julio writes a page for what people nearby search, like skin fades or kids’ cuts, keeps your Google hours right and turns your best fades into reels. One tap from you and each goes out.

    How people look for you

    • “barbers near me”
    • “barbers open now”
    • “skin fade [town]”
    • “beard trim near me”
    Julio · this week
    • “Skin fades in [town]”: prices, how long it takes and which barbers do it
    • “Kids’ haircuts in [town]”: quiet times and how you look after nervous children
    • A short fade reel, start to finish, with the customer’s OK (a parent’s for under-18s)

    Every call and enquiry answered

    When someone calls or messages mid-cut, Julio answers in seconds as your shop, tells them the walk-in wait or books a chair with their barber. Then it texts you their name and the time they’re coming in.

    Replies to every enquiry: on Julio. Calls, messages and bookings: on Julio + Receptionist.

    JulioExample

    Do you take walk-ins today?

    JulioWe do, until 4pm, but Saturdays get busy. Kev has a chair at 12:20 if you’d rather book. Want it?

    Can I get my usual with Kev on Friday after work?

    JulioKev has Friday at 5:30pm. Shall I put you in? If an earlier chair frees up, I’ll text you.

Questions

Questions barbers ask

I mostly take walk-ins. Is a website worth it?

Yes, because people check you’re open and what the cuts look like before they walk over. Julio keeps your hours, prices and photos right on your site and Google.

Does it work with Booksy?

Yes. Your Book button goes to your Booksy link, so bookings land in the diary you already use.

Can Julio answer the phone while I’m cutting?

That’s Julio + Receptionist (£349 a month), which answers calls, takes messages and books customers into a chair. Julio on its own (£249 a month) texts back any call you miss.

Can I post photos of kids’ haircuts?

Only with a parent’s permission, which Julio records. Julio won’t post a child’s photo without it.

Will Julio say we’re the best barbers in town?

Not unless you can prove it. Julio sticks to what’s true: your cuts, your prices, your hours and real reviews.

The rules Julio follows for barbers

  • No “best barber” or “award-winning” claims without evidence (CAP Code 3.7)
  • Every photo with the customer’s OK, and under-18s only with a parent’s consent (UK GDPR)
  • Rebooking texts only to past customers, with an opt-out in every one (PECR)
