Let VantaPay answer your barbershop calls
Its AI picks up only while you're with a client and books the barber they ask for.
How it works
An incoming call on the Kings Barbershop line from Devon, mobile. Accept is pressed and the screen turns into the in-call screen, with Vanta on the line.
Your line rings. Vanta picks up
Busy with a client or closed for the night, your calls still get answered.
The in-call screen with Live Captions: Devon asks for a fade, Vanta checks the calendar, offers 6:30 PM, a «Booked» notification drops in and the call ends.
It talks, checks your calendar and books
You can read the call live, word by word, while it quotes the price and writes it in.
Fade · Devon drops into the calendar at 6:30, and the text «Kings Barbershop: Devon, your appointment is confirmed for tomorrow at 6:30 PM. Reply STOP to opt out.» arrives in Messages on the caller's phone.
On your calendar. Confirmed by text
The appointment lands in your day and the client gets the confirmation before they put the phone down.
What it does
- Only when you're busy
- Set it to answer only while you're with a client: it picks up while an appointment is in progress on your calendar. The rest of the time the call rings you, like always.
- The barber they ask for
- If they want Dre, it looks at Dre's hours. Each barber keeps his own schedule and his own days off.
- Your menu, out loud
- A new barbershop account comes with Regular Haircut at $30, Skin Fade at $35 and Haircut + Beard Trim at $40. It says the price before it books.
What it doesn’t do
It doesn't pretend to be a person. It won't squeeze someone into a slot that's taken, it doesn't move appointments, and the calls you mark for yourself go to you.
Questions
How do I answer the barbershop phone in the middle of a fade?
Let an AI answer it. Set it to pick up only while you're with a client; it books the barber they ask for, at a time that's really open.
Can it answer only when I can't?
Yes. Set it to answer only while an appointment is in progress, or only outside your hours to cover nights and your day off. When you're not with a client, the call rings you.
Does the client get a text?
While it books, it asks whether they want the confirmation and a reminder by text to that number. No yes, no text.
Does it work for a shop with several barbers?
Yes. A client books a barber, not the shop: it reads each barber's hours and offers that barber's open times. Prices are per service for the whole shop.
What does it cost for a barbershop?
Phone answering comes with the Solo plan ($14.99 a month) and every plan above it. There's no setup fee; minutes and the rest are on the pricing page.
Tomorrow's 'can I get a fade after work?' gets booked while you're lining someone up.
