Pricing Inquiry Scripts
Pricing Inquiry Response Scripts for Barbers
When you have a straight razor in one hand and a client in the chair, you cannot stop to answer the phone every five minutes. These scripts help you quickly provide pricing for fades, beard trims, and shaves so you can book the client and get back to your clippers. Using professional responses ensures you value your craft while respecting the customer's time.
Standard Haircut Inquiry
Use this when a caller simply asks how much you charge for a basic cut.
Thanks for calling the shop! Our standard precision haircut is $35. This includes a consultation, a tailored cut to fit your head shape, and a straight razor finish on the neck for that clean look. I have a couple of openings left for this afternoon if you want to grab one. Does 2:00 PM or 4:30 PM work better for you?
Tips for this scenario
- -Always mention the straight razor finish as it separates you from cheap franchise shops.
- -Give them two specific time slots immediately to close the booking faster.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone while the clippers are running, which makes it hard for the customer to hear you.
!Not asking for the customer's name at the start of the pricing inquiry.
!Giving a single price without explaining the value or the 'extras' like the neck shave.
!Forgetting to offer a specific appointment time immediately after giving the price.
!Sounding annoyed or rushed when someone calls during a busy Saturday shift.
