Voicemail Greetings
Professional Voicemail Greetings for Barbers
When you have a razor against a client's neck or the clippers running, you cannot stop to answer the phone. Every missed call is a potential $35 haircut or $50 hot towel shave going to the shop down the street. Use these scripts to look professional and keep your chair full even when you are busy behind the station.
Standard Business Hours
Use this when you are in the shop but currently behind the chair with a client.
Thanks for calling the shop. I am currently behind the chair and focused on a cut, so I cannot grab the phone right now. If you are looking to book a haircut or beard trim, the fastest way is through our online booking link in our Instagram bio. Otherwise, leave your name and number and I will call you back during my next break between fades. Talk soon.
Tips for this scenario
- -Mention your online booking link immediately to reduce the number of messages you have to return.
- -Keep the background quiet so clients do not hear loud clippers or music while you are recording.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Recording with loud clippers or shop music in the background, making it hard to hear.
!Not mentioning your online booking link or Instagram handle for faster service.
!Having a full mailbox so new customers cannot leave their contact info.
!Using a generic 'leave a message' greeting that doesn't sound like a professional barber.
!Forgetting to update your holiday hours, leading to frustrated customers showing up to a locked door.
