How it works

SnapMyCut is a consultation and booking desk for barbershops. Every shop on it texts from one number, (866) 426-0355.

  1. Text the shop

    Text the shop's code, like FADEHOUSE, to (866) 426-0355. No code? Text the shop's ZIP code, like 60622, and pick it from the list. If you've texted another shop before, send SHOPS first. Or scan the QR code at your barber's chair.

  2. Send a selfie and the cut you want

    Use your own words, like “low fade”, “chin-length bob” or “taper, keep my curls”. If you have a photo of a cut you like, send that too.

  3. Get your preview, then pick a time

    The preview comes back in the same thread, and your barber gets it too. Book, change or cancel by text or on the web.

How you start getting texts

A shop only texts you after you text it first, or after you ask your barber in person to invite you.

Text the shop

Text (866) 426-0355 with the shop's code and your barber's, like FADEHOUSE Hi #SARAH, or just the shop's code and pick who's cutting. No code? We ask which shop, and you reply with its name or ZIP code.

Scan the QR at the chair

It opens your barber's page. Tap Text Sarah to open a text that's already filled in, then press send. Or chat on the web instead.

Ask your barber to invite you

Your barber can send you one invite text, only after you say yes in person. Nothing else comes unless you reply.

The first reply says who's texting

Every shop's first text to you starts like this:

The consult is done before the chair

Barbers get the selfie, the reference, the preview and the client's own words.

A queue on your phone

Walk-ins and bookings in one list, and a reminder to the client before every appointment.
