For barbers
Keep cutting. The front desk runs itself.
Price each chair by who's in it, put your regulars on a standing slot, and fill a cancellation before the afternoon goes quiet.
Meanwhile, in the shop
A no-show on a Friday.
That slot was the rent
Tuesday, one chair busy.
Nobody got asked in
A DM at 11pm.
Answered after the cut
A price per chair, a slot that stays his.
And the cancellation offered before the afternoon goes quiet.

How the work around the cut gets handled.
The work between cuts is what fills the chair tomorrow.
The chair
Every chair has its own price
A skin fade is A$55 with your master barber, A$45 with a senior and A$30 with the apprentice, who also gets fifteen minutes longer for it. One service, a tier per chair, and the booking page quotes whoever the client picks.
Standing slots
The 8am Thursday stays his
Put a regular on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly repeat and Magic books the series ahead. If one date clashes with something already in the book it is dropped and named, so the other twenty-five still land.
Gaps
A cancellation gets offered, not discounted
A hole in today's book goes to a short list of regulars already due, never the whole book, and never inside four hours. No money comes off unless you choose it: availability only is the default, with a complimentary extra, 10% or $20 off there if you want them.
The takings
Chair rent, commission, tips
Each barber is commission-only, hourly, salaried or a mix, with a different cut on retail than on services and tips tracked separately. They clock in and out, and the payout is worked from what actually went through the chair.
The shop
A day of fades, and the regular who's due.
An empty chair still charges you rent.
One normal Tuesday in the shop.
One normal Tuesday, handled between cuts.
Magic drafts, you approve
Hi Marcus, a 2pm just opened up today if you want to get in before the weekend. Want me to hold it?
The shop
Fast hands, full chair.
Back to back, all day
Answers before you ask.
Can each barber charge a different price?
Yes. Put a service on tiered pricing and write your own tier names - master, senior, apprentice - then assign barbers to each. A tier can carry its own duration too, so the apprentice gets forty-five minutes for the fade a master does in thirty. The booking page quotes whoever the client picks.
Can I put a regular on a standing appointment?
Yes, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Magic books the series ahead. If one date clashes with something already in the book that occurrence is dropped and named, and the rest still land; a closed day or an after-hours slot is booked anyway and named, because sometimes that is what you meant.
Can I still take walk-ins?
Yes. Walk-ins are logged as manual bookings, so the cut that started at the door still lands on his record and counts towards his usual gap.
How does it fill a cancellation without discounting the shop?
It offers the opening to a short list of regulars already due - never the whole book - and never inside four hours for a precise slot. The default offer is availability only, with a complimentary extra, 10% or $20 off available if you choose one.
Does it text my clients without asking me?
AI replies and follow-up drafts wait for your approval, including the audience for a gap offer. Reminders and the other automations you switch on send on their own, using the messages, channels and timing you set - by SMS or email only.
Can it handle commission and chair rent?
Yes. Each barber is commission-only, hourly, salaried or a mix, with a separate rate for retail and for services, tips tracked as their own kind, and a tier ladder if a bigger month earns a bigger cut. They clock in and out, and the payout is worked from what went through the chair.
What does it cost to move?
It's free to join, no card needed. For the first 100 businesses, setup and migration are done for you end to end, and your client list stays yours.
A shop is not one calendar.
Four barbers on four different deals, all sharing a front door.
One flat book
Same price, same chair, one pot
Every cut costs the same whoever does it, standing clients get rebooked by memory, and at the end of the week you work out who earned what on paper.
Magic
A chair each, and the numbers to match
A price tier per barber, standing appointments booked ahead, gaps offered to the chair that needs them, and the payout worked from what went through each chair.
For the chair
Keep the chair full, hands free.
Your regulars, their usual gap and their rebooks are moved across and set up for you before your first cut on Magic.
Two answers. No card, and nothing moves until you say so.
No hidden charges
One flat price for the whole business. No commission on your bookings, and no extra charge for each person on your team.
No juggling five platforms
Booking, calendar, client records, deposits, payments, messages and follow-ups are one system, not a stack you hold together.
No move to manage
For the first 100 businesses we move your clients, bookings, history and notes across ourselves, free, and check it with you before day one.
