TIMES RAFA PUT DOWN THE CLIPPERS

How the hours are counted: every booking used to cost about 9 messages at 3 minutes of stop-and-start each, roughly 27 minutes off the chair. Now the client picks a held time in about 45 seconds and Rafa taps nothing. We only count bookings that actually happened this week, and money recovered is deposits kept or slots refilled after a cancel.

SAME ENGINE, OTHER CHAIRS

SIX MORE TRADES. SAME RULES, OWN QUIRKS.

THE WHOLE THING, START TO FINISH

ONE MESSAGE IN. ONE BOOKING OUT.

  1. 1 · THE MESSAGE
    “Oye Rafa, ¿hay espacio el viernes después de las 5?”

    It lands on Instagram while Rafa is mid-fade. He screenshots it into the inbox later, or it never touches his hands at all.

  2. 2 · THE HOLD
    FRI 6:00 PM HELD · 20:00

    Two Mirrors reads the ask in Spanish or English, checks the one chair, holds the two closest times and writes the reply for Rafa.

  3. 3 · THE TAP
    YOU'RE BOOKED

    The client taps once. No app, no account, no back-and-forth. A ticket with the honest time, the address and a reminder.

BOOK A REAL CUT
90-SECOND WALKTHROUGH
A MESSAGE AT 2:14 PM.
A BOOKED CHAIR AT 2:15.

Walk it yourself in the same time it takes to watch it: send the ask, take the held time, then open the owner view and watch the ticket, the reminder and the ledger line appear.
