The problem

You're busy. Your customers can't wait.

Every time you're cutting hair, training a client, or just off your phone — someone's messaging you. They want a quick answer. If they don't get one, they move on.

How it works

From enquiry to booking — automatically

Every time a customer messages, LocalFlow replies with your real prices and availability. No input needed from you.

1

Customer sends an enquiry

They text or email you — same as always. Maybe it's an evening message, a Sunday, a busy Saturday. They're asking about price or availability.

2

LocalFlow replies instantly — with your real prices

Your rate card is stored. The AI quotes your actual prices, not generic estimates. It checks your availability and responds in under 10 seconds.

3

Booking confirmed — you just show up

Every booking is logged and you're notified instantly. The customer gets a confirmation. Revenue recovered — no extra work from you.

The maths for a typical barber
3 missed enquiries a week × £35 each = £105/week lost. LocalFlow costs £29/month. That's less than the cost of one haircut to stop losing 10–12 a month.

Based on 3 missed enquiries/week at £35 average value. Your numbers will vary — but the principle holds. One extra booking a month covers the cost entirely.

Questions

Common questions, straight answers

Do I need any tech skills to set it up? +
None at all. You fill in a short form about your business — services, prices, hours, how you like to communicate — and LocalFlow does the rest. If you can text a customer, you can use this. Setup takes under 3 minutes.
Does it sound like a robot? +
No. LocalFlow uses the tone and language you tell it to use when you set up. If you want it casual and warm ("Hey! Yeah we've got Thursday free"), that's how it'll reply. If you want it professional, same deal. Customers routinely can't tell the difference.
What channels does it cover? +
Currently WhatsApp and email — the two channels where the vast majority of UK local business enquiries arrive. We're expanding to more channels. If a customer messages through either of these, LocalFlow has it covered.
What if a customer asks something LocalFlow can't answer? +
LocalFlow only answers questions it can answer based on what you've told it about your business. If something falls outside that, it tells the customer you'll be in touch — and forwards the message to you so you can follow up directly. It never makes things up.
Can I still reply to customers myself? +
Absolutely. LocalFlow handles the first response and the back-and-forth, but you can jump in at any time. Think of it as having someone handle the initial conversation so you only deal with the ones that need you specifically.
Is there a contract? What if I want to cancel? +
No contract, no commitment. Cancel any time, directly from your account. Your card is collected at signup but not charged for 7 days — you can cancel before day 8 and owe nothing.

Every missed message is a customer who went somewhere else

That ends today. LocalFlow replies in seconds, books them in, and follows up — while you're cutting hair, training clients, or just living your life.
