Empty chair. New opportunity.

Cancellations happen.
Empty chairs don’t have to.

CutCue connects last-minute barbershop gaps with locals looking for a cut today. Keep your usual price. Pay only when we bring in at least two customers who show up and pay that month.

Three independent shops. One busy suburb. A hands-on pilot.

CutCue hero

One text gets it moving

“3:30, fade, $45.”

Our promise.
Not a testimonial.

Your usual prices

Opt-in customer alerts

Real bookings, clearly tracked

Less chasing. More cutting.

Your next customer might be around the corner.

Your own waitlist only reaches people who already know you. CutCue’s shared neighbourhood list is designed to reach locals looking for any nearby barber with space today.

Built for the “Can you fit me in today?” crowd.

Missed a slot? Customers can opt in for the next alert instead of starting the search again.

01

Text the gap. We do the legwork.

Send the time, service and price. We manually add your empty slot to the neighbourhood’s live list during the pilot.

02

One link. A wider local audience.

Customers who opted in get an alert. They can claim the slot or forward it to a mate. You get a useful link to share on Instagram, too.

03

Count real cuts, not clicks.

See which bookings came through CutCue. Only customers who turn up and pay count towards your monthly billing threshold.

One pilot offer. No guesswork.

We fill chairs.
Then we earn our fee.

We’re starting small to test something specific: can a shared local list fill genuinely empty slots? Your bill depends on the answer.

Neighbourhood pilot

NZ$29/ qualifying month

Pay only in months when CutCue fills at least two slots with customers who show up and pay.

Zero or one qualifying booking? No monthly fee. Two or more? NZ$29 for that month. You keep charging your usual service prices.
