Built for Dunedin barbers
Student flats around North Dunedin mean a lot of clients within walking distance of shops in the centre and up George Street. Sharing your booking link on social media, where students already look, is often the quickest way to fill a quiet afternoon.
Barbers in North Dunedin and the central city see students all through semester, many of them cutting every few weeks and booking late at night from their flat. Flatmates often come in together, and orientation, the mid-year ball and the end-of-year events bring short, sharp rushes. Over summer the student suburbs go quiet and the trade shifts to permanent residents, tradies and families from the hill suburbs and Mosgiel.
Many Dunedin barbers are students themselves, working around lectures, so each barber's week can change every semester. BookAndGo lets each barber set their own working days and hours inside the shop's, so clients only see the times each barber is actually in. Fixed start times keep the shop on schedule and a minimum booking notice stops a booking that starts too soon.
Regulars can hold a repeating booking, and the shop closes for public holidays and Otago Anniversary Day if it takes them.
Dunedin's permanent population leans older and more settled than the student suburbs suggest, especially in Mosgiel, the Peninsula and the hill suburbs, and those clients book a set time every three or four weeks. Highlanders home games and concerts at Forsyth Barr Stadium bring Friday rushes, and the end-of-year events before students leave fill the last weeks of semester.
Frequently asked
Can students book without making an account?
Yes. Clients book from your booking page with no account to create, and manage their booking from the link in their email.
Our barbers are students too. Can each one work around their own lectures?
Yes. Each barber has their own calendar with their own working week and days off, inside the shop's opening hours, so the roster can follow the timetable.
Flatmates often come in together every few weeks. Can they rebook in one go?
Yes. Each client can make a repeating booking on a regular cycle, and every cut becomes its own appointment you can move if plans change.
Most of our clients find us on Instagram. Can they book from there?
Yes. Put your booking page link in your Instagram bio and add the booking button to your website, so a client goes from your latest post to a confirmed time.
Our barbers' hours change every semester. Is it easy to update?
Yes. Each barber's working week is set on their own calendar, and changing it updates the booking page straight away.
Summer is quiet. Can we shorten our hours for December and January?
Yes. Set one-off special hours for those weeks, or block the days you will not open.
Can Mosgiel clients keep the same time every month?
Yes. A repeating booking holds the same time on their cycle, and each cut can be moved on its own.
