Barbershop and Hair Salon Website in Alexandria, with Free Slots Sized to Every Service
Alexandria was founded in 1834 on the banks of the Vedea, to the plans of the Austrian engineer Moritz von Ott, and it bears the name of Prince Alexandru Dimitrie Ghica. That plan is still visible today: long, straight streets crossing at right angles. In barbershops, the working day is rarely laid out so well. A man walks in at the agreed time and spends half an hour on the waiting chair, because the cut before his took longer than the notebook said.
At MPO Web Studio we make websites for the barbershops, barbers and hair salons of Alexandria where the free slots fit the chosen service, and the booked time is the time you actually start working. The mockup, made in your salon's name, is free.

A town drawn with a ruler, a working day divided by guesswork
Alexandria's streets were drawn on paper before the houses existed, each with its own length and place, and the town grew without tangling itself in its own roads. In many barbershops the working day is done the other way round: in the notebook, every client gets the same half hour, whether he comes for a ten-minute outline or for a cut with beard and hot towel. On paper the day looks tidy; in the chair, the outline leaves gaps nobody fills, and the beard pushes the rest of the day later. When each service gets its real length in the diary, the day can be planned the way the town was: in advance, with every piece in its place.
Mornings bring the pensioners, and their haircut doesn't fit into twenty minutes
In Alexandria, many of the people in the barber's chair are older, with habits kept for years. On weekday mornings, many of those who walk in are pensioners: they sit down and get up more slowly, they want the nape cleaned with a razor and the eyebrows trimmed, they pay with counted cash and don't leave without a few words. A classic cut that takes you twenty minutes in the evening, on a young man in a hurry, easily fills half an hour or more in the morning. If the diary gives the same figure all day, the delay piles up from the first hours and is paid for in the afternoon by the man coming straight from work. On the website, weekday mornings can have sparser slots and evenings denser ones, so each part of the day gets the time its clients need.
Free slots, measured by the chosen service
On the website we make for your salon in Alexandria, a free slot isn't the same for everyone. Someone choosing an outline also sees the short gaps between two clients; someone choosing a cut with beard and hot towel sees only the slots where three quarters of an hour fit; someone who wants colouring or a wedding hairstyle finds whole mornings, not a quarter of an hour left free by chance. You set the minutes for each service yourself, the way you work, including getting the chair ready for the next client. That way nobody squeezes a long job into a gap that's too short, and the day ends at the time you closed it. The mockup, with your services and your minutes, is free, and you can lay it beside the example at mpowebstudio.com/demo/beauty. If it suits you, the cost starts at €290 and publication follows a few days later, with a single round of revisions and a 7-day warranty included.
Frequently asked questions
A client books just a haircut, then asks for his beard as well once he's in the chair. What do I do about the person after him?+
You check the diary to see how long you have until the next one. If the gap is big enough, you do the beard there and then; if not, you offer him a time for the beard right away and book it together, from your phone, before he gets out of the chair. To make this happen less often, the website lists cut with beard as a separate service, with the two durations added up, so whoever chooses it from home gets a slot where both fit from the start. The man who comes after him walks in at his own time and never learns about the extra beard.
My colleague and I don't work at the same pace. Can we have different durations for the same service?+
Yes. Each barber has his own diary, and the same fade can take three quarters of an hour with you and less with your colleague. The client sees the duration of the barber he chooses, and nobody is pushed to work faster than suits them. It's fairer to the client, and to the two of you, than a single figure for the whole salon.
Some older clients have children who moved to Bucharest or further away. Can they book for them from there?+
Yes. The booking asks only for a name and a number, so the son enters his father's name and his own number, and in an optional notes line he can write what you should know: that his father comes accompanied, or that he wants just a cut, no beard. You send the confirmation to the number in the request, and he tells his father the time. For someone whose parents live in Teleorman while he works far away, it's one worry sorted during a lunch break, without phone calls passed along through relatives.
In summer, grandparents bring me the grandchildren who've come to Alexandria for the holidays. A child's haircut sometimes takes me ten minutes, sometimes half an hour. How do I put it in the diary?+
With the longer duration, stated openly: for the little ones you leave time so you don't rush them. Parents prefer that to a tight slot, and if you finish sooner, you have a few minutes for a coffee or for a client who turned up early. You can also put children's cuts only in the quieter hours, so a busy day doesn't hang on the patience of a five-year-old.
