Barbershop Website in Bistrița: See Booking Through Your Client's Eyes
Between Bistrița and Cluj there's a road many young people from Bistrița travel every Friday and Sunday: they study or work there and come home for the weekend. You feel it straight away at the barbershop. On Thursday evening they message you from Cluj saying they'd drop by on Saturday morning, and you reply between clients, never quite sure who asked first. Meanwhile, some of the people who stayed in town work from home for companies elsewhere and have a far more flexible day than any client with office hours.
The MPO Web Studio team works on exactly this kind of site, with online booking, for Bistrița's barbershops, traditional barbers and hair salons. And before we talk about money, we show you for free, on your salon's mockup, what booking looks like for your client.

Booked from Cluj, for a Saturday at home
The student or young employee in Cluj plans the weekend ahead: when to leave, who to see, what to sort out at home. A haircut with their barber in Bistrița is on the list, but they can't walk past the shop to see whether there's a queue. If they message you and the answer arrives when they're already on the road, Saturday morning is gone and they get their hair cut in Cluj after all; you've lost a regular without ever finding out. On a website with booking, they pick a Friday evening or Saturday slot themselves, from the dorm or the office, with the service they want, and arrive home with the haircut already in your diary. Your weekend fills up in order, without an entire evening of messages.
Tuesday morning, for people who work from home
Someone who works from home for a company in Cluj, Bucharest or abroad doesn't need the end-of-day slot. They have an online meeting at ten and another at two, and in between they could drop by. But they have no way of knowing that at many barbershops midweek mornings are the quieter hours, because people with fixed schedules come in the evening. A website that clearly shows open days and slots gives them precisely the information that puts them in your chair. You fill your Tuesday and Wednesday gaps, they avoid the Friday rush, and the salon's diary evens out without discounts or announcements.
Booking, seen from your client's side
You may be wondering whether your clients in Bistrița would really book on their own or get stuck halfway. There's no need to guess. We prepare your website's mockup at no cost, carrying your shop's name and your services, on the model you can already open at /demo/beauty. You go through it exactly like a client: tap “Book an appointment”, choose what you want, which day and what time, and the request goes out on WhatsApp, already written, with no account and no password. You see for yourself where someone might hesitate and tell us what needs simplifying. If it convinces you, the cost starts at €290, and your site goes live a few days after you approve the mockup; you get one round of revisions and a warranty valid for 7 days from launch.
Frequently asked questions
I want Saturday bookings to close on Friday evening so I know in good time what the day looks like. Is that possible?+
Yes. We set a cut-off: from a certain hour the day before, the next day's slots can no longer be booked on the website. On Saturday morning you open the salon with the full list, knowing who you're expecting and when you have a break. Anyone who still wants to come at the last minute can contact you directly, and you decide whether to fit them in.
Many people message me about Saturday from the road, on the bus from Cluj, where the signal comes and goes. Does booking still work?+
Yes, because it's short: the service, the day, the time, a name and a number, with no account and no password. The request goes out through WhatsApp, which sends it on its own once the signal returns, so the client doesn't have to start over after every stretch without coverage. If you need an extra detail, such as hair length for colouring, we add it as an optional question, not as an obstacle.
Can I open extra hours in the week before Christmas, when everyone comes home?+
Yes. You add the extra slots to the diary, for example earlier mornings or a Sunday, and they appear on the website as free, ready to book. You can also put a short notice on the home page so students in Cluj and those coming from further away learn in good time that you have extended hours. After the holidays you go back to your usual schedule with a single setting.
Can I send the mockup to a loyal client so he can tell me whether he managed on his own?+
Of course. The mockup is just a link, and any phone can open it, so you can send it to whoever you like. Ask him to make a test booking and tell you where he stopped or what puzzled him. Feedback like that, from someone who actually walks through your door, is worth more than any assumption, ours or yours.
