6 Guys Booked. One Flakes

Yes. Etisia sends SMS only to clients who have explicitly consented. CASL and PIPEDA regulations require clear consent, which we obtain at booking. We also provide easy opt-out mechanisms. SMS is the most compliant reminder method.

No. Etisia syncs with Google Calendar. Clients book however they want. Appointment hits your calendar. Etisia sends SMS automatically. One-minute setup.

SMS confirmations 24 hours before let you know exactly who's coming. Book 60–70% of capacity, reserve 30–40% for walk-ins. If an appointment cancels, you have buffer. If walk-ins are slow, text your waitlist. SMS gives you predictability.

Yes. Every time. "Your fade with Marcus" builds the barber-client relationship. Clients choose barbers, not shops. Personal touches increase show-up rates and loyalty.

No. Etisia works with the way clients actually book — phone calls, texts, walk-ins, DMs — whatever. You just create the appointment in Google Calendar, and Etisia sends reminders automatically. No new dashboard. Your calendar stays the single source of truth.

Setup takes about 60 seconds. Connect Google Calendar, pick your message templates, and you're live. After that, it's "set & forget": create an event like you always do, and Etisia automatically sends SMS reminders — no extra steps.

Clients receive an automated reminder before the appointment, a one-tap cancellation link (so they don't ghost), and optionally a post-appointment review prompt. Etisia won't blast people at 2 AM: reminders respect quiet hours and time zones, and late-night bookings get rescheduled to morning so clients aren't disturbed.

Etisia uses smart contact matching: it reads the event title, finds the matching contact, and pulls the phone number — even if the name isn't written perfectly. You can also manage and import contacts so your list stays clean and consistent.
