# Social media for barbershops, without putting the clippers down

> Your best cuts walk out the door without a photo, and the ones you do photograph never get a caption. posthell writes the captions and the shop news from a quick note, and you approve while the next client settles in.

Barbers get booked on proof. A new client scrolls the shop's Instagram for the cut they want, checks the shop looks open and busy, then books or walks in. Keeping that feed alive takes captions, hours and shop news, written by people whose hands are full all day. posthell takes the writing: type a line between cuts, or tap the mic and say it, and it drafts a caption for the Instagram photo, another for the TikTok clip, and a Facebook post the neighborhood will see. You still tap approve before anything posts.

## One note becomes the week's posts

The owner's note: "marcus starts in the third chair monday, been cutting 8 years, does tapers and beard work, taking bookings now"

- Instagram draft: Marcus starts in the third chair on Monday. Eight years cutting, and he does tapers and beard work. His book is open now if you want to get in early.
- TikTok draft: New barber in the third chair: Marcus, eight years cutting, tapers and beard work. Starts Monday, taking bookings now.
- Facebook draft: Marcus joins the shop on Monday in the third chair. He's been cutting for eight years and does tapers and beard work. Who wants to be first in his chair?

Illustrative drafts. A user's drafts are written from their own note, in their voice, and nothing publishes until they approve it.

## What posthell handles

### Captions for the cuts you're proud of

You snap the fade before the client stands up; posthell writes the caption, a version per network, and schedules it. Name the cut in your note, like a skin fade or a burst taper, and the caption leads with it, since Instagram and TikTok search both read captions.

### Your booking link on every post

Save your booking link or phone number as a signature once and posthell adds it to every new post. Instagram captions don't make links tappable, so there your bio link does that job; on Facebook the signature is a real link people can tap.

### Slow afternoons and holiday hours

Chairs free right now on a slow Tuesday, or open late before the holidays: a quick note becomes a post on every network the moment you approve it. Holiday hours can be queued weeks ahead and publish on their own while you're cutting.

### New barbers, introduced properly

A new barber's first weeks depend on people knowing they've arrived. One note about who they are and what they cut becomes the intro post for each network, and you can schedule a follow-up for their second week in the same sitting.

## Frequently asked questions

### What should a barbershop post on social media?

Cuts first: clean photos or short clips of the work you want more of, with the style named so people searching for it find you. Then the shop news people need, like hours, holiday closures and a new barber starting.

### Should a barbershop post every haircut?

No. Post the cuts you want to be booked for, because people book what they see. If you're known for fades but want more beard work, let the feed lean that way. posthell writes the caption for whichever photos you choose, so picking them is the only judgment call left to you.

### Do barbers need to be on TikTok?

Not to stay busy. But short clips of a cut coming together suit TikTok, and it's one more place a new client might find you. If you're already filming for Instagram, posthell writes a separate TikTok caption from the same note, so being on both costs you no extra writing.

### What does it cost to run a barbershop's social media with posthell?

Solo is $12 a month ($10 billed yearly), Pro $24 ($18) and Assistant $49 ($37), each with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plans. If each barber wants their own Instagram connected next to the shop's, plans differ in how many accounts you can connect: 5 on Solo, 15 on Pro and as many as you like on Assistant.

### Is there a social media scheduler made for barbershops?

posthell is built for owners like you: tell it what happened at your shop this week and it writes a post for each network, tailors it, and schedules it. Nothing goes out until you approve it. It is from $12 a month ($10 billed yearly), with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plans.
