How our text messages work
Last updated: October 25, 2026
Two programs, each with its own opt-in. Walk-in queue alerts keep a waiting guest updated about his visit. Offers by text are marketing messages you sign up for on this website. Nothing is sent to a number that did not ask for it, and nothing about our service depends on saying yes.
Program 1: walk-in queue alerts
Where you opt in
There is a tablet at the front desk. A guest who walks in without an appointment joins the line on it: he enters his number, then his name. On that second screen there is a box reading "I agree to receive Dapper Fellas walk-in queue text alerts." The box starts empty. He ticks it himself, or he does not and simply waits to be called by voice, as people always have.
This is the screen, exactly as it appears on the tablet. The same evidence is available as a standalone image for review:
Directly beneath the box, before anyone can continue, the tablet shows: "Up to 4 messages per visit. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not required to join the queue or purchase services." Visible Privacy Policy and SMS Terms links follow the disclosure.
What we send
- You joined the walk-in line. Sent once after the guest joins, with the current wait estimate.
- Your chair is nearly ready. Sent once, when the barber you are waiting for is roughly ten minutes from finishing – enough time to walk back from wherever you went.
- Your chair is ready. Sent when the barber actually calls you up.
- We missed you. Sent instead of the ready alert if the guest does not return when called, explaining whether the guest was returned to the line or released.
That is the whole program for a walk-in: up to four transactional messages for one visit. This program sends no marketing, offers, third-party content, or affiliate content.
Program 2: Dapper Fellas offers by text (marketing)
Where you opt in
On our website, at dapperfellasbarbershop.com/texts. You enter your mobile number (and, if you like, your name) and tick a box that starts empty. The button stays disabled until it is ticked. The box reads:
"I agree to receive recurring marketing text messages (offers, openings, reminders to rebook) from Dapper Fellas Barbershop at the number provided. Consent is not a condition of any purchase."
Directly beneath it: "Up to 4 msgs/month. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help." with visible links to the Privacy Policy and these SMS terms. Here is the form as it appears (also as a standalone image):
What we send
- Offers from the shop.
- Openings in the chair.
- Reminders to rebook when it is about time for your next cut.
Up to 4 messages per month. We send nothing for third parties or affiliates, and nothing to a purchased or rented list. Each message names Dapper Fellas Barbershop and tells you how to stop. We keep a record of each sign-up: your number, name if given, date and time, page, and the exact wording you agreed to.
How to stop (both programs)
Reply STOP to any message and that program ends immediately. Reply HELP, call (818) 392-5771, or email [email protected] and a person will sort it out.
