How our text messages work
Last updated: August 7, 2026
One message, one purpose: telling a waiting guest that his chair is about to free up, so he can finish his coffee next door and walk back in. Nothing is sent to a number that did not ask for it, and nothing about our service depends on saying yes.
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 "Text me when my chair is ready". 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:
Directly beneath the box, before anyone can continue, the tablet shows: "Msg frequency varies. Msg and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out."
What we send
- 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.
That is the whole programme for a walk-in: at most two messages for one visit. Guests who separately tick the offers box may also hear from us occasionally when a chair opens up; that is a different box and a different answer.
How to stop
Reply STOP to any message and it ends immediately. Reply HELP, call (818) 392-5771, or email dapperfellas@yahoo.com and a person will sort it out.
Frequency and cost
Frequency follows your visits – most guests see two to four messages a month. Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
