Keep cutting.
VERA has the phone, the book and the rent.
VERA puts regulars on standing slots with their barber, answers the business number while your hands are busy, fills late cancellations, collects booth rent from renting barbers, and drafts the shop's posts, while you approve every message and charge.

Powering barbershops from one chair to a full shop
You cannot answer the phone with clippers in your hand.
Thirty-minute cuts leave no time for the desk. The phone, the book, the rent and the feed are what VERA keeps moving while you work.
The phone during a fade
Every missed call is a cut booked somewhere else. Vera answers the business number, books into open slots and tells callers your walk-in policy.
Regulars who slip a week
Your regulars run on a two- to four-week clock. VERA notices when one runs late and drafts the text with their barber's openings.
Late cancels on short slots
A half-hour gap is gone before you can fill it. VERA drafts an open-chair post and a text to the regulars you pick.
Chasing booth rent
Asking a barber for rent every week is awkward. Rent runs as an automatic payment once each barber authorizes it.
The feed goes quiet
Fresh cuts are the best ad you have. VERA writes the caption around your photo and schedules it for Instagram and TikTok.
Rush weeks
Back-to-school, the holidays, prom. VERA drafts the posts and opens extra slots on the booking page before the rush starts.
Your shop runs on approval.
Three steps. Nothing goes to a client until you say yes.

VERA for Barbershops, in plain terms.
The questions people ask before they sign up, answered without the sales pitch.
What is VERA?
VERA is an AI business operations assistant for barbershops. It prepares quotes, invoices, follow-ups, scheduling changes, marketing content, customer messages and reports using the tools your business already uses. VERA works approval-first: it drafts the work and shows it to you, and nothing is sent, posted, booked or charged until you approve it.
Who is VERA for?
VERA is built for owner-operated and small-team businesses that run on jobs, quotes and invoices, and for the person in that business who does the office work after hours. It ships tailored setups for trades and home services, professional services, agencies, property and real estate, retail, hospitality, healthcare and auto repair.
How does VERA work?
VERA follows four steps: propose, approve, execute, log. You describe what you need in plain English, or VERA spots the work itself from your jobs and messages. It drafts the result and puts it in an approval queue. You approve, edit or reject it. Only then does VERA send it, and it records what it did.
Will VERA contact my customers without my permission?
No. Every message, quote, invoice, post and reminder that leaves your business waits in an approval queue until you approve it. You can turn on automatic sending for specific routine tasks, but only under rules you set yourself, and the default for everything is off. Every action VERA takes is written to an activity log you can read.
What software does VERA work with?
VERA connects to the accounting, calendar, payment, messaging, review and social tools most small businesses already run, including QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Gmail, Outlook, Stripe, Square, Instagram, Facebook and Mailchimp. You connect a tool by signing in to it, not by pasting API keys, and you can disconnect any of them at any time.
How much does VERA cost?
VERA has a free tier and four paid plans: Starter at $49 a month, Pro at $99 a month, Business at $199 a month and Agency at $399 a month. Every plan carries a month of AI work, connected integrations, scheduled tasks and team seats, and they differ by how much of each. The cheapest paid plan is Starter at $49 a month, and annual billing costs less than monthly.
What does VERA not do?
VERA does not act on your behalf without approval, and it does not replace your accountant, your lawyer or your licensed trades work. It does not file your taxes, sign contracts for you, or make decisions about hiring or firing. It is a web application only, with no desktop install, and it is sold in the United States.

Is VERA the right call for you?
Including the cases where the answer is no. Those are the ones worth reading.
Is VERA right for my business?
VERA fits best when the office work is the bottleneck: quotes going out late, follow-ups not happening, invoices sitting unpaid, and nobody on payroll to chase them. It suits barbershops with one to about twenty-five people. If your admin is already fully covered by staff you trust, VERA has less to add.
How is VERA different from a general AI assistant like ChatGPT?
A general assistant writes text in a chat window and then you copy it somewhere. VERA is connected to your business: it reads your real jobs, customers, quotes and invoices, produces work inside those records, and can send it once you approve. It also keeps an approval queue and an activity log, which a chat window has no concept of.
How is VERA different from hiring a virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant is a person you hire, train, schedule and pay by the hour, typically several hundred to a few thousand dollars a month. VERA is software starting at $49 a month that works instantly, at any hour, and never needs handover notes. A person handles judgement and phone calls better; VERA handles volume and consistency better.
Is VERA safe to use with customer data?
Connector credentials are encrypted at rest, traffic is served over HTTPS, and you can disconnect any integration at any time to revoke access. VERA reads only what you connect and only writes what you approve. You can export your data and delete your account. The published security page states plainly what is in place and what is not yet.
Can I try VERA before paying?
Yes. There is a free tier that runs with no payment details, and a 7-day trial of the Business feature set. VERA also ships demo data for every connector, so you can watch it draft a quote, an invoice and a follow-up before connecting a single account. You can cancel at any time and export your data on the way out.

What a plan covers
Every plan carries a month of AI work. Everything you do with your own records is unmetered, so the only thing a heavy month can slow down is new drafting.
Uses your month of AI work
- Drafting a quote, an estimate, or a material takeoff
- Writing a customer reply, a follow-up, or a proposal
- Posts, captions, and a content calendar written for you
- Reading an invoice or a receipt you scanned in
- Research on your market and your competitors
- Reports and analysis of how the business is doing
Never touches it
- Sending a quote or an invoice you already approved
- Taking a payment and recording what came in
- Jobs and appointments moving through the calendar
- Reading, editing, and exporting your own records
- Connecting a tool, and everything it syncs in
- Adding people to the team and setting their access
Good to know
Open any question for the detail.
What are the plan limits?
Each plan includes a set number of seats, connected integrations, and scheduled tasks (see each card). Approval and automation capabilities also step up by plan.
What happens in a really busy month?
If you reach the end of a month's AI work, new drafting pauses and nothing else changes. Your data stays put, everything you already approved still runs, and your allowance refills at the start of the next billing cycle.
What do I get during the 7-day trial?
Enough AI work to put VERA through a real week of your own jobs, which is less than a paid month. Upgrade any time and your plan's full allowance and features unlock immediately.
How do I know how much I have left?
Your account header shows how much of the month is left, and the Usage page lists every job VERA has run and what it took. Nothing is spent without appearing there.
Frequently asked questions.
Can VERA handle walk-ins?
VERA books appointments, not the walk-in line. Vera can tell callers your walk-in policy and hours from the notes you wrote, and the booking page shows only the times a barber is actually free.
Can it collect booth rent?
Yes. Set each renting barber up with a weekly or monthly automatic payment, which begins once they authorize it. VERA records what cleared and drafts a reminder for anything that did not.
Will VERA text my clients on its own?
Not unless you decide it should. By default every message waits for your approval. If you want one routine task, such as day-before reminders, to run on its own, you create that rule and can turn it off any time.
Does it work with Square?
Yes. VERA connects to Square, Stripe, Google Calendar, QuickBooks, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube. You connect by signing in, no API keys.
Can each barber have their own book?
Yes. Services can be tied to the barbers who do them, so clients book a specific barber and see only that barber's open time.
Can it post my cuts?
Yes. Add the photo and VERA drafts the caption and schedules it for Instagram, TikTok or Facebook once you approve it.
Can I review everything before it happens?
Always. VERA is approval-first: propose, approve, execute. Nothing reaches a client without your say-so, and every action is logged.
