- Your voice answers. The caller hears you — a voice clone, not a robot and not voicemail.
- Free slot, client says yes? Booked. PHINE. books the slot, then sends you one short brief after the call.
- One saved $35 cut pays for a $19.99 seat.

A consult call while you’re tattooing is a consult lost. PHINE. takes the call, books the consult, and points the client to your gallery — then the deposit goes on your own payment link.
- Your gallery, picked by you. Cuts, fades, tattoo work — the standard before they book.
- Guest booking, no account. Name and phone number — find it later the same way.
- Deposit, your way. Clients pay in person, or prepay on your own payment link. PHINE. never charges, processes, or holds money.

- Your voice, your words. A 30-second sample builds the clone; you approve the wording it uses.
- Google Calendar link. PHINE. checks free and busy times before it books.
- Your shop’s name on the booking. The confirmation reads “Booked by PHINE.”

The beard oils, balms and care products your barber already sells in the chair — listed here so clients can pick them up with their booking. The shop lists its own products at its own prices; PHINE. never touches the money.
Same booking app, same seat — the Shelf adds products to a booking. It doesn’t add a second app.

Short answers — about PHINE.
Does PHINE. touch my money?
No. PHINE. never takes a card or CVV, never charges, never processes, and never holds money. Clients pay in person, or prepay on your own payment link.
Do I need a new number?
No — your shop number. PHINE. works on the number clients already call. You never port it, and you never give clients a new number to learn.
What if I’m busy?
PHINE. answers. Mid-fade, mid-tattoo, mid-consult — PHINE. picks up in your voice, books the free slot, and sends you one short brief after.

Booking is free. Your shop’s page, booking, cancel, waitlist, and reschedule — no charge, no card. The voice upgrade is $19.99 per seat per month, plus taxes and fees — 180 minutes included, then $0.12 per minute over, with a visible minute meter and alerts. Shop bundles: 3 seats $49.99/mo, 5 seats $79.99/mo; extra seats $19.99 each. 14-day trial — $20 credit, no card — full platform for 14 days.

A voice agent in your cloned voice, a booking app, and a waitlist — all on your shop number. No new hardware, no new number, no app for your clients to install.
