Haircut reminder on WhatsApp
Updated .
A haircut reminder on WhatsApp is a message on your usual gap, sent early enough to book a slot. With Mindie you send "every 5 weeks on Saturday at 10am remind me to book a haircut" once, and it comes back every five weeks.
Most people don't forget the haircut. They remember it on the morning they look in the mirror, and by then the good slots this week are gone.

on WhatsApp
Every five weeks
For the appointment itself
For color or a longer gap
When to be reminded
- About a week before you'd want the cut, so you can pick a time that suits you.
- On the day before the appointment, if your barber or stylist doesn't send one.
- On a longer gap for color, which usually needs a longer booking.
Why it slips
- There's no fixed date. "Every five weeks or so" never lands on a calendar.
- Popular stylists book out. The person you like may have nothing for ten days.
- Weeks blur together. It feels like your last cut was two weeks ago when it was six.
Habits that help
- Book the next one before you leave the chair. Then set a reminder for the day before.
- Keep your usual cut as a note. Useful when your regular stylist is away and someone new is cutting.
- Match the gap to your hair, not the calendar. If five weeks feels long, move it to four.
How Mindie handles it
- Send the gap and a time that suits booking, like Saturday morning.
- Mindie confirms the schedule, for example "Every 5 weeks on Saturday at 10:00 am".
- It messages you on each date. Reply "done" once booked, or "snooze 2 hours" if you're out.
To change the gap, reply "change my haircut reminder to every 6 weeks".
What Mindie doesn't do
- It doesn't book appointments or contact your salon.
- It doesn't message anyone else. Reminders come to your own chat only.
Questions
How often should the reminder repeat?
Most short cuts need a trim every 4 to 6 weeks; longer styles can go 8 to 12. Set the gap you actually keep, and change it if it feels off.
Can Mindie book the appointment for me?
No. It reminds you to book; the call or booking page is still yours.
Can I save my usual cut as a note?
Yes. Send something like "note: haircut is a number 2 on the sides, scissors on top" and ask for it before your next visit.
Can I set it from today's appointment?
Yes. Right after a cut, send "remind me in 6 weeks to book a haircut". Change the gap to suit your hair.
Can I save my barber's number with it?
Yes. Include the number or shop name in the reminder, so it's in the message when you book.
