The NBHD

( Neb ) · For stylists, barbers & shop owners

You cut. Neb does the rest.

Whether you rent a chair or run the whole shop, Neb takes the chasing, the planning and the posting off your plate, so your time goes on the chair and on growing. You just text it, like an extra pair of hands that never forgets and never says "I thought someone else was doing it."

What it actually is

Like ChatGPT.
But it knows your business.

ChatGPT knows a bit about everything. Your Neb learns your business: your team, your jobs, your projects, your look and the way you talk, all from what you and your team tell it. It's your business brain, so it answers like someone who works there, and then it goes and does it.

Same question. Two very different answers.

AIChatGPT✗ Doesn't know your shop

What's left to sort for the training day?

I don't have any information about your training day.

Your Neb✓ Knows your shop

What's left to sort for the training day?

Two things: the models and the venue deposit. Want me to chase whoever's on them? And want me to create a "models wanted" poster for Insta, using your own photos?

Ask

Ask it anything

About your jobs, your team or your plans. It answers from what your team's told it, not the internet.

Make

Ask it to make something

A post in your look using your actual photos, not AI slop. A caption in your voice. A plan for the month.

Do

Ask it to do something

It makes the job, chases the right person and books the date.

And behind the scenes, without being asked:

Running at NBHD right now
  • Splits it up: one long brain dump becomes separate jobs, ideas, dates and decisions, each sorted to the right person and project.
  • Turns meeting notes and transcripts into jobs, decisions and follow-ups.
  • Plans it out: rough timings become real deadlines, and every project gets a next step.
  • Follows up: chases whoever's running late, and tells you when it's done.
  • Sums it up: a 7:30 brief every morning, and every idea from the team gathered for your weekly review.
  • Passes things on: jobs handed over with a step-by-step guide.
  • Builds your dashboards: a page for every person on the team, a page for every project, and an HQ for you. Made by Neb, not you.
  • Keeps it all up to date: every page, your dashboard and the calendar, refreshed through the day.

Your Neb is yours. Each person on your team only sees their own bit.

How it works

[ 01 ]

You text it.

Like a mate. "Can you do a post, I'm free Friday 10 till 3?" "Training day's confirmed for the 10th."

[ 02 ]

It works out what you mean.

Then does it: the job, the plan, the date, the post.

[ 03 ]

It keeps it moving.

Chases the right person, tells you when it's done, and flags what's slipping before it slips.

Sound familiar?

  • Empty slots that never got posted, because you were cutting.
  • You should post every day. You haven't got time to post every day.
  • You rent a chair, but you're running a whole business on your own.
  • You run the shop, but half your week goes on chasing people.

Whichever chair you're in.

On your own

Self-employed, renting a chair, building your name

  • Your free slots posted in seconds, in your look, captions included.
  • A 7:30 message with what you've got on and what's slipping.
  • Every content idea saved, and scripts in your voice Testing
  • Your work photos filed, ready to post.
  • Reminders for the bits that slip: stock, accounts, that course you booked.
  • Your goals, and what's moving them.

Running a team

Shop owners and managers

  • Every job has an owner and a deadline, and gets chased.
  • A page for everyone, private to them.
  • The team pings you without the group chat.
  • Meetings turned into actions.
  • Projects and events that run themselves.
  • Ideas from the team, answered every week.

Start on your own, add the team later. Same Neb.

Running a team

let's do a late-night event in November, cuts, music, drinks

Love it. It's a project for November now: Sam's booking the DJ, Jess is sorting drinks, and it's in the calendar. Want a content plan to build it up?

Then it chases every job till the night happens.

Two halves. One brain.

The assistantWhat it's doing for you all day

  • Gets how you actually talk. Half sentences, "Joe not Joey", "and me as well". It follows the conversation like a person would.
  • Turns talk into jobs. Every job gets an owner, a deadline and a quick how-to, so whoever picks it up knows exactly what to do.
  • Chases so you don't have to. A 7:30 message with what's late and what's due. Nothing on? It leaves you alone.
  • Turns meetings into action. Drop in your notes or transcript and it pulls out every job, decision and follow-up. Nothing goes in till you say yes.
  • Passes things on properly. "Send the training plan to Sam" goes with the steps, and you hear when it's done.
  • Runs the back-and-forth. Got a team? They ping you without the group chat. You tap to answer, they hear back.
  • Makes your posts in your shop's look, captions included.
  • Files your photos. The team drops them in one chat, and it labels them into your photo library.
  • Keeps private things private. Staff see their own stuff, and a moan about a colleague never gets saved.

The dashboardNot a to-do list. The whole shop, one screen

  • Your HQ. What's waiting on you, what's late, what's coming up, every project and its next step.
  • A page for you, and one for everyone on your team. Jobs, goals, content ideas. Nobody sees what they shouldn't.
  • Projects that run themselves. Events, training days, trips: who's going, what's sorted, what's still to figure out.
  • An ideas inbox with a weekly review, so every idea from the team gets an answer.
  • A content hub. Ideas, a monthly plan, your photo library and your posts.
  • Calendar, decisions and goals, all in one place and kept up to date by the assistant.

Content

Content that fills chairs.

Ideas, a monthly plan, posts in seconds, and scripts in your voice. (We're testing scripts in our own shop right now.)

Proof

Built in a barbershop first.

We built Neb to run NBHD, a 9-barber shop in Northampton. We use it every day, and it's already paying off, in our marketing and on the till.

Made for you

Built around how you work.

One chair or a team of ten, no two set-ups are the same. We learn how you work (clients, goals, team, training), then set Neb up to fit.

We're only taking on a handful of stylists, shops, educators and mentors. Leave your details and we'll be in touch to see how you work and what would help most.
