AI Receptionist for Salons

Salons lose bookings every time the phone rings during a treatment. Our AI receptionist for salons picks up instantly, books colour, cut and treatment slots across your team, and handles rebookings automatically.

14-day money-back guarantee. No contracts — cancel anytime.

We onboard a limited number of new businesses each month.

In a salon, the phone always rings mid-appointment. A stylist with foils in hand cannot pick up, and the client who wanted Saturday's last slot books somewhere else. Rebookings and reminders are done between clients, if there is time.

We handle the setup end to end: we design the conversation, train the agent on your services, stylists and pricing, connect it to your salon software and monitor it as it goes live. You keep full transcripts, tunable rules and instant escalation to your team when it matters.

How it works

Step 1
Answers during every appointment

Calls are picked up instantly, so no stylist has to stop.

Step 2
Books the right stylist

Cut, colour and treatment slots are booked across your team, and clients can ask for their regular stylist.

Step 3
Reminds and rebooks

Automatic reminders reduce no-shows, and rebookings are handled without your team.

The hidden cost

The real cost of a missed call at a salon

An unanswered call is an empty chair. A new client who cannot book goes to the salon that answers, and a regular who cannot rebook easily leaves a longer gap between visits.

Hands full

Stylists cannot answer mid-colour or mid-cut.

No-shows

Without reminders, booked slots go unused.

Missed rebookings

Clients leave without their next appointment in the diary.
