The AI receptionist for salons, nail salons and barbershops
An AI receptionist for salons picks up while your hands are in someone's hair. It answers every call and text 24/7 in English and Spanish, books the appointment on your calendar, and texts you a summary. Your stylists stay at the chair. The phone stops ringing out to voicemail.
Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a salon actually gets
Most salon calls come in while everyone is mid-service. These are the ones that used to go to voicemail.
Rebooking the next visit
A regular calls to get her six-week cut on the books. The receptionist checks your calendar, offers open times with her stylist, and books it.
Can't make it today
A client running late or sick calls at 8 a.m. The receptionist takes the change, moves the appointment by your rules, and texts you so you can fill the chair.
Color consult questions
"Can you take me from box black to blonde?" The receptionist gathers the details, books a consultation instead of a full service, and flags it for the colorist.
Walk-in and price checks
"Do you take walk-ins for a fade?" or "How much is a gel fill?" It answers from your menu and hours, then offers the next open slot.
Why salon owners put it on the front desk
No more phone at the chair
Stylists and barbers stop stepping away mid-color to answer. Every call still gets picked up, usually on the first ring.
Books into your calendar
Appointments land on your calendar with the client's name, number, service and stylist, so the day sheet is right when you open.
English and Spanish
Clients can call or text in either language and get answered in that language, day or night.
Texts after hours
Plenty of clients text at 11 p.m. to book. The receptionist answers texts 24/7, not just calls.
Screens the sales calls
Product reps, merchant processors and directory sellers get screened so they stop interrupting your front desk.
Keeps your number
Your salon number gets ported in. Clients keep calling the same number they always have, and nothing changes on your cards or booking links.

Each one is its own monthly plan. Start with one, add the rest when you are ready.

What a missed call actually costs
Only about 38% of calls to small businesses get answered by a person. Of the callers who hit voicemail, most hang up without a message, 85% never call back, and 62% call a competitor next. Run your own numbers:
What the alternatives cost

|---|---|---|
| A business phone line | $25–$35 | A number. It still rings to voicemail when you're on a ladder. |
| Answering service (human) | $235–$325+, billed per minute | A stranger reads a script, takes a message. No booking, no texting the caller, overage every busy month. |
| Part-time receptionist | $1,300–$1,800 | 20 hours a week. Nights, weekends, and lunch still go to voicemail. |
| Full-time receptionist | $4,000–$5,300 | Business hours only, plus payroll, benefits, sick days. |

Questions owners ask
Can it book with a specific stylist or barber?
Yes. It books on your calendar by your rules, including which stylist does which services, so a client asking for a specific stylist gets that stylist's open times.
What happens when a client needs to reschedule?
The receptionist takes the request, moves the appointment by the rules you set, and texts you a summary so you know the slot opened up.
Will it quote color prices?
It answers from the price menu you give it. For color corrections and big changes, you can have it book a consultation instead of quoting.
Does it answer texts too?
Yes. It answers calls and texts 24/7 in English and Spanish, which matters for clients who would rather text than call.
How much does it cost?
The AI Receptionist is $297/mo, with the first 3 months at $97/mo. Month to month, no contract. Add the other services only if you want them.
The whole back office for salons, one sign-up
Phones answered, missed calls texted back, reviews, follow-up, estimates, a crew app, social, SEO, ads and a website. Pick any or all of it. Each service is its own month-to-month plan.
