For salons, barbershops, med spas, nail bars & boutiques

Your hands are in someone’s hair. The phone rings out. She books elsewhere.

We answer, we book, and we handle the Instagram DM asking about price and availability — because in this business that is where half your enquiries actually arrive.

What it actually costs you

Three things every salon operator deals with.

77%

of appointments are now booked online

Across 181,180 barbering appointments. If your only booking route is a phone somebody has to pick up, you are competing for the shrinking quarter — and losing the rest before you know they existed.

14–22%

Cancellation rates, by segment

Barbershops at 14%, lash and brow bars at 22%. An empty chair is not recoverable — the hour is simply gone, and the stylist still gets paid.

DMs

Where the enquiry actually comes from

"How much for a full head of highlights and do you have Saturday?" arrives on Instagram, at 9 PM, and sits unread until Tuesday. By then she has booked.

The salon playbook

What we set up for Salons, barbershops, med spas & boutiques.

Booking that never closes

Phone, web chat, Instagram and Facebook DM all book into the same calendar, per stylist or any-available, with the right service duration attached.

AI on the DMs

Answers the price and availability questions in your voice and books. It stays out of any conversation already running with a regular.

Deposits and confirm-required reminders

Card on file for the services worth protecting, and a reminder sequence that needs a reply. Cancellations that come early are refillable; no-shows are not.

Rebooking at checkout, then chasing it

The client who leaves without a next appointment is the one you lose. If they did not rebook in the chair, they get a sequence at the right interval for their service.

Review requests after every appointment

Sent at the moment the blow-dry still looks like the blow-dry.

Colour and cut interval campaigns

Six weeks for a cut, eight for colour, whatever your intervals actually are. Runs on its own for every client on the book.

A guardrail we put in writing. Med spas are different. The moment you offer injectables, lasers, or anything under medical supervision, you may be handling health information — and we treat you like a clinic, not a salon. Different agreement, different message content, and no clinical detail anywhere in the system.

Talk to someone who has actually run a salon phone

Tell us what is happening and we will call your business after hours first, so you hear the problem before we pitch the fix.

No spam and no reselling your information, ever. We call once, and if it is not a fit we tell you so.

Next step

Hear what your salon phone sounds like at 8 PM.

We call your business when nobody is there and record what happens. Then you hear the same call handled properly. Fifteen minutes, and the recording is yours either way.
