What it does

Built for how salons actually run.

Appointment booking

AI books clients for haircuts, color, nails, waxing, and spa services by checking stylist availability in real time across every chair.

Stylist preference matching

AI remembers each client's preferred stylist or colorist and prioritizes them when booking. If the stylist is busy, AI suggests the nearest available slot with them or a trusted alternate.

Gap-fill rebooking

Cancellation just opened a 2pm chair? AI calls clients on the waitlist, offers the slot, and fills the gap before it costs you the day.

Upsell suggestions

AI knows your full service menu and suggests relevant add-ons based on client history: a gloss with cut-and-color, brow shape with a blowout, scalp treatment with a keratin service.

Client loyalty follow-ups

AI reaches out to regulars when they are overdue for a cut or color refresh. Keeps your chair full and clients on their maintenance cadence.

After-hours booking

Clients scroll Instagram at 10pm and decide they need a fresh cut. AI answers 24/7 so they book with you, not the salon whose phone does ring.

Why now

Salon clients book at 10pm. Your stylists do not.

Calls land mid-cut or mid-color

AI answers the moment the phone rings so stylists never have to step away from a client mid-service.

Evening and weekend bookings get lost

AI books 24/7, including the after-hours hours when most lifestyle spending decisions actually happen.

Last-minute cancellations create empty chairs

AI calls the waitlist and fills the gap before the chair sits idle and you lose the revenue for the day.

Regulars drift when they are not reminded

AI follows up with clients due for their next cut, color refresh, or nail service so your loyal base stays on schedule.

How it works

From missed call to booked chair.

01

Client calls or AI follows up

AI answers every inbound call on the first ring. For lapsed regulars, AI reaches out proactively to rebook them.

02

AI matches and books

Matches the client to their preferred stylist, finds the right slot, and adds relevant add-ons to the booking.

03

Confirmation and reminder

Client gets an SMS confirmation. Pre-visit reminder lets them confirm or reschedule with a reply, cutting no-shows.

Choice architecture

What AI handles. When a human joins.

AI covers the routine 80 percent. Your stylist steps in for the nuanced 20 percent, briefed with full context.

What you get from us

Your partner, not just a tool.

Every salon runs differently. We build around your stylists, your service menu, and the way your front desk already speaks to clients.

Week 1

Discovery and configuration

We map your service menu, stylist schedules, preferred-client rules, and escalation logic. We listen to recent calls to learn how your front desk actually talks.

Week 2

Build and test

We build your AI, connect it to your booking system and CRM, and run test calls through realistic scenarios. You review recordings and tell us what to fine-tune before go-live.

Ongoing

Weekly calibration

Your account manager reviews call transcripts weekly, updates the agent as your services evolve, and flags any conversation that needs your attention. Not a ticket queue.

Integrations

Connects to the tools your salon already uses.

AI writes bookings, client notes, and follow-ups straight into your stack. No double entry, no CSV imports.

Enhanced handoff

How the handoff works.
