Questions salon owners and solo professionals ask.
Yes. AINORA AI receptionist books clients for treatments by checking stylist availability in real time. The client receives an SMS confirmation with visit details and preparation instructions.
Yes. The AI assistant knows your full service catalog and can suggest complementary treatments based on the client's history - for example, brow shaping with hair coloring, or a spa treatment with a manicure. This increases the average visit value.
AI receptionist remembers each client's preferred stylist, their usual treatments, allergies, and special needs. When booking, AI prioritizes the preferred stylist and suggests the nearest available slot.
An AI receptionist for beauty salons is quoted per deployment, based on call volume, integrations and languages, rather than a published price. It provides 24/7 coverage, handles unlimited calls simultaneously, and is weighed against the bookings currently lost to an unanswered phone and to no-shows.
That is the case it fits best, because for a solo professional being unavailable is the default state rather than the exception. The set-up is one calendar, your service menu with real durations, your deposit rule, and a short list of who is allowed to be put through to you mid-service. The assistant answers everything, books what it can, and texts you the two or three calls that genuinely needed you. The setting that matters most is what it says when you cannot come to the phone.
It routes by name where the caller gives one and applies that professional own prices and cancellation policy rather than a house default. The hard part is the caller who asks for a haircut on Thursday without naming anyone, and that is an agreement between the renters rather than a technical problem: a rota, first availability, or an offer of everyone who is free. We settle that rule before go-live rather than inventing one for a room of independent businesses.
Service length is the field that protects the day, so it is taken from your service menu durations rather than guessed from what the caller says. A root touch-up and a full head of highlights are not the same slot. Correcting those durations against reality is most of the work of the first month, and it is the difference between a booking that holds and one the front desk has to phone back.
No. It states your policy in your wording and takes the deposit step you configured, and where your policy requires a patch test before a colour service it books the test rather than the colour. Waiving a fee is a relationship decision and belongs to whoever owns the relationship. The same stop applies to colour corrections, anything medical-adjacent such as a scalp condition or post-treatment hair, and services your policy restricts by age.
