## The Problem

- **Stylists with shears in hand cannot pick up the phone.** A new client calls, hits voicemail, and books with the salon down the street.
- **30% of bookings happen outside salon hours.** After-work browsing of Google and Instagram leads to phone inquiries at 8 PM that nobody answers.
- **Last-minute cancellations leave gaps.** Without a fast-acting waitlist call-out, the chair sits empty.
- **Rebooking falls off after the visit.** Clients leave saying "I'll call to book next month" - and most do not.

## How AInora Solves It

AI answers inbound instantly, books appointments by service and stylist, manages the waitlist when last-minute cancellations open up, follows up after visits to prompt rebooking, and suggests relevant add-ons (toner with cut, treatment with color) to lift the average ticket.

## Industry Context

- **$69 billion** U.S. hair and nail salon industry revenue, with 1+ million establishments competing on rebooking and walk-in capture (Professional Beauty Association).
- **716,000+ barbers, hairstylists, and cosmetologists** employed in the U.S., projected 7% growth through 2032 (BLS Occupational Outlook).
- **$13 billion+** U.S. nail salon industry size with 56,000+ locations - phones rarely match the demand (NAILS Magazine Industry Stats).

## FAQ

**Does it integrate with Square Appointments?** Yes, plus Mindbody, Booksy, Fresha, Vagaro, GlossGenius, and 7,000+ apps via Zapier, Make, and n8n.

**How does it handle stylist-specific bookings?** AI knows each stylist's services, hours, and pricing. Repeat clients are routed to their preferred stylist by phone number.

**Will it sound robotic?** No. The conversation is natural - guests describe what they want, and AI confirms in plain language.

**How long does setup take?** Most salons go live in 1-2 weeks once the booking system and stylist list are mapped.
