AI receptionist for salons
An AI receptionist built for salons.
It answers your phone 24/7, understands your services, checks real-time availability and books the appointment — so a missed call doesn't mean a missed client. When something needs a person, it hands off to your team.
Every call answered
A missed call can become a missed booking.
When the front desk is mid-service or the salon is closed, calls go to voicemail — and many callers just book somewhere else. The AI receptionist answers those calls and books them, so the phone stops leaking appointments.
How it works
From ringing phone to a booked appointment
A client calls
The AI receptionist answers — including after hours, when you'd otherwise miss the call.
It understands the request
It recognises the service the caller wants and how long it takes from your menu.
It checks the live calendar
It finds real, open times based on staff hours and qualifications.
It books or hands off
It confirms the appointment on the calendar, or routes the caller to your team when needed.

On a call
What a typical call sounds like
A caller asks for a gel manicure on Saturday. The AI receptionist recognises the service from your menu, checks the real-time calendar against your technicians’ hours and qualifications, offers the open times, and books the one the caller picks — confirming the details before the call ends. If the caller asks for a specific technician, it books with them.
It also answers the questions your desk fields all day — hours, location, parking, what a service costs and how long it takes — and, for anything it shouldn’t handle on its own, it hands the caller to a person instead of guessing.
Nail salons feel this most on a busy Saturday, when every technician is working and the phone won’t stop. See the nail walkthrough in AI receptionist for nail salons, or how it fits the whole floor in nail salon software.
On one calendar
Phone bookings land on your live calendar
The AI books into the same system as everything else.
The AI receptionist isn't a separate booking silo. It reads and writes the same real-time calendar as your online booking and front desk, so a phone booking updates availability everywhere the instant it's made.
- Books onto the live calendar during the call
- Shares availability with online booking
- No double bookings across channels
- Hands off to staff when appropriate
