Salon & beauty, bookings 24/7

Take treatment bookings while you're with a client

Hair salons, barbers, beauty rooms and spas lose bookings every day because the phone rings during treatments. The salon assistant takes bookings, answers pricing and treatment questions, mentions patch tests upfront (48 hours for colour, lash, brow), repeats your cancellation policy at the right moment, and pushes the booking into your diary or notifies you on the spot. Tone is warm and brand-aware.

How it works

Here's what a real conversation with your Salon assistant assistant looks like.

I want a balayage. How much would that be and when can you fit me in this week?
Lovely, a balayage with us is from £125 depending on hair length, and takes about 3 hours. Because this is your first colour with us I'll need to book you a patch test at least 48 hours before. I've got a patch test on Tuesday at 5pm with Maya (our senior colourist), and a colour appointment Thursday at 11am. Shall I provisionally hold both? I'll just need your name and mobile.

What you get

Patch-test reminders on colour, lash and brow treatments

Published price list, never quotes off-list

Cancellation policy repeated on every booking confirmation

Stylist preferences captured (regular client vs new)

Sensible add-on suggestions without being pushy

The outcome

Bookings come in 24/7, including the 9pm-on-Sunday wedding emergency, without anyone being on the phone. Staff free to focus on the client in the chair.

How each feature helps

These are the platform features that make this use case work. Each one plays a specific role in delivering results.

Knowledge sources

You give your assistant information to learn from. Upload documents, paste URLs or connect cloud folders. The assistant reads everything, breaks it into chunks and uses the relevant bits when answering questions.

Actions

Actions let your assistant do things in the real world. Send an email, create a support ticket, update a CRM record or call any webhook. You decide which actions need human approval before they run.

Forms

Sometimes a structured form works better than a free-text conversation. You build the form once with the fields you need and it works everywhere: in the chat widget, on a standalone page and in email follow-ups. Submissions feed into your inbox and can trigger actions.

Outcome analytics

Don't just count messages. Track what actually matters: leads captured, meetings booked, issues resolved, handoffs avoided and cost per outcome. You'll see which assistants drive results and which need attention.
