Hours of office work, done in minutes of talking. Even when you're mid-color with foils in.

Reminders, deposit requests, waitlist fills and rebooking texts go out on their own. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager you run by voice, hands-free, between appointments.

Where a salon or spa loses bookings
In a salon, the person who'd answer the phone usually has scissors or a client's hair in their hands. Clients who can't get through don't always try again, and an empty chair at 2 pm can't be sold later.
of salon and spa customers have skipped booking an appointment because it was too hard to get through to someone or book online.
Zenoti 2025 salon and spa consumer survey 1spa visits were made in the U.S. in 2025, at an average of $123.10 in revenue per visit. Each missed booking is real money.

It isn't an answering service. Calls are one job out of many. It's an AI Office Manager that does the office work itself, around the clock, and checks with you on anything that matters.
- Answers and books every callIt picks up every call and message, asks what service the client wants and with whom, checks the right stylist's or therapist's book, and confirms the appointment on the live call with a text.
- Cuts no-shows with reminders and depositsIt sends reminders on your schedule, asks for a deposit on long services or new clients if that's your policy, and reminds people of your cancellation rule kindly but clearly.
- Refills cancellations from a waitlistWhen someone cancels, it texts the clients waiting for that day or that stylist and books the first one to say yes, so the chair doesn't sit empty.
- Rebooks regulars on timeIt knows each regular's usual rhythm, such as a cut every six weeks or color every eight, and texts them when they're due with a couple of open times.
- Quotes weddings, parties and packagesTell it your bridal or group rates and it sends the quote, collects the headcount and timing, takes the deposit and follows up until it's booked.
- Orders color and retail stock"Two tubes of 7N, a liter of 20-volume developer and a case of the purple shampoo." It sends the order to your distributor by email or places it on their website, and tells you when it's confirmed.
- Collects payments and reviewsIt sends payment links for deposits and packages through your own Stripe, QuickBooks or Xero, chases anything unpaid, and asks happy clients for a review the next day.

How it handles a booking, then a bridal quote
Two example conversations, written to show how it works. They are not recordings of real customers. The first is a new client calling at 3:30 pm. The second is you, a few minutes later, while a client processes.
3:30 pm: a new client calls
3:45 pm: you, while a color processes
You stay in charge
It works for you, not around you.
You set the rules
Tell it, in plain words, what needs your OK first: prices over a set amount, new customers, anything you like.
Undo before it goes
Emails, texts and invoices wait in a short undo window before they leave.
Your number, your line
Calls and texts run on your own Twilio or Telnyx account. You keep the number.
Honest with callers
If anyone asks, it says plainly that it's an AI Office Manager for your business.
What is the office work costing you?
Answer a few questions about your calls, quotes and invoices. You'll see the hours you'd get back each week, the work you'd keep, what an office hire would cost instead, and which plan fits. Every assumption shows its source, and you can change it.

Questions salon and spa owners ask
Is this just an answering service?
No. Answering calls is one thing it does. It's a 24/7 AI Office Manager that does the office work itself: it books appointments, sends reminders and takes deposits, refills cancellations, rebooks regulars, quotes weddings and parties, orders stock, handles email and texts, and tells you what it did.
Can it book with the right stylist or therapist?
Yes. You tell it who does which services, how long each one takes and any buffer you need, and it only offers times that fit the right person's book. Clients who ask for someone specific get that person's openings.
Will it enforce my cancellation and deposit policy?
It explains your policy at booking, sends the deposit link if your rules call for one, and reminds clients of the cut-off before their appointment. Whether to waive a fee is up to you, and it asks before making any exception.
Does it work with my booking software?
It runs on your calendar, email, texts and payments in Stripe, QuickBooks or Xero. If your salon booking system has a web portal or syncs to a calendar, we'll look at the best way to connect it on your setup call.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. You connect your own Twilio or Telnyx account and your business number runs through it. We don't sell or provide numbers, so the line stays yours.
Will clients know they're talking to an AI?
If anyone asks, it says so plainly. When a client wants you personally, it takes the details and lets you know right away, or puts them through if you've said to.
How does setup work?
Tell it how you work in plain words, out loud or typed: your services, prices and durations, who does what, your hours, your deposit and cancellation rules and what needs your OK. Every plan includes a 1:1 setup call, booked right after checkout: in about 30 minutes we connect your email, calendar, invoicing and phone line with you and check it works the way you do. After that, you change anything by telling it.
Which plan should I pick?
Most owners pick Growth. You get 3 seats, so your front desk and a senior stylist each get their own login, and when a busy season pushes past your capacity you can purchase additional usage on the spot (Starter requires an upgrade). Starter is the entry plan for a solo stylist trying it at low volume. Salons and spas with several chairs or treatment rooms that hand over the whole front desk get the most from Scale: 10 seats, the highest capacity and the fastest tier. You can move up any time: your new month starts that day, and the unused part of your old plan comes off the first charge.
