Front desk lost to price Qs

What a Saturday salon shift looks like with salon booking automation on the line.
The same DMs and reschedules arrive. The difference is what happens when Sofia is mid-balayage at the chair and a client at 21:48 wants to book Saturday's slot.
Without Seekadu
IG DM → unread for 14 hours
"How much for balayage?" - DM sits unread until Tuesday afternoon. By then she's booked at the salon next door.

Multi-location groups see every chair in one queue with per-location routing; service duration and stylist auto-matched on every booking.

Every chair-time moment - automated.
From a 21:48 Instagram balayage DM to a week-5 colour rebook - salon booking automation handles every booking moment in your salon's voice and your client's language.
Balayage booked from Instagram in 60 seconds.
A client sees your balayage reel, taps Message, asks for a price. Without an AI salon booking system you reply tomorrow morning - by then she's booked at the salon across the road. The AI asks hair length + condition + colour history, quotes the price band, books the right colourist in Fresha, captures the deposit, all in the same DM thread.
- Connects to the official Instagram Messaging API + WhatsApp Business API
- Live Fresha / Booksy / Vagaro / Treatwell read on every quote
- Asks length + condition + history for accurate quote + chair-time block
- Books with the right stylist's specialism (balayage, blonde, colour correction)
- Captures deposit + writes booking back to your PMS with channel source

Instagram is where my clients live. Before Seekadu I lost half my DMs because I couldn't reply fast enough. Now the AI books the balayage off the reel, captures the deposit, and Saturday is sold out two weeks ahead.

Lash fills are a 3-week cadence - if I miss the rebook window, I lose the client. The AI WhatsApps every lash client on day 18, books with their preferred tech, takes the deposit. Retention is the highest it's ever been.
