Saturday IG DMs go unread

Saturday peak - front desk is washing, three DMs land in 90s, all book at the salon across the road

6-week color recall window missed

Color clients drift after 7-8 weeks without a nudge - competitor catches them first, lifetime value cut in half

22-28% Saturday cancellation rate

Without same-channel 24h + 2h reminders + deposit holds, Saturday chair-peak bleeds revenue every week

Front desk pulled off the client

Stylist stops mid-color to take a phone call about a brow lamination price - chair-time lost, both clients suffer

Salon Week

What a salon week looks like with an AI chatbot for salons on the line.

Knowledge Base

What your AI chatbot for salons actually knows.

Plug into Mindbody, Vagaro, Booksy, Treatwell, or Fresha. Beauty salon chatbot software pulls your live chair-time calendar, stylist roster + specialism, service menu + pricing + duration, deposit + cancellation policy, recall cadence per service, regulars list, and aftercare instructions - and books every client accurately, in any language. Multi-site salon groups see every chair in one queue with per-site routing; client data stays in your EU region (GDPR by default), and the chatbot never stores payment card data.

Live chair-time + stylist roster

Real-time platform sync (Mindbody, Vagaro, Booksy, Treatwell, Fresha) - never books a chair-time that isn't open.

Service menu + specialism

Per-stylist specialism (balayage, color correction, curly cuts, brow lamination, microblading), live service menu + pricing + duration.

Deposit + cancellation rules

Per-service deposit threshold (color refresh, balayage, brow lamination, multi-service), card-on-file holds, cancellation windows + refund logic.

Recall + rebook cadence

6-week color refresh, 4-week blow-out, 4-week brow lamination, 10-day nails - same-channel nudge with one-tap rebook.

Birthday VIP + loyalty

Birthday-week comp blow-out or 20% off color refresh, VIP segment auto-promoted to private booking windows.

Transformation reel + UGC loop

Post-visit Instagram tag prompt for recall discount - drives UGC, organic IG reach, and 6-week recall in one loop.

Every salon moment - automated.

From a 22:30 Thursday IG color-refresh DM to a Monday morning 6-week rebook nudge - beauty salon chatbot software handles every conversation type in your salon voice and your client's language.

Saturday IG DM → chair-time booked + deposit captured in under 60 seconds.

Saturday 10:15, the front desk is washing a client and four DMs land in 90 seconds. An AI chatbot for salons handles every one on WhatsApp or Instagram - checks live chair-time in Mindbody, Vagaro, Booksy, Treatwell, or Fresha, matches service + stylist + duration, captures the deposit in-thread, and writes the booking back to your platform with last-visit color formula attached.

  • Live read on Mindbody, Vagaro, Booksy, Treatwell, Fresha - never books a chair that isn't open
  • Stylist-aware: last-visit stylist preference, specialism match, current hair length captured in chat
  • 24/7 across WhatsApp, Instagram DM, website widget, Business Page
  • Writes confirmed appointment back to platform with stylist + service + duration + deposit + channel source
  • Same-channel confirmation - client doesn't switch app, browser, or email inbox
