Will Seekadu quote real prices to clients?

Yes — Seekadu quotes the pricing bands you've trained it on, broken down by stylist tier. For colour and extensions where final price depends on hair length and density, Seekadu quotes a range and books a free consultation to confirm the exact price. Clients prefer this to the typical "contact us for a quote" black hole.

Can Seekadu hold a deposit before confirming an appointment?

Yes. Seekadu sends a secure deposit link inside the same DM conversation — Stripe, Square, or your existing payment processor. The appointment is held provisionally for 30 minutes; if the deposit isn't paid in that window, the slot is released back. Reduces no-shows by around 60%.

How does Seekadu handle multi-location bookings?

If a client doesn't specify a location, Seekadu asks. Once the location is set, it only quotes from the available stylists at that branch with their actual schedules. A client booking at Eixample sees Eixample availability; cross-location bookings stay separate.

Will my regulars feel like they're talking to a bot?

Most won't. Seekadu's tone is warm and conversational — trained on your salon's voice, your emoji style, your inside jokes. Where clients do realise (usually because the reply came at 23:00), the feedback is positive — they're glad someone answered. The handoff to a human stylist is configurable and seamless.

How long does it take to set up?

Sofia at Studio Nova set up all 3 locations in 15 minutes. Upload your service menu, stylist tiers, deposit policy, and per-location schedules. Connect Instagram and WhatsApp Business. That's it — no developer, no agency, no integration project.

Can Seekadu trigger rebook reminders and review requests?

Yes. Rebook reminders fire automatically based on the service interval you set (typically 4–8 weeks for colour, 3–4 for cuts). Review requests go out 48 hours post-visit on the channel the client uses, in their language. Unhappy clients are flagged internally before the review is posted publicly.

How Studio Nova turned Instagram DMs into a fully booked Saturday.

Multi-location salon chatbots fix a familiar pattern: Sofia and her team got an average of 60 Instagram DMs a day — story replies, balayage price questions, booking requests. Stylists were on the floor with clients; replies took 4–6 hours. By then, the DM-er had booked the salon two blocks away.

I saw your story about the balayage today — that looked amazing! How much is it?

Thank you! 💛 Balayage at Studio Nova starts from €150 for shoulder-length hair, includes toning and a blowout. We're quite booked but I have one slot left this Thursday at 2pm with our senior colourist — want me to hold it for you?

Yes please!

Holding 🌟 Just need a name and a mobile for the booking confirmation. A €40 deposit secures the appointment — fully refundable up to 24h before.

What was actually happening across the Instagram inbox.

Studio Nova runs 3 locations across Barcelona — Eixample, Gràcia, and Sant Antoni. Each location has 4–5 stylists, and every stylist is booked back-to-back during the day. Nobody was watching the shared Instagram inbox in real time.

Story-reply DMs piled up between morning chairs and the lunch rush. By the time Sofia's marketing coordinator could triage them in the late afternoon, half the leads had already moved on.

A typical Tuesday morning — before Seekadu
