An AI receptionist for hair salons that knows who does what
You are mid-colour with foils in your hands and the phone is going. This picks it up, knows that a perm with Tony runs three hours and a trim is thirty minutes, knows Lisa does not do perms at all, and books into the gap that actually exists — then texts the client a code.
It knows who does what, and how long it really takes.
A perm with Tony is three hours; a trim is thirty minutes. Durations are set per stylist, not per service, because they genuinely differ.
If the stylist a caller asks for does not do that service, it says so and offers the ones who do — instead of booking a slot that cannot be worked.
A day off, a late start, one stylist finishing early: it reads the schedule you described.
Nobody gets double-booked, even when two callers are on the line at the same second.

True in every trade
Your customers’ languages
Over twenty, recognised as the caller speaks. Nobody presses a key and nobody has to ask.
A book you can actually read
Today’s list, a calendar, and the written transcript of the call behind every single row.
Change it in a sentence
New service, new hours, a day off — write it the way you would say it. There is no settings screen to hunt through.
Your customers cancel by text
The confirmation text is also how they get out of it. They reply, the slot goes back into your book, and you are told if it was for today — no queue, no app, and nobody has to phone you back to cancel.
Your side is in your language too
The dashboard is in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese — dates and durations included. You should not have to work in your second language to run your own book.
A person, when they ask for one
Add and confirm your mobile and “can I speak to someone?” rings it. Until you confirm it, the receptionist never offers a transfer it cannot make — it takes a message instead.
Hair & barber: the things people ask first
Can it book with a specific stylist?
Yes, and it checks that the stylist actually does that service first. If a caller asks for a perm with someone who only does cuts and colour, it says so plainly and offers the stylists who do perms, instead of writing a booking nobody can work.
Different stylists take different times for the same service. Does it cope?
That is set per stylist, not per service, because the difference is real. A senior stylist’s colour and a junior’s can be an hour apart, and whichever one is booked is the length that gets held in the book.
What about a day off or someone finishing early?
It reads whatever you described — a late start on Mondays, one stylist finishing at three on Thursdays, a week off. You change it by writing a sentence, not by hunting through a rota screen.
Two people in the same family, two languages. Does that confuse it?
No — and you can hear it on this page. In the recording a husband and wife book together in different languages, and it follows each of them without anybody asking it to switch. It also finds a second stylist so both fit the same afternoon.
Not quite what you run?
These work the same way underneath — and if none of them is you, the last card is.
Nail salons
Two services in one visit, and it works out when the second one starts.
Pet grooming
It asks about the dog before it books the slot.
Tattoo studios
It books the consultation, not a guess at how long the piece takes.
AI phone answering service
A traditional answering service picks up and writes down what the caller said.
