Nail salons

An AI receptionist for nail salons that books both services in one visit

Your hands are under a lamp and the phone is ringing. This answers it, holds the right length for a gel set rather than a generic half hour, and when the caller adds a pedicure it works out that the second one starts after the first — not on top of it. Then it texts them a code.

What it does on the call

Two services in one visit, and it works out when the second one starts.

A manicure and a pedicure in the same visit are two appointments back to back — it works out that the second starts when the first ends, rather than double-booking the same hour.

Gel, acrylic and a soak-off are different lengths, and the length that gets held is the one that service actually takes.

Who does which service is respected, so nobody is booked with a technician who does not do acrylics.

Somebody asking to add something halfway through the call does not restart the booking — it just extends it.

Your customers’ languages

Over twenty languages, recognised as the caller speaks — no key presses, nobody has to ask.

A book you can actually read

Today’s list, a calendar, and the written transcript behind every row.

Change it in a sentence

New hours, a day off, a new service — write it the way you would say it. No settings screen to hunt through.

Your customers cancel by text

The confirmation text is also the way out: they reply, the slot goes back into your book, and you are told if it was for today.

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, so you never run your book in your second language.

A person, when they ask for one

Confirm your mobile and “can I speak to someone?” rings it. Until then it never offers a transfer it cannot make — it takes a message instead.

The nail salon call on this page runs 1:48 start to finish, nothing cut — the same software that would answer your line.

Questions

Nail salons: the things people ask first

Somebody books a manicure then adds a pedicure. Does it cope?

That is exactly what happens in the recording on this page — and the second service is placed after the first ends, not over it. Adding something mid-call does not restart anything; the visit simply gets longer and the technician’s afternoon still adds up.

Gel and acrylic are not the same length. Does it hold the right one?

Each service has its own length, and it can differ per technician if that is true for you. What gets held in the book is the length that service actually takes, so a full acrylic set does not get squeezed into a half hour and eat the rest of the day.

Not everyone here does the same treatments. Will it respect that?

Yes. Who does what is part of what you described, and it only offers a technician who genuinely does that service. If the one the caller asked for does not, it says so and names the ones who do.

A lot of our clients are more comfortable in Cantonese or Spanish.

Then listen to this one. The caller opens in Cantonese and switches to Spanish partway through to add the pedicure — the receptionist follows both times without being asked, and both services still land in the book.

Can it just work as a booking assistant for the salon or a solo manicurist?

That is most of what it does on a nail call: it answers, holds the right length for the service asked for, and when the caller adds a second service it extends the visit instead of double-booking the hour. The booking, the technician and the confirmation code are all settled before anyone hangs up.
