Stop losing clients to missed calls during services. Our AI receptionist books manicures, pedicures, acrylics, and gel nails 24/7—while you focus on creating beautiful nails.
Why every missed call costs your salon money
Between clients in chairs and polish on your hands, answering every call is impossible
When your nail technicians are mid-service with acrylic powder or gel polish on their hands, answering phones is impossible. Every missed call is a potential $50-$150 appointment walking to a competitor.
Juggling walk-in requests while managing the phone and existing appointments creates confusion. Clients get frustrated waiting without clear time estimates, and you lose bookings to the salon next door.
Clients want their favorite nail tech for their acrylics or nail art. Manually checking multiple schedules while a client waits on hold leads to lost bookings and frustrated customers.
From incoming call to booked appointment in under 2 minutes
Sarah calls Saturday at 2 PM wanting a gel manicure with her favorite technician.
AI receptionist captures service request (gel mani), preferred tech (Jessica), and availability.
Checks Jessica's schedule, offers Tuesday 4 PM, and books the 45-minute gel manicure.
Sends text confirmation with appointment details. Automated reminder 24 hours before.
"Thank you for calling Glamour Nails! I'm your virtual receptionist. Are you calling to book an appointment, ask about our services, or check on an existing booking?"
"Hi, I'd like to book a gel manicure with Jessica, preferably this week."
"Perfect! Jessica does beautiful gel work. Let me check her availability... She has openings Tuesday at 4 PM and Thursday at 11 AM this week. A gel manicure runs about 45 minutes and is $45. Which time works better for you?"
"Tuesday at 4 works great!"
"Wonderful! I've booked your gel manicure with Jessica for Tuesday at 4 PM. You'll receive a confirmation text shortly. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"

It remembers client-technician preferences for future bookings.
When callers ask about walk-in availability, the AI receptionist monitors your real-time schedule and provides accurate wait time estimates.
