Clients book with their own stylist at half past ten at night, get a reminder a day before, and are asked to rate the stylist afterwards. Stylists see their schedule and their commission, the receptionist sees the free slots, the owner sees revenue and workload. For salons, barbershops, aesthetic clinics, nail bars, massage and spa.
Not on advertising, but on empty slots, forgotten bookings and stylists who leave taking the client list with them.
This is how an ordinary visit runs once the system is configured for a salon.
Booking, reminders, memberships, stock and the till run every day in organisations where clients book with specific practitioners. For a salon we configure the naming, the services and the rules.
Most messages arrive in the evening, once the receptionist has gone home. An AI receptionist answers immediately — from your prices, services and rules, not from the model's imagination — and takes the person through to a booking.
A separate project on top of the system: a text AI agent from $900, launch in 14–25 days. If most bookings come by phone, a voice agent from $3,000. Model usage is billed separately and depends on the volume of conversations.
For a single stylist with no receptionist, or a two-chair salon, an off-the-shelf booking service is a sensible choice, and we will say so. Your own system earns its place in a salon or a chain with many stylists, retail sales and its own pay rules.

| Time to start | An evening | From 45 days, with configuration and base migration |
In short: up to three stylists and booking only — take the off-the-shelf service. More stylists, several locations, retail sales, your own rules — let us talk.

A pilot for the first salons. We are looking for two or three salons or barbershops to launch the system with, on a real schedule. You get special terms, we get a reference and permission to show the result. We will name the terms on the first call.
Better to hear "no" now than in week three.
Tell us how many stylists and locations you have, whether you sell products, and where you take bookings today. That is enough for us to name a price and a timeline. The first conversation is 30 minutes and free.
