It picks up while your stylists are mid-appointment: takes booking requests with the service, preferred stylist and times, answers questions about services, prices and your cancellation policy, and transfers to the front desk when a client asks.
It collects the service, a preferred stylist if they have one, the days and times that work, and the client's name and number, then tells them the salon will confirm.
From your own service list, price list and policies. It won't make up a price or a treatment you don't offer.
It doesn't tell a client a stylist or time is free. Your team confirms, so nobody is double-booked by the phone.
For skin reactions, allergies or pregnancy questions it suggests a patch test or asking their doctor, instead of guessing.
Actions, data tables and webhooks come with every plan, Free included. The call log and Inbox come with a phone number.
Every request lands in the Inbox as a record with the service, stylist, preferred times, name and number, ready for your front desk to confirm.
Keep services and prices in a table the agent reads on calls, so a price change is one edit.
