Incoming Call...

Client

"Hi, I need a gel manicure and pedicure. Do you have any openings tomorrow?"

AI Receptionist

"Yes! I have 2 PM available with Alex. That's 90 minutes for gel mani-pedi—$85. Should I book you?"

✓ Appointment Booked • Tomorrow 2 PM

The Problem

NAIL SALONS
LOSE CLIENTS EVERY DAY

You're losing bookings every day while your chairs sit empty. Clients call during appointments, no-shows waste your time, and your team can't keep up with the phone. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

A client wants a gel manicure for tomorrow at 9 PM, calls, and gets no answer. By the time you finish your current appointment and check your phone, they've already booked with the salon down the street that answered.

The Cost
$3,600/month
Lost per empty chair

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're doing a full set of acrylics, three more calls come in. Booking requests, pricing questions, walk-in inquiries—you can't be everywhere at once. Clients get frustrated waiting on hold, and you lose appointments.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per busy salon

Appointments No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You hold a chair open, turn away walk-ins, and wait. They don't show up. You send one reminder text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty chair losing you money.
