AI employees for Hair Salons & Barbershops
5 AI employees purpose-built for salons. Each one is trained on your services, pricing, and customer workflows.
Industry insight
Hair salons report that up to 40% of appointment bookings are requested outside business hours — evenings and weekends when stylists are off the floor and phones go unanswered.
How it works
When a client DMs your salon on Instagram asking about availability, your AI employee checks each stylist's live calendar, confirms pricing for the requested service, and books the appointment in under 60 seconds — without interrupting anyone mid-cut. The client gets a confirmation with their stylist's name, the appointment time, and an automated reminder the day before.
