Salon economics are unforgiving: every empty chair is lost revenue, and every mid-service ring is a choice between interrupting a client and missing a booking. A front desk helps when you have one. Many boutiques don't — the stylist is the front desk.

An AI receptionist for salons answers website chat, on-site AI voice, and your existing number — books cuts and treatments against your rules, and handles 'how long is a balayage?' style questions without pulling someone off the floor.

Evenings and Saturdays matter most. Clients browse after work. If you close at 7 and the line goes quiet at 6:30, a competitor with after-hours coverage may take next week's colour appointments.

ReceptionSit setup stays light: one call forward, services and durations configured in about 48 hours, 46 language variants if your neighbourhood needs them. Start with overflow after a few rings so you still catch what you can personally.

Owners who compare no-shows and new-client bookings for two weeks usually keep the forward on. Starter works for quieter books; Growth fits multi-chair shops with steady phone volume.
