A salon answering service that keeps chairs full
Hailey is an AI receptionist for salons that answers every call 24/7 — built specifically for stylist-matched booking, last-minute cancellation backfill, and after-hours lead capture.
Answers Every Call Instantly
Picks up in under a second — even on Saturday at 11 AM when every chair is full and your stylists are doing color.
Books with the Right Stylist
Schedules haircuts, color, balayage, perms, nails, and barbering with the stylist the client requests — or your matching algorithm for new clients.
Captures New-Client Preferences
Asks hair type, length, previous color history, preferred stylist gender, and budget — your stylist walks into a pre-briefed appointment.
Fills Cancellations from Waitlist
When a chair opens, Hailey works your waitlist or reaches out to next-priority clients — protecting daily revenue without your team lifting a finger.
Pitches Memberships & Packages
Configurable membership upsells, package pricing, and seasonal promos — turning one-time bookings into recurring revenue.
Always On
Open 24/7/365. The bride researching salons at 10 PM books her trial instead of moving to the next salon on Yelp.
Built for salon front desks
Every booking situation your team faces — handled automatically, around the clock.
Regular Client Booking
Existing client wants her usual stylist next Tuesday. Hailey checks the schedule, books with the right stylist, and sends a confirmation text — fifteen seconds, zero front-desk time.
New Client Discovery
First-time caller wants balayage. Hailey captures hair history, length, color goals, and budget — books the new-client appointment with the right stylist for the work.
Multi-Service Booking
Client wants haircut + color + manicure for the same visit. Hailey coordinates the stylist and nail tech availability, books the combined appointment, and adds the right buffer.
Cancellation Backfill
11 AM color cancels at 9. Hailey works the waitlist, books the next priority client by 9:30, and protects the day's collections.
Bridal Trial Booking
Bride researching for August wedding. Hailey books the trial, captures the wedding date, and sets up the day-of schedule with the right team.
After-Hours Walk-In Inquiry
Caller wants tomorrow morning. Hailey checks the schedule, books the open slot, and sends pre-visit prep — locked in before they call the salon next door.

Book Your Demo →Hailey vs. the alternatives
Live answering services don't know your stylist roster. Voicemail loses clients to whoever answers first. Hailey does both jobs better, at a fraction of the cost.
