AI Receptionist for Salons & Spas
The problem: You're cutting hair, doing nails, or running a spa treatment. The phone rings. You can't answer — you're with a client. That missed call is a missed booking worth €50–200. Multiply that by a few times per week and you're losing thousands per year.
The solution: An AI receptionist that answers calls, chats with website visitors, and books appointments while you work. Starting at €29/mo — less than one hour of a human receptionist's wage.

Salons and spas have unique scheduling challenges:
- Peak call times — lunch breaks and evenings when you're busiest
- Last-minute cancellations — need instant rebooking to fill slots
- Service questions — "Do you do balayage?" "How long is a gel manicure?"
- Multi-location — clients calling the wrong location
- No-show reduction — automated reminders via phone, text, or email
A human receptionist solves some of this — but costs €1,500–2,500/mo in Europe. Most independent salons can't afford that.
What Persona does for salons
1. Answers phone calls 24/7
Your AI receptionist picks up every call, even at 10 PM when someone finally remembers to book that haircut. It handles booking requests, service questions, cancellations and rescheduling, directions and hours, and waitlist management.
2. Chats on your website
Visitors browsing your services at midnight get instant answers. The same friendly face (your custom avatar) greets them and helps them book.
3. Handles email
"Do you have availability Saturday?" — answered instantly. The AI triages your inbox, drafts responses, and flags urgent messages for your attention.
4. Speaks your clients' language
Polish, Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese. Serve diverse clientele without hiring multilingual staff.
5. Uses your voice (optional)
Clone your voice or your best front desk person's voice. Clients hear a familiar, friendly tone — not a generic robot.
6. Syncs with your calendar
Calendly, Google Calendar, Acuity — whichever you use. The AI books directly into your schedule and sends confirmations.

Frequently asked questions
Can it handle complex scheduling?
Yes — buffer times between appointments, double-booking rules, service duration by type, and staff-specific calendars.
What about walk-ins?
The AI can check real-time availability and offer next available slots, converting "maybe later" into booked appointments.
Can it send reminders?
Yes — automated SMS, email, or voice call reminders to reduce no-shows.
Will clients know it's AI?
Persona requires ethical AI disclosure — but with voice cloning and natural conversation, most clients won't mind. They care about convenience and accuracy.
Does Persona work for multi-location chains?
Yes — the Business plan supports multiple avatars and routing rules so each location has its own front desk while sharing one back-end.
