AI Receptionist for Salons, Spas & Wellness

When stylists' hands are in foil or therapists are in treatment, the phone goes to voicemail. We book every appointment automatically. Salons, med spas, and wellness centers operate in high-touch environments where staff cannot step away from treatments to answer phone calls. DigitalX installs conversational AI receptionists that handle booking requests, answer pricing questions, check stylist availability, and send booking deposit links 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions for Salons, Spas & Wellness Clinics

Can the AI take booking deposits to prevent no-shows?
Yes. Once the AI agrees on a booking slot with the caller, it reserves the chair in your booking calendar and immediately sends an SMS containing a secure payment link (via Stripe or your booking software) to collect the required deposit.
Does it integrate with Timely, Fresha, or Phorest?
Yes. We integrate with Timely, Fresha, Phorest, Mindbody, and GoHighLevel. The AI checks real-time stylist availability, avoids double-bookings, and schedules buffer times for cleanup.
What if a client needs a patch test before a hair color or laser service?
The AI is configured to recognize chemical and laser treatments that require 48-hour allergy patch tests, informing the client of the requirement and scheduling the quick patch test prior to their main service.
Can callers ask about service pricing and package inclusions?
Yes. We program the AI with your exact service menu, starting price points (e.g. 'Balayage packages start from $280 depending on hair length and toner requirements'), and retail product offerings.
