AI Wing for
Nail Salons

Your salon is loud, busy, and focused on artistry. When the phone rings, it's often ignored. You lose potentially 10-20 appointments a day because customers want an instant answer and move to the 'book now' option on Google.

How AI Transforms Your Day-to-Day

Scenario 01

The Pedicure Group

Someone wanting colors and 3 pedicures at 6 PM for Saturday texts your salon while it's packed with walk-ins.

Outcome

AI checks for back-to-back availability across your techs, confirms the group count, explains your group-booking policy, and secures the slot in 60 seconds. Your staff never has to leave their tables.

Scenario 02

The Art Inquiry

A client sends a complex nail art photo and asks 'Can you do this and how much?' at 9 PM.

Outcome

AI identifies the style (e.g., '3D Gel French'), provides a pricing range based on your tier, and asks the client to book a 'Level 3 Art' slot. It saves the artist from 10 minutes of manual quoting.
