AI Receptionist

Answers the phone after hours.

The call the desk used to miss now gets booked.

A real AI voice takes the call, handles the whole visit and writes it straight into the diary — while the salon sleeps.

01What it does on the callA real conversation, not a phone tree
A real voice

Understands real callers.

Full-duplex speech means natural turn-taking — it can be interrupted, it hears past accents, speakerphone and background noise, and it switches language mid-call. No menus, no "press 1", never on hold.

Why it works

The live voice normalises garbled speech before the brain ever books a thing.

Caller
Hiya, is there any chance of a cut and blow dry Saturday?
Reception
Of course — with Federico at Chelsea, I've a 2:15 or a 4:30 on Saturday. Which suits?
Caller · switching to Italian
Il pomeriggio, grazie.
Reception
Lovely — the 4:30 it is. Shall I pop you in?
The whole visit

Books hair and nails as one visit.

It composes a real visit, not a single slot — nails while the colour develops, two specialists staggered, a group split across chairs. Every service is checked for who's actually free, then captured as one booking.

Built from real calls

Grounded in 46 real reception calls where a salon visit was more than one thing.

Caller
Could I do colour, and maybe a manicure at the same time?
Reception
Yes — I can have your nails done while the colour develops. Sofia for the manicure, Federico on your colour.
Reception
One visit, both together — you're out for the same time.
Honest on price

Handles the pushback — never invents a price.

Too dear? It offers a genuine cheaper service and the exact difference. Cancelling last-minute? It reads back the real appointment and reschedules. On anything to do with money or fees, it never decides — it takes a message for the team.

A hard rule

Card numbers are blocked before any model sees them; money is never settled on the call.

Caller
£120 for balayage is a bit much for me, honestly.
Reception
I understand. A gloss and blow dry gives a lovely refresh at £75 — that's £45 less. Would you like that instead?
Caller
Go on then, yes.
Grounded, not guessing

Only offers slots that are really free.

Every time it's asked, it answers from a live read of the diary — the right stylist for the service, their rota, their breaks. And at the moment of booking it re-checks that exact slot. If it's gone, you get an honest line and the next option — never a blind booking.

Owner-tuned

Its playbook was shaped call-by-call from the owner's own test calls.

02Part of one systemEverything writes to Daviana

The core · read & write

It doesn't take a message. It books.

The receptionist isn't a bolt-on answering service. It reads and writes the same record every other SalonForge product uses — Daviana, the diary.

Daviana

One client. One diary. One record.

The caller's number resolves to their client record before it even says hello — so it knows they've been in before. The booking lands in the diary, and the call itself becomes a note on the client's record: what was said, what was booked, what the team needs to follow up.

Our addition

The call that used to vanish now leaves a written trail on the client's record.
