Questions owners ask

What happens if a client requests an unavailable stylist?

The assistant immediately suggests the next available opening for that stylist or offers alternative senior stylists free at the requested time.

Can the AI handle multiple services in one visit?

Yes. It accurately sequences services (such as haircut + root touch-up) and accounts for chemical processing time without double-booking the station.

Does this replace my front desk receptionist?

No. It takes the repetitive booking and price-check load off the receptionist so they can focus on in-salon client hospitality, upsells, and checkouts.
