Hair Salons & Barbers

AI call answering for hair salons and barbers

Answer the phone without stepping away from the chair

When your team is cutting, colouring or finishing a service, There247 can pick up. It captures what the caller needs and gets the details to the right person so your team can check the diary, answer a question or arrange a consultation.

What happens when a client calls?

Compare a request to move an existing appointment with a new colour enquiry. Open each format to see what your team would receive.

Move a root touch-up appointment

"Can I move my root touch-up to Saturday morning?"

There247 asks: Who are you booked with, and when is your current appointment? What is the best number for the salon to call you back on?

Captures: Stylist, service, existing appointment, preferred new time and callback number.

Next step: Send the request to the salon so the team can check Alex's diary and confirm any change with the client.

New client asks about going lighter

"I'd like to go lighter, but I've used box dye. Can I talk to someone about what might work?"

There247 asks: What result are you looking for, and is the box dye still in your hair? When is a good time for the colourist to call?

Captures: Desired result, colour history as described by the caller, preferred callback time and contact number.

Next step: Send the enquiry to the colourist to discuss options and arrange a consultation if appropriate.
