AI & automation for hair salons & beauty services operators.
Independent salons and beauty service operators (hair, nails, lash, skincare) live on rebooking rate and the personal relationships behind it. The shops winning don't have the best chairs — they have the best client retention. Our work in this space is almost always about giving the stylist or owner-operator a tool that does the 'remember to text Sarah about her color in 5 weeks' work without making it feel automated.
The salons & beauty operators we work with
- Independent salons with 1-10 chairs
- Solo stylists, lash artists, nail techs, estheticians
- Booth-rental and commission-based salon owners
- Multi-service beauty businesses (hair + nails + skin)
The four highest-cost workflows in salons & beauty
Three surgical tools that ship in weeks, not months
Personalized rebooking nudge
Client's specific service interval (6 weeks for color, 4 for trim, 8 for full lash) triggers an SMS at the right cadence. Feels like the stylist remembered, runs automatically.
- Time
- 2-3 weeks
- Price
- $1,200-$3,000
Instagram-to-booking funnel
DMs answered with a structured booking prompt + link. Stylist stops triaging DMs between clients; serious inquiries land in the schedule.
- Time
- 2-3 weeks
- Price
- $1,500-$3,500
No-show recovery sequencer
Confirmation 48hrs out + 24hrs out + 2hrs out, with one-tap reschedule for clients who can't make it. Reduces no-shows and last-minute cancels without feeling pushy.
- Time
- 1-2 weeks
- Price
- $800-$2,000
We integrate — we don't replace
- Vagaro, Mindbody, or Square Appointments

Common questions from salons & beauty owners
- Will you replace Vagaro or Mindbody?
- No. Those handle the appointment core well. We build around them — Instagram automation, personalized rebooking nudges, no-show recovery. Most of our automation talks to Vagaro/Mindbody via their APIs.
- Do you work with solo stylists and booth renters?
- Yes. Solo operators benefit the most from automation because every hour saved is an hour they could be earning revenue or taking off. We size the build to a solo operator's revenue.
- Can you help with Instagram?
- On the booking-conversion side, yes — DMs to structured booking funnel, post-engagement to rebooking nudge. We don't do content strategy or actual posting (different specialist domain).
- What about commission tracking for salon owners?
- Yes, especially for shops with mixed booth-rent and commission stylists. Most existing tools are clunky here; a clean commission summary per stylist is one of the easier wins.
