AI for Beauty & Wellness
Salons, spas, and wellness studios — your stylists should be behind the chair making money, not your front desk staff chasing no-shows and playing phone tag. AI handles booking, rebooking, social media, and retail so every chair stays full.
The average salon loses $67,000/year to no-shows. 30% of first-time clients never rebook. AI fixes both — automatically.

THE PROBLEM
Empty chairs cost you $200/hour
Beauty is a relationship business — but the operational side is stuck in 2010. Front desk staff fielding calls during a rush, scribbling appointments in a book, and forgetting to follow up on color clients who are 2 weeks overdue for a touch-up.
No-shows are the silent killer. Boulevard research shows the average salon loses $67,000 annually to clients who just don't show up. And it gets worse — 30% of first-time clients walk out the door and never come back because nobody followed up to rebook them.
Meanwhile, your retail products sit on the shelf because stylists are too busy (or too awkward) to pitch shampoo during a blowout. AI handles all of it — reminders, rebooking, product recs, and social media — without adding a single person to payroll.

WHAT WE AUTOMATE
AI built for how salons and spas actually run
Integrates with Boulevard, Vagaro, Fresha, Mindbody, and Square Appointments. No switching platforms.
Booking & Scheduling
24/7 Online Booking
Clients book anytime via your website, Instagram DMs, or text message. AI handles stylist matching, service duration, and processing time gaps automatically.
No-Show Prevention
Smart reminder sequence at 48hr, 24hr, and 2hr marks. One-tap confirm, reschedule, or cancel. Waitlist backfill when slots open up.
Multi-Stylist Scheduling
Each stylist gets their own managed calendar with service-specific time blocks, break preferences, and client history — all synced in real time.
Client Retention & Rebooking
Auto-Rebooking Sequences
AI texts clients at the right interval based on their service — 6 weeks for cuts, 4 weeks for color, 8 weeks for lash fills. Personalized, not spammy.
Win-Back Campaigns
Clients who haven't visited in 90+ days get a personalized message with a reason to come back — new stylist, seasonal treatment, or loyalty reward.
Birthday & Loyalty Programs
Automated birthday messages with special offers, plus a points-based loyalty system that tracks visits and spending without manual punch cards.
Social Media & Reputation
Instagram Content Scheduling
AI posts before/after photos, Reels captions, and stories on a consistent schedule. Tracks which content types drive the most bookings.
DM-to-Booking Conversion
When someone DMs "do you have availability?" AI responds with booking links, pricing, and stylist recommendations — converting followers into clients.
Review Management
Post-appointment review requests via text, real-time alerts on negative reviews, and suggested response templates that sound human.
Revenue & Retail
Product Upsell Automation
AI sends personalized product recommendations after each appointment based on services performed. Color client? Here's the color-safe shampoo text.
Replenishment Reminders
Tracks purchase history and sends "time to restock" messages when products are likely running low — driving repeat retail purchases without staff effort.
Stylist Utilization Reports
AI tracks chair utilization, average ticket size, and rebooking rate per stylist — showing exactly where revenue is leaking and how to fix it.
