AI receptionist for salons
Your hands are in someone's hair when the phone rings. It answers, quotes the cut, books the client with their stylist and leaves you with the client in the chair.
Or book a demo
A client who can only come on Sunday. Listen to it find the slot with Alicia.
The calls a salon misses with a client in the chair
An AI receptionist for a hair salon answers calls while stylists are working, quotes services from your price list, books appointments with the requested stylist for the right length of time, insists on a consultation before color or chemical services, recognises returning clients and passes complaints to the owner. With Allo it costs one $32 seat a month, less than one missed color appointment.
Bookings with a stylist
It books the service for its real length with the stylist the client asked for, and offers someone else only if you allow it.
"How much is…?"
Cut and finish, balayage, a beard trim: quoted from your menu, with "from" prices where the hair decides.
Regulars and rebooking
A regular who called last week is recognised and put back with their usual stylist without spelling their name twice.

Yes. Give each stylist their own calendar and tell the receptionist who does what. It books the client with the stylist they ask for, and only offers someone else when you allow it.
It does not book directly into salon software. It books into Google Calendar, Outlook, Cal.com or Calendly, or takes the request and your front desk books it. Many salons sync their salon software to Google Calendar so the receptionist sees real availability.
Yes. The receptionist is the same; you change the service menu, the lengths and who does what in its instructions.
The AI receptionist takes one Business seat: $32 a month billed yearly, or $45 month to month. That is the whole bill for it, with no per-minute meter, so a busy week costs the same as a quiet one. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. A human answering service typically charges $1,000 or more a month. Compare AI receptionists.
Yes. You can port your number to Allo and keep it, or keep it where it is and forward calls to your Allo line, for example only when nobody picks up or after hours. Callers dial the number they already know.
Minutes. You write its instructions in plain words, point it at your website so it learns your services and hours, connect your calendar and choose who it hands calls to. You can also set it up from Claude or ChatGPT with the Allo MCP, just by asking.
