AI Receptionist for Salons

An AI receptionist for salons that books while you style

Your stylists are mid-cut when the phone rings. Clutchphone answers every call, books the right service with the right stylist, and keeps your book full.

The problem

Why salons & barbershops miss calls

Every unanswered call is a client, patient, or job that might go to a competitor. Here's where phones break down for salons & barbershops.

Stylists can't answer mid-service

Calls interrupt services or go to voicemail and get lost.

Booking the wrong service time

Color, balayage, and extensions need very different time blocks.

Late cancellations

Open chairs from cancellations are hard to fill.

How It Works

From first call to fully live

We handle the build and the integrations. Your team just shows up for the kickoff and the review.

  1. 01

    Discovery call on Zoom

    We map how calls come into your salon, your call types and volume, and the systems the AI needs to read from and write to.

  2. 02

    We build & integrate

    We train your agent on your services, policies, and FAQs and connect it to your scheduling, CRM, and phone lines. Keep your existing numbers.

  3. 03

    Test, then go live

    Start with one line, overflow, or after-hours calls. We listen to real calls, refine responses and actions, then roll out.

  4. 04

    Optimize continuously

    Call analytics show what callers need. We keep tuning the agent and adding new actions as your workflows evolve.
