For salons, barbers and appointment businesses

Practical AI tools that help keep bookings moving

Start with one useful setup project for booking messages, reminders, rebooking, phone notes or customer follow-ups. Add monthly support only if it becomes part of how the business works.

Fixed-price setup first

Build the first version, then decide what comes next

Small first builds usually sit between £149 and £499. Larger setup projects and optional monthly support are scoped clearly before anything starts.

Bookings should not depend on being glued to your phone

Help customers get the right appointment without adding more admin

Salons and service businesses often lose time to repeated messages, missed calls, unclear appointment requests and last-minute changes. A small AI assistant or booking tool can collect useful details, suggest next steps and keep reminders moving while your team stays in control.

What can be built

Simple tools for appointment-based businesses

Start with the booking problem that causes the most interruptions. A first version can be small, affordable and built around the way your business already works.

Where time gets lost

Booking jobs that can be made lighter

Most appointment businesses do not need a big system. They need practical help with the repeated messages and small gaps that cause lost bookings or extra admin.

Repeated questions

Draft replies about prices, availability, treatments, deposits, parking or opening times.

Missing information

Ask for the right service, date, time, contact details or preparation notes before staff step in.

No-show reduction

Send clearer reminders, deposit prompts and follow-up messages without manual chasing.

Rebooking prompts

Help customers book their next appointment at the right time after a visit.

Private AI admin help

A private admin assistant for bookings and back-office jobs

If the front-of-house messages are only part of the problem, a private assistant can also help with the admin behind the scenes such as customer notes, follow-ups, files and repeated replies.

  • Summarise booking enquiries
  • Draft replies for staff to review
  • Organise client notes and documents
  • Prepare simple weekly admin summaries

The assistant can prepare and organise the work, while you stay in control of anything important before it is sent, changed or approved.

How it helps

It can reduce the repeated message and admin work around appointments, so staff spend less time rewriting the same things and more time looking after customers.

Setup first, support if useful

What does it cost?

Small first builds: £149-£499.

Start with one automation, assistant, dashboard, form or reminder process built around a real booking problem.

Larger setup projects, such as a fuller booking workflow, enquiry system or multi-step reminder process, usually sit between £500 and £1,500+. Monthly support is optional and can cover agreed running costs, usage, monitoring, fixes and improvement time once the tool becomes part of day-to-day work.

How it works:

  1. Pick one booking problem
  2. Build a fixed-price first version
  3. If it proves useful, decide whether monthly support makes sense

No forced contracts. Start small, prove it helps, then decide whether ongoing support makes sense.

Optional monthly support

Support for booking tools that keep getting used

The setup gets the first version working. Support keeps the agreed tool running and looked after when prices change, services change, staff need different wording, reminders need tuning or customer questions shift over time.

Light Support

£149/month

Basic running and agreed usage cover, minor updates, small fixes, wording changes and occasional support.

Managed Support

£499/month

More active help running the tool, agreed usage cover, priority support, regular workflow improvements and more involved monthly input.

Monthly support is optional. It is there when the tool needs to stay live, handle agreed usage, be monitored and keep improving without you managing the technical side yourself.

Start with one problem

Ask about a booking setup project

You do not need a full brief. Describe the booking messages, phone calls, reminders, rebooking problem or customer enquiry issue that wastes time, and I will suggest a practical setup project or a simpler next step.

No pressure. Start with one booking problem and decide later whether support makes sense.
