An AI receptionist built for hair salons
Your hands are in someone's hair. The phone rings. By the time you've rinsed and dried, they've booked somewhere else.
Keep your number. Cancel anytime.
- Assistant:
Bloom Salon, this is your assistant — how can I help?
- Caller:
Hi, do you have anything for a balayage next week?
It knows what your callers mean
Nobody rings up and asks for the name on your price list. Clayta matches what people actually say to the right service and duration.
The call you can never take
The phone always rings mid-colour, with three hours of processing time still to go. That's the one Clayta is for.
Answers while you work
Books cut and finish, full colour, balayage and the rest of your list, without you putting anything down.
Answers what you get asked
Prices, hours, how long cut and finish takes — it answers from what you've told it, and takes a message rather than guessing when it hasn't been told.
Answers after you've closed
You're open maybe 50 hours a week. There are 168. A call at nine on a Sunday either becomes a booking or becomes somebody else's.
Hear how it sounds
Caller — Hi, um, do you have anything for a cut and colour on Thursday?
She picks a time, then changes it halfway through. It follows her.
Booking, and changing her mind
Caller — Hi, um, do you have anything for a cut and colour on Thursday?
Clayta — Thursday I've got ten fifteen with Marcus, or two thirty with Sally.
Caller — Two thirty. Oh, actually, could we do Friday instead? Thursday's a bit tight.
Clayta — Of course. Friday I have eleven, or quarter past three, both with Sally.
Caller — Eleven's perfect.
Clayta — Lovely, you're booked. It's on the calendar for you.
The hard part of a booking call isn't the booking — it's the caller changing their mind after you've written it down.

Questions from salons
Can it tell the difference between a trim and a full restyle?
Yes, if you have told it the difference. It matches what the caller says to a service on your list and books the duration you set for it, so a root touch-up does not get booked into a fifteen minute slot. Where a caller is vague — "something different" — it books a consultation rather than guessing at three hours of colour.
What about processing time — can it book someone into my gap?
It books against your real calendar, so a gap is only offered if your calendar says it is free. If you block processing time as busy, it will not book over it. If you leave it open because you take a quick dry cut in that window, it will.
My clients ask for a specific stylist. Does it handle that?
Yes. Staff come across from Square with the services each of them does, so a caller asking for Sally by name is offered Sally's availability rather than the shop's.
