AI for Salons

Hands in someone's hair? Stakd books the next client.

You're with a client in the chair and the phone rings. That call is an appointment going to the next salon on Google.

Calls get answered. Your stylists can't drop the foils to grab a ringing phone or a 9 PM DM. Stakd answers in seconds and can reply to a text or a message while you focus on the client in front of you.

Built for salons. Custom-trained on your services, stylists, and prices.

The problem

A missed message is a new client lost.

Every chair is full, so the phone rings out and the DMs pile up. By the time someone gets to them, that client has already booked balayage at the salon two blocks over. The booking was there — it just had nobody to catch it.

The visit

Cuts, color, and regulars. Each visit is revenue, and most become repeat clients

After close

People decide to book while scrolling, after the salon is closed

82% of consumers say they'll call a competitor if you don't answer.

Stakd answers in seconds. Or in the DMs.

Sounds warm and human. Knows your services and prices. Books the appointment. Even at midnight. Even on Sunday.

What it does

Your front desk that never steps away.

Answers calls, texts & DMs

Answers in seconds, and replies on Instagram, Facebook, and text. Warm, on-brand, and natural-sounding.

Books the right stylist

Knows your services and prices, asks who they want and what they want, finds the open slot, helps get them on your calendar, and sends a confirmation text.

Fills the gaps

Can text a waitlist when a slot opens, can send a reminder, and can nudge a client who is due for their next color or trim.

The math

What the missed messages quietly cost

The call goes to someone else

You're on a job. If you don't pick up, that caller is already dialing the next company.

After hours is a dead line

Evenings, weekends, and holidays are when a lot of people finally have time to call. Voicemail doesn't get them on your calendar.

A ready lead goes cold

They reached out because they want it done. Waiting until you're free is long enough to lose them.

Results depend on your call volume, your prices, and your close rate. Run your numbers.

How we set it up

Three steps. We do all the work.

STEP 1

15-minute discovery call

We learn your services, your prices, your stylists, your hours, and how you like appointments booked.

STEP 2

We build your salon AI

Custom-trained on YOUR salon. Wired into your phone, DMs, and booking calendar. Tested end-to-end.

STEP 3

A full book, on autopilot

Calls get answered. DMs can get a reply. More open chairs get booked. While your stylists stay with their clients.

Pricing

Every quote is custom. Here's why.

A solo stylist with a booth and one chair needs a different setup than a 12-chair salon with three front-desk lines. We don't pretend otherwise.

Booking volumeMore calls & DMs = bigger build.
ChannelsCalls, text, Instagram, Facebook — pick what fits.
IntegrationsYour booking software & calendar — we wire it in.
Build complexityPer-stylist booking, multiple locations, etc.
No contracts. Month to month.
Salon questions

Everything you need to know.

The AI answers calls, texts, and DMs — even when every chair is full and nobody can reach the front desk. It checks real-time availability, asks which service and which stylist the client wants, books the slot, and sends a confirmation text. Your stylists never have to stop mid-color to grab the phone, and callers stop getting sent to voicemail.

Yes. So much salon booking starts in the DMs now — "Do you have anything Saturday?" or "How much for balayage?" The AI replies, day or night, answers questions about services and pricing, and turns the conversation into a booked appointment. No more leads going cold because nobody checked the inbox until tomorrow morning.

That's where it shines. Most people decide to book their hair when they're scrolling at 9 PM or on a Sunday when you're closed. The AI takes those after-hours requests, helps get the appointment on your calendar, and they wake up to a confirmation instead of forgetting they ever reached out. You capture the bookings that used to slip away overnight.

Yes. When a client cancels or you have an open hole in the day, the AI can text your waitlist and recent clients to offer that slot — and fill that slot before it turns into a stylist standing around with an empty chair. It also sends reminders before each appointment, which cuts down on the no-shows that quietly cost you the most.

Yes. We connect to the booking and calendar tools salons already use so the AI books straight into the system you check every morning — no duplicate calendar, no copying appointments over by hand. Your front desk and stylists see every booking in the same place they already work.

Then this matters even more. A common salon ad is "New-client special on your first visit." Every call and DM that ad generates costs you money — and if it lands while your team is mid-blowout and goes unanswered, you paid for that new client and then handed them to a competitor. The AI can answer in seconds and can reply to a DM.

It's all custom built, so our team will go over pricing with you on the strategy call.
