An AI receptionist for hair salons is an automated 24/7 phone assistant. It engages beauty clients, determines haircut vs. complex color/extensions intent, gathers hair history criteria, and routes pre-qualified guests to front-desk staff.

Why hair studios lose $26,000+ in lost chair revenue. Clients seeking balayage or extension transformations book elsewhere if calls go to voicemail.
