You can't take a booking call mid-color. Vera answers every call, books and reschedules appointments, and answers the price-list questions — while you stay with the client in front of you.
Every one of these is a customer someone else booked.
Stopping a cut or color to grab the phone is bad for the client in the chair — and not answering loses the one on the line.
Clients plan their week on Sunday evening. If they can't book until Tuesday morning, some will find a salon with open phones — or never call back.
Balayage vs. highlights, gel vs. acrylic, how long does a full set take — the same questions, all day, between clients.
A real AI receptionist — answers from your knowledge, books real appointments, and tells you everything.
Appointments are booked with conflict checks and synced to Google Calendar — cancellations and reschedules handled too.
Vera answers pricing, duration, and service questions straight from your menu — nothing invented.
Sunday 9pm bookings land on your calendar before Monday open.
Every caller gets an immediate, professional answer — even when all your staff are with clients.
Straight answers — the same ones Vera gives on the phone.
Yes. You define your services and durations, and Vera books them into open slots with automatic conflict checking against your existing appointments, synced to Google Calendar. A 3-hour color and a 30-minute trim get sized correctly.
Vera works from the booking rules and knowledge you set — including per-stylist notes if you add them. For requests that need human judgment, she takes a detailed message or arranges a callback, and texts you right away.
Receptionish plans start at $49/month for 30 calls, with larger plans at $99, $199, and $349 as your call volume grows. Every plan includes 24/7 answering, appointment booking, call recording and transcription, and spam filtering. There's also a free trial — 15 calls, no credit card required — so you can hear how it handles your real callers before paying anything.
No. You can forward your existing number to Receptionish — the number on your trucks, cards, and Google profile stays exactly the same — or we can provide a new local number if you prefer. Either way, setup takes minutes, not weeks.
No — this is the core of how Receptionish is built. The AI only answers from the knowledge base you give it (your services, prices, hours, policies). If a caller asks something it doesn't know, it says so honestly and offers to take a message, arrange a callback, or transfer the call to your team. It never invents prices, availability, or promises.
You get a full recording, a written transcript, and an AI summary of what the caller wanted — delivered to your dashboard and your email. You can also turn on text alerts, so a callback request or missed caller triggers an immediate SMS to your cell with the caller's name, number, and what they need.
