Opening a salon or barbers?
The best time to sort the messages, bookings and posts is before they pile up. I'll set up what a new salon or barbers needs from day one, in your name, and show you it working before your first customer.
Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.
Set up right, from day one.
A website from day one
A fast site with booking and enquiries built in, on a domain in your name. Yours once it's paid for.
From day oneLive before you open, so customers can find you and book.
Fewer no-shows
Reminder texts with an easy way to move an appointment, so gaps can be refilled.
From day oneReady for your first bookings, so the diary runs itself from week one.
Bookings while your hands are busy
Online booking, plus answers to the usual questions about prices, times and parking, by phone, WhatsApp or Instagram.
From day oneA diary that works properly from the very first week.
Rebooking nudges
A friendly message when clients are due their next appointment, so your diary stays full.
From day oneBuilt in from the start, so customers come back without you chasing.
Records ready for tax
Receipts photographed and logged in software that's ready for Making Tax Digital. Your accountant, or you, does the tax.
From day oneTidy records from the first sale, so the year end isn't a shoebox of receipts.

After closing
Instead of answering Instagram messages on the sofa, the common questions are answered for you and bookings land in your diary. You check what's new in the morning.
Saturday's the busiest day in every Colchester salon. The fewer messages you answer between clients, the better the day goes.

Read the call
- Amy Hi, thanks for calling Plum and Pearl Hair in Witham. I'm Amy, Remi's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Remi gets your message. How can I help?
- Caller Hiya. Um, I've got a cut and colour on Saturday at eleven, but work have just changed my shifts. I'm so sorry. It's Megan Ashby.
- Amy Don't worry at all, Megan. Let's find you a new time. I'll just check the diary.
- Amy Remi can do Thursday at half five, or next Saturday at ten.
- Caller Next Saturday at ten would be amazing.
- Amy Lovely, that's booked. As your last colour was over six months ago, Remi asks for a quick patch test two days before. Could you pop in this week?
- Caller Oh, okay. Wednesday after work?
- Amy Yes, the salon's open till seven on Wednesdays. I'll text you both times now, with a link in case anything else changes.
- Caller Thank you. I was dreading ringing.
- Amy No need at all. Your old slot's gone to the waiting list, so someone else is happy too. See you Wednesday, Megan.
