Book more chairs — even when your stylists can't reach the phone

An AI receptionist that answers calls and texts in your salon's own voice, books into the software you already run, and covers after-hours and weekends — so the client who'd have hit voicemail books a chair instead.

"Any chance you can fit me in for a cut before the wedding?"

Booked — Cut & style, Sat 10:00 AMAnswered & booked by your AI receptionist

The moment you lose the booking

You can serve the chair, or answer the phone. Not both.

Mid-colour on a Saturday, the phone rings up front and nobody's free to grab it. By the time you've rinsed off, it's voicemail — and most callers never leave one. They just scroll down and dial the next salon on Princess Street.

When the phone just rings
  • Rings with no one free to answer
  • Caller hits voicemail — and won't leave one
  • Sunday-night requests sit unread till Monday
  • A last-minute cancel leaves an empty chair
  • They book the salon that picked up
With New Day Automation
  • Answered on the first ring, around the clock
  • Booked into Fresha, Booksy, Square or GlossGenius
  • After-hours & weekend requests captured
  • Cancellations auto-filled from your waitlist
  • In your salon's voice — you approve it first

What it actually does

Your front desk, for every call you can't get to

It answers your real phone line and texts — out loud and in writing, in your salon's name. Not a chatbot box waiting for someone to type.

Answers calls & texts

Picks up the line and replies to messages — 24/7, in your voice.

Books into your software

Fresha, Booksy, Square, GlossGenius — the calendar you already trust.

Covers after-hours

Evenings, Sundays, holidays — the gaps where bookings quietly leak.

Fills cancellations

Reaches into your waitlist and offers the freed-up slot — no empty chair.

Handles the FAQs

Hours, pricing, parking — answered without pulling you from a colour.

You approve the voice

Nothing goes live until you've heard it and signed off on the tone.

The question everyone asks

Will it sound like a robot?

No "please state the nature of your appointment." You shape the greeting, the voice, and the tone — and nothing answers a real client until you've heard it and approved it. When it hits something it doesn't know — a tricky colour-correction, a complaint — it doesn't guess. It takes a clear message or routes the call to you, so a client never gets a wrong answer in your salon's name. And because you work with the person who builds it, a tweak is a text away, not a ticket number.

You approve the voice before it ever goes live

Built here

Built for Kingston & Eastern Ontario salons

In a market this size, reputation travels fast and word-of-mouth fills your chairs — you can't be the salon people remember for not picking up. Princess Street is the grooming spine of the city, and the demand here moves in waves the rest of the country doesn't see the same way. This is built by someone who knows them.

How it works

Three steps, no long contract

1

Free 15-minute call

We map where you're losing chairs and whether automation is even the right fix. If it isn't, you'll hear that straight.

2

Build week

It's set up around your menu, your stylists, your hours and your booking system — by the same person you talked to.

3

You review, then switch on

Nothing goes live until you've approved it. Flip it on and it starts catching the calls that slipped past.

No long contracts. You keep your current booking software, and you stay in control of the voice. If it isn't quietly paying for itself in chairs you'd otherwise lose, it shouldn't be there.

Straight answers

Questions, answered straight

Will this replace my front desk or my receptionist?

No — it supports them. It catches overflow, after-hours requests, and the calls nobody's free to grab. Your people stay for the part that keeps clients coming back: the welcome, the chair-side chat, the consultation.

Do I have to switch booking software?

No. It books into Fresha, Booksy, Square, GlossGenius, or whatever you already run. You don't move tools and your clients don't learn anything new.

What happens when it can't answer something?

It doesn't guess. It takes a clear message or routes the call to you, so a client never gets a wrong answer in your salon's name.

Will it sound like my salon?

Yes — and you approve the voice, the greeting, and the tone before it ever goes live. If it's not right, it doesn't launch.

How much is it, and is there a long contract?

Pricing gets sorted on the free call, once we both know your setup — there's no point quoting blind. No long contracts. And if it's not the right fix for you, you'll be told.

Can it handle texts and Instagram DMs, not just calls?

Calls and texts are the core of it. We'll talk through which channels your clients actually use on the call, so booking requests stop slipping through the cracks between them.

I'm a one-chair salon outside Kingston — is this for me?

Especially you. Solo operators with no front desk lose the most bookings to a ringing phone, because there's no one else to answer it. This covers Amherstview, Napanee, Gananoque, Bath, and the wider corridor.

New day. New system.

Stop losing Saturday's bookings to the salon down the street

The call is free, it's 15 minutes, and there's no pitch trap — if automation isn't right for your salon, you'll hear it straight. And you'll be talking to the person who'd actually build it, here in Eastern Ontario.
