An AI chatbot on your salon website answers common client questions automatically — services, hours, your booking link — at any hour. So the client who researches you at 8am Saturday books an appointment instead of moving to the next salon.
Appointment booking questions make up most of salon inbound call volume. A chatbot handles services and booking-process questions so your stylists stay focused.
Why salons lose clients before they ever walk in
A potential client messages you at 11am on a Saturday asking about balayage and whether you have openings. You don't see it until 4pm. By then she's booked somewhere else.
Hours. Walk-ins. Services. Cancellation policy. These questions cost you a big chunk of your daily communication time — answered over and over, to different people, on five different platforms.
A potential new client visits your site before you arrive. She wants to know about balayage and how to book. Without an answer, she moves to the next salon on her list.
Someone decides at 9pm they want to book a haircut this week. They find your site, can't get answers, and book with the salon that responded right away. You never knew she was there.
How it works
Services, hours, your cancellation policy — the chatbot knows what's on your website and the details you give us.
"Balayage usually takes about 3 hours. You can book online here — here's our booking link." Answered at 8am Saturday before you arrive. Answered at 9pm Sunday. Always.
The client who would have navigated away follows your booking link or leaves her name and number. You get an emailed summary — no chasing, no missed messages.
The math
A new salon client who visits regularly is worth real annual revenue. If the chatbot converts one additional client per month who would have otherwise navigated away — someone who visited at 8am Saturday before you opened, someone who got answers right away instead of waiting for a callback — it can pay for itself quickly.
Most salons with any website traffic see steady visitors every week. Converting even a small fraction of those off-hours visits into booked appointments is meaningful revenue that was previously leaving unanswered.
Front Office plans
Every plan is $297 to set up, then monthly. Month-to-month, cancel any time. Buy online, fill out one form, and see your preview within 5 business days. No sales call.
What the receptionist doesn't do: it doesn't book appointments, quote prices or connect to calendars or CRMs. It takes the caller's details so you can call back.
Cancelling and refunds:cancel any time and you aren't billed again; there are no partial-month refunds. The setup fee is returned only if you cancel before you submit the intake form. If we don't deliver what the terms describe, tell us within 30 days of the charge and we fix it, or refund the affected charge if we can't. Read the refund policy and plan terms before you buy.
Sold and supported by Anchor Co Media, our sister brand. Payment is handled by Stripe.
Hours, services, your booking process, cancellation policy, stylist specialties, walk-in policy, and anything else you share with us. Most salon owners give us their services page, FAQ, and a few custom questions about their specific policies.
The chatbot can point clients to your booking page link (Acuity, Square Appointments, Vagaro, StyleSeat or similar). It does not connect to or sync with booking software and does not book appointments itself.
No. The chatbot is trained on your salon's details — it responds like a knowledgeable front-desk team member, not a FAQ page.
Answered right away. A client who visits your site at 9pm on Sunday gets real answers right then — not a 'we'll get back to you' that arrives the next morning. That's often the difference between a booked client and a lost one.
No contract. One plan, Front Office: $297 one-time setup, then $99/month for the website, $179 with the AI chat, or $249 with the AI receptionist too (300 answered minutes a month, no overage fees). Month-to-month, cancel any time.
$297 one-time setup, then month-to-month from $99. Cancel any time.

See it before you buy it
No slideshow, no actor. A screen recording of our own assistant handling the two questions every owner asks: what happens to the 9pm call I miss, and will it invent things about my business.
Real answers from our live demo bot — unscripted, recorded on this site.
Visitor: I run an HVAC company. A customer calls at 9pm and I can't pick up — what happens?
Anchor Co AI: Right now? They hit voicemail and you've lost them to whoever picks up first. With our chatbot, they hit your website at 9pm, ask “Do you do emergency service?” or “Are you licensed in my county?” — and get an instant answer. The bot captures their name, number, and address. You wake up to a lead instead of a missed call. That's the whole thing: your customers get answers 24/7, you only deal with the calls that actually need you, and you're not losing jobs to competitors who answer faster. Since you're in HVAC, the bot can handle all the common questions — licensing by county, service area, whether you do emergency calls, minimum job size, how long estimates take. You train it on your website in about 10 minutes, and it goes live in an afternoon. Want to try it? You can start free at anchorcoai.com/signup — no credit card required. Test it on your actual website for 14 days and see if it captures leads you would've missed.
Visitor: Will it make stuff up about my business?
Anchor Co AI: No. The bot only answers from what you've given it — your website content, your FAQs, pricing, service areas, whatever you add. If a question falls outside that (something the bot doesn't know), it's honest about it. Instead of guessing, it says “I don't have that info” and asks for their name and contact details so you can follow up personally. It won't make up licensing claims, pricing, or service details. That's the safeguard. Your bot is only as smart as the information you feed it — which means you stay in control of what it says about your business. Honestly the easiest way to see if it works for your business is to just try it. Free plan, no card. anchorcoai.com/signup
