Barbers and hairdressers
Your hands are busy with a client. The phone will not wait.
The assistant answers while you work, explains services and prices, and books the appointment into the right person’s calendar.
A short call where you hear the assistant in action.
You cannot stop the work for every call
Mid-cut or mid-colour, the phone is out of reach. The caller leaves no message and books next door. Evening and weekend calls go entirely unanswered.
- The call either interrupts the service or goes unanswered.
- Prices and service durations are asked about daily.
- Days off and holidays generate needless calls.
- In a one-person salon there is nobody for the phone.
What people call about
The everyday calls get handled without stopping the work.
- An appointment for a specific service
- Free slots with a specific stylist
- Services, duration and prices
- Opening hours, days off and holidays
- Location and practical instructions
How an appointment comes about
- 1
The assistant identifies the service
It works out what the appointment is for and whose calendar to look in.
- 2
It finds a genuinely free slot
Per-staff calendars, days off and exceptions are taken into account.
- 3
The appointment lands in the salon’s registry
The registry is Lingaro’s own and lives in the salon’s web panel — no external calendar to maintain. Google Calendar and Outlook can be connected on request.
What matters for a salon
A calendar per stylist
Everyone has their own calendar and the assistant books with the right person.
Days off and exceptions
Holidays, shortened days and unusual opening hours are handled automatically.
Services and prices from your knowledge base
The assistant says what you have written down — not what it guesses.
An SMS confirmation
The customer immediately gets the time and the chosen staff member’s name, in the language of the call.
A salon panel and a web widget
Days off, services, prices and users are managed in the web panel; the booking widget for your website runs on the same engine as the phone, and every appointment records who created or cancelled it.
To a person when the request is unusual
Wedding styling, a large group or a special request goes straight to you.
When the call cannot be resolved
The assistant passes the matter on instead of ending the call.
- Transfers the call to you when somebody is there to take it.
- Logs a call-back request and sends an email.
- Answers outside opening hours in the way you have agreed.
- Notes down the questions it could not answer.
Frequently asked
Can a customer book with a specific stylist?
Yes. Calendars are per staff member and the assistant books with the right person.
Can it quote prices?
It can, once the prices are in the knowledge base. You update them yourself in the dashboard.
What if a customer wants to move their appointment?
The assistant takes the request and passes it to you. We agree together what it may do on its own.
Does it work for a one-person salon?
It does, and that is where it helps most: the phone gets answered while you are working with a client.
