An AI receptionist for salons that fills your calendar
Most salon bookings start as an Instagram DM or a text while you're with a client and can't reply. Emplai's receptionist answers those messages instantly, reads what service and time the client wants, checks your availability and proposes a slot. You approve, and it books and reminds, so you fill chairs without stopping mid-appointment to check your phone.

Frequently asked questions
Can an AI receptionist book salon appointments from Instagram?
Yes. It answers Instagram DMs (and WhatsApp and SMS) instantly, reads the service and time the client wants, and proposes a slot to book after you approve.
Will it know how long each service takes?
It proposes times against your real availability, and you approve each booking, so the slot fits and you stay in control.
Does it help with no-shows?
It sends automatic reminders before each appointment, which is one of the simplest ways to reduce no-shows and keep chairs full.
