The problem for salons & spas
Calls interrupt services or go unanswered when everyone is with a client.
Booking long services (colour, treatments) by phone takes several back-and-forth questions.
Last-minute cancellations leave expensive empty chairs.
Clients ring just to ask prices or opening hours.

ZetDesk AI Receptionist for salons & spas: FAQs
Can the AI book into Fresha, Vagaro or Square?
Where the booking platform offers an API, appointments are written directly; otherwise the AI books into a synced calendar. We confirm your platform before setup.
Can it take deposits?
Yes — it sends a secure payment link (for example via Stripe) for services that require a deposit.
Does it work for barbershops with walk-ins?
Yes. It can share current wait times and book the next available chair.
What is an AI receptionist?
An AI receptionist is a voice AI that answers your business phone like a human receptionist: it greets callers, answers questions about your business, books appointments, takes messages, transfers urgent calls and logs everything in your CRM — 24 hours a day.
Will callers know they are talking to AI?
Modern voices are natural and handle interruptions well, so most conversations flow normally. We recommend a short disclosure in the greeting, and we can transfer to a human whenever a caller asks.
