Calls come in, but you’re not always available to answer them. We capture leads, book appointments, collect payment, and log details instantly in your systems. Our human agents seamlessly step in when callers request to speak with someone directly or have complex inquiries that require detailed information collection and routing to the appropriate nail technician or salon manager.
The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai greets every caller professionally and captures essential appointment information through structured intake questions. By collecting key information upfront — such as service type needed (manicure, pedicure, gel, acrylics, nail art), preferred technician, appointment timing, special occasions or events, any allergies or sensitivities, and budget preferences — the system helps identify and prioritize appointments based on your salon's services and technician availability.
The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai combines cutting-edge AI technology with optional human support to deliver unmatched call handling capabilities. Unlike competitors who offer basic subscription services, we provide white-glove implementation and ongoing support to ensure your success.
What sets Smith.ai apart:
Make better business decisions with real-time call data, visualized in every Smith.ai client dashboard. Each call summary is enriched with actions completed, caller disposition, priority, relevance, call recording and transcription, and more. See the big picture with historical tables and charts to predict growth, costs, and ROI with superior accuracy.
Understanding your nail salon's call patterns helps optimize scheduling, identify peak booking times, and track which services generate the most interest. This intelligence enables you to make informed decisions about staffing, inventory, and service offerings while ensuring no opportunity is missed.
While our AI Receptionist with human support delivers exceptional results for most businesses, we understand that some situations require dedicated human coverage. That’s why Smith.ai also offers comprehensive virtual receptionist plans with 100% live, North America-based agents answering your calls 24/7.
Our virtual receptionist plans provide dedicated human agents trained specifically on your business and industry.
Improve customer experiences with 24/7 AI-powered engagement built specifically for your business. Unlike basic AI competitors that offer one-size-fits-all solutions, Smith.ai delivers infinite customization with white-glove implementation tailored to your exact needs and goals.
While other AI services leave you to figure it out alone, our expert team works closely with you to craft custom AI behavior that sounds like your business, follows your procedures, and delivers results that match your goals.
The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai streamlines nail salon operations by handling routine customer interactions automatically — greeting callers, booking appointments, and managing service inquiries without interrupting your nail technicians during treatments. The system understands nail salon workflows, from basic manicure scheduling to complex nail art consultations, and routes calls based on service requirements and technician availability.
With 24/7 coverage, you capture appointments and inquiries even during peak hours or after closing when competitors send callers to voicemail. Human support seamlessly handles escalations when customers request personal assistance or have complex scheduling needs requiring detailed information collection. This AI-first approach with human assistance eliminates productivity-killing interruptions while ensuring every potential customer receives professional service.
The AI Receptionist integrates with your existing salon management software to access real-time availability across all services and staff. The system recognizes service duration differences — whether clients need quick gel polish touch-ups or elaborate nail art sessions — and matches them with appropriately skilled technicians based on your specifications.
For appointments involving multiple services, special requests, or coordination across several technicians, human agents provide detailed information collection and ensure accurate booking. The AI also manages appointment modifications, cancellations, and captures client preferences to create smoother service experiences. Custom caller types can be configured for VIP clients, first-time visitors, or specific service categories.
Integration creates seamless information flow between the AI Receptionist and your salon management system, enabling personalized conversations based on client history and preferences. When customers call, the AI can reference their previous services, preferred technicians, and upcoming appointments — making every interaction feel personal and professional.
Real-time synchronization ensures appointment details, contact updates, and special requests are immediately available to your entire team. This eliminates miscommunication between staff and creates consistency whether clients interact with AI or human team members. The system also blocks spam calls and filters non-business inquiries, protecting your team's time for legitimate customer needs.
The AI Receptionist from Smith.ai starts at $97.50 monthly compared to $35,000+ annually for full-time reception staff — delivering over 95% cost savings while providing superior 24/7 professional coverage. This pricing includes intelligent call handling, lead qualification, appointment scheduling, and system integrations that would require additional software costs with human staff.
Beyond salary savings, you eliminate hiring processes, training time, benefits, sick day coverage, and vacation replacement coordination. The AI never requires breaks, personal time, or management oversight. With per-call overage pricing rather than forced plan upgrades, costs scale predictably with your business growth. No setup or cancellation fees provide complete financial flexibility.
The AI Receptionist handles most nail salon interactions efficiently — appointment scheduling, service pricing questions, availability inquiries, and routine customer requests. The system automatically identifies and blocks spam calls while routing business calls appropriately based on caller type and service needs.
Human agents step in for escalations when customers specifically request personal assistance or have complex payment processing situations. Our North America-based agents excel at customer service and detailed information gathering but do not provide nail care advice or technical recommendations — they ensure callers connect with the right salon professional for their specific service needs.
