AI receptionist for hair & beauty
The AI receptionist for nail technicians
You are mid-set with gel under the lamp. You physically cannot touch the phone, so the booking goes to the salon down the road.
Sound familiar?
Why nail technicians lose work to the phone.
A full set is £30 to £45 and takes over an hour. Every missed booking is not just one client, it is the rebooking every three weeks after it.
Your hands are never free
You are filing, painting or curing under a lamp for most of the day. Answering the phone mid-set is impossible, so the ring goes unanswered and the client books elsewhere.
Instagram is your booking line
Most nail enquiries come through DMs with a photo of an inspo set. subba answers them, books the right service and time, and keeps your grid working for you.
Infills and rebookings slip
Gel and BIAB clients need to come back every few weeks. subba can rebook them on the spot and remind them, so your column stays full.
How subba helps
A receptionist that never misses a call.
Answers in seconds, day or night
The moment a call, message or web enquiry lands, subba replies. While you are on the job, out of hours, at the weekend, it never rings out and never sleeps.
It actually books the appointment
This is not a message service. subba checks your real availability and books the customer straight into your diary, then sends the confirmation.
Sounds like you
It learns your services, your prices and your tone, so every reply reads like you wrote it, not a call centre. It talks like hair & beauty customers expect.
Takes payment where you want it
For the jobs that need it, subba can take a deposit or full payment into your own Stripe when it books, so no-shows cost you nothing.
Most services take a message. subba books the job.
A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For nail technicians, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.
Questions
Nail technician FAQs.
Can it answer my Instagram enquiries?
Yes. subba handles your DMs and website chat together, replies in your tone, and books the client in, so the enquiry that came from your grid does not sit unread while you work.
Can it rebook regulars automatically?
It can book the next infill or fresh set before the client leaves, and send a reminder when it is due, so your regulars stay regular.
How quickly can I get set up?
If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
