The phone rings when your hands are full of someone's hair.

    You can't stop mid-treatment

    A client in the chair comes first. Most callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message, and book with the salon that picked up.

    A well-timed message brings clients back

    A text timed to each client's own cycle brought 14–15% of them back to book, against about 2% for a generic next-day one.

05Questions

Beauty salons: what owners ask

  • Can clients book a specific stylist?

    Yes. Each stylist is set up with their own hours and services, and Khairo offers only times when that person is free.

  • Does Khairo know how long each treatment takes?

    You tell it, per service, with any break before or after. Khairo never assumes a duration.

  • Can it bring regulars back?

    Yes. Send a recall now, on a date, or on a schedule (“3 weeks after a manicure”). Each message has an opt-out, and clients who reply 1 get a call and a booking.

  • What if a client wants to move their appointment?

    Khairo moves it up to the limit you set (24 hours by default) and tells you. Closer to the time, it puts the call through to you.

Never miss a booking again.
