AI receptionist for beauty salons
Book clients while you're with one.
Your hands are busy with the client in the chair when the next one calls. Khairo answers, quotes from your price list, books the right stylist for as long as the treatment takes, and brings clients back when they're due.

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.

Regulars drift away quietly
Clients come back when someone reminds them they're due. Without a nudge, they go wherever is closest.
02How it works
Live the same day, no sales call.
Khairo learns from what you already have. You stay in control of every answer and every rule.
- Step 01
Show Khairo your business
Drop in your price list or point it at your website, then add your services, how long each takes and your opening hours.
- Step 02
Read its answers
Before anything goes live, see how Khairo answers your callers' questions, and fix what isn't right in your own words.
- Step 03
Publish your booking line
Put your Khairo number on your website, Google profile and sign. From then on, every call is answered and booked.
03What Khairo does
A salon booking system built for stylists, treatments and regulars.
People and places, together
A visit can need a dentist and a chair, or a mechanic and a bay. Khairo books only when everything the service needs is free, and handles an MOT centre that tests several cars at once.
Your durations, your hours
How long each service takes, breaks before and after, opening hours with a lunch break, holidays and days off: all yours. Khairo never assumes a duration.
Answers from your own price list
Prices, services, opening hours and policies come from the files or web page you give it. Khairo answers from them, and says so when the answer isn't there instead of guessing.
Books only real free slots
Khairo never invents a time. It offers the slots your calendar actually has for that service, books the one the caller picks, and the booking is final.
Brings customers back when they're due
See each customer's last visit and last recall. Send a recall now, later, or on a schedule (“6 months after a check-up”). Customers who reply 1 get a call and a booking, and every recall is logged with its outcome.
A reminder the day before
A short text the evening before each visit, at the time you choose, so fewer customers simply forget.
Moves and cancellations within your rules
Customers can move or cancel by phone up to the limit you set (24 hours by default), and you're told about each change. Closer to the visit, Khairo puts the call through to you.
Regulars ring straight through
Family, suppliers or your best customers can skip the receptionist: callers on your list go straight to your phone.

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.
