Aria · AI receptionist for hair salonsAnswers the phone after hours.

The call the desk used to miss now gets booked.

01What it does on the callA real conversation, not a phone tree
A real voice

Understands real callers.

Full-duplex speech means natural turn-taking — it can be interrupted, it hears past accents, speakerphone and background noise, and it switches language mid-call. No menus, no "press 1", never on hold.

Why it works

The live voice normalises garbled speech before the brain ever books a thing.

Caller
Hiya, is there any chance of a cut and blow dry Saturday?
Reception
Of course — with Federico at Chelsea, I've a 2:15 or a 4:30 on Saturday. Which suits?
Caller · switching to Italian
Il pomeriggio, grazie.
Reception
Lovely — the 4:30 it is. Shall I pop you in?
The whole visit

Books hair and nails as one visit.

It composes a real visit, not a single slot — nails while the colour develops, two specialists staggered, a group split across chairs. Every service is checked for who's actually free, then captured as one booking.

Built from real calls

Grounded in 46 real reception calls where a salon visit was more than one thing.

Caller
Could I do colour, and maybe a manicure at the same time?
Reception
Yes — I can have your nails done while the colour develops. Sofia for the manicure, Federico on your colour.
Reception
One visit, both together — you're out for the same time.
Honest on price

Handles the pushback — never invents a price.

Too dear? It offers a genuine cheaper service and the exact difference. Cancelling last-minute? It reads back the real appointment and reschedules. On anything to do with money or fees, it never decides — it takes a message for the team.

A hard rule

Card numbers are blocked before any model sees them; money is never settled on the call.

Caller
£120 for balayage is a bit much for me, honestly.
Reception
I understand. A gloss and blow dry gives a lovely refresh at £75 — that's £45 less. Would you like that instead?
Caller
Go on then, yes.
Grounded, not guessing

Only offers slots that are really free.

Every time it's asked, it answers from a live read of the diary — the right stylist for the service, their rota, their breaks. And at the moment of booking it re-checks that exact slot. If it's gone, you get an honest line and the next option — never a blind booking.

Owner-tuned

Its playbook was shaped call-by-call from the owner's own test calls.

02Part of one systemEverything writes to Daviana

The core · read & write

It doesn't take a message. It books.

The receptionist isn't a bolt-on answering service. It reads and writes the same record every other Daviana product uses — Daviana Diary, the diary.

Diary

One client. One diary. One record.

The caller's number resolves to their client record before it even says hello — so it knows they've been in before. The booking lands in the diary, and the call itself becomes a note on the client's record: what was said, what was booked, what the team needs to follow up.

Our addition

The call that used to vanish now leaves a written trail on the client's record.

AI receptionist for salons: your questions

What salon owners ask before they let an AI answer the phone.

What is an AI receptionist for a hair salon?

An AI receptionist answers the salon phone with a real AI voice when nobody on the desk can. Daviana's, called Aria, handles the whole call: it checks who is free for each service, books the visit straight into the live Daviana diary, and saves a note of the call on the client's record.

Does it book into my real diary?

Yes, the same diary your front desk is looking at, not a copy it has to reach into from outside. It answers from a live read of the diary, respecting each stylist's rota and breaks, and re-checks the exact slot at the moment of booking. Once it books, the slot is gone for everyone. More in can an AI answer your salon's phone and still book into the real diary?

Can it book more than one service in a visit?

Yes. It builds a real visit rather than a single slot: nails while the colour develops, two specialists staggered, or a group split across chairs. Every service is checked for who is actually free, then saved as one booking.

Does it answer out of hours?

Yes. Evenings, Sundays and the middle of your Saturday rush are exactly when calls ring out, and they are the calls least likely to ring back. The missed call calculator shows what those calls are worth to your salon.

What happens if it does not know the answer?

It takes a message for the team rather than guessing. It never invents a price, and on anything to do with money or fees it leaves the decision to you. Card numbers are blocked before any AI model sees them, and money is never settled on the call.

Does it speak other languages?

Yes. It can switch language mid-call, and it copes with accents, speakerphone and background noise. There are no menus and no "press 1".

How much does the AI receptionist cost?

£60 a month including VAT, with the first month free and cancellation any month. It books into Daviana Diary, which starts at £25 a month for one person. See pricing.

Can I hear it before I decide?

Yes. Use the call-me form above: Aria reads your salon's website for about thirty seconds, then rings your mobile and answers as your salon. One test call per salon per day, between 8am and 9pm.

Does Aria work for nail and beauty salons?

Yes. Aria books a whole visit rather than a single slot, so nails while the colour develops, two specialists staggered, or a group split across chairs are booked as one visit. For every service it checks who actually does that treatment and who is free, so a client is never offered someone who does not do it.
