German number and 200 minutes included. Answers while you're at the chair, asks cut or colour and books straight into your salon calendar. An AI phone assistant for hairdressers answers calls while you're at the chair: it asks cut or colour, checks free slots live and books straight into your calendar. At terminio.ai it is part of Pro Voice, with a German phone number and 200 call minutes, no setup fee, set up in about ten minutes. ## One call. And everything that hangs on it. - Booked online, booked by phone: one calendar. Whoever would rather tap than call books through your link: pick a cut, pick a stylist, pick a time. Whoever would rather call gets the assistant. Both land in the same calendar in the same minute, with no double booking. - Prices on the phone. Deposit per service. If someone asks what the balayage costs, the assistant tells them, or says it depends on the work. You decide. The deposit you set per service: on colour through Stripe, nothing on the men's cut. - Picks up when nobody can. Set a call forward, done. When the line is busy, nobody picks up or the salon is closed, the assistant answers with your name and your greeting. It knows your services, checks free slots live, books and summarises every call in the app. - Booked by phone, confirmed on WhatsApp. An appointment the assistant books runs like any other booking: WhatsApp confirmation straight away, a reminder before the appointment, from your number, in your words. Whoever can't make it writes back, straight into your chat. - It knows who is at which chair when. The assistant looks at the real salon calendar: rotas, colleagues, the duration of every service. A balayage only gets a slot where three hours are free. If someone asks for Jonas, it tries to book exactly him. - Every call in the app. On the watch too. After every call you get a push message with a summary, the outcome and the duration. Callbacks land in their own list. Web app at reception, app on iPhone and Android, smartwatch on the wrist: the same picture everywhere. ## Common questions **What happens if I'm in the middle of a colour and the phone rings?** You don't pick up, and after the ring the AI phone assistant takes over. It answers with your salon's name and your greeting, asks cut or colour, checks free slots and books. After the call the summary is in the app. You read it once the colour is on. **Does it understand what a balayage is and how long it takes?** It knows your services with duration and price, exactly as you set them up. If someone asks for a balayage, it only offers times where three hours are free. It quotes prices if you allow that, or says it depends on the work. **Can callers ask for their favourite stylist?** Yes, if you switch it on. The assistant then tries to book exactly that person and looks at their calendar to do it. Switch it off and it names nobody, and you decide in the salon who takes the appointment. **Do I need a new phone number for the assistant?** No. You get a German phone number from terminio, and your existing number stays on the business card and on Google. You only set a call forward, for example for when nobody picks up. In the Pro Voice plan the number is included. **What if someone calls to cancel their Saturday appointment?** Cancellations and reschedules the assistant handles straight in your calendar. If everything is full, it notes the request as a callback. Requests it shouldn't handle it passes on to you, or takes name, number and reason. Nothing gets lost. **Does it pick up in the evening and on Sundays too?** Yes. The AI phone assistant for hair salons has no opening hours. You decide when it takes over: always, only when nobody picks up, or only outside opening hours. Then it knows the salon is closed and doesn't refer callers to you. **What does an AI phone assistant cost?** On the market, between roughly 30 € and several hundred euros a month, depending on whether billing is per minute, per call or a flat rate, and whether the phone number costs extra. At terminio.ai the AI phone assistant for hairdressers is included in Pro Voice: 129.99 € a month, German number and 200 call minutes included, every further minute 0.25 €. No setup fee, cancel monthly. **Is there a free AI phone assistant?** A permanently free one hardly exists, because the phone number and the call minutes cost the provider money. What does exist is a free start: at terminio.ai you begin on Free without payment details, with a booking page, a calendar and the app. The AI phone assistant for hairdressers comes with Pro Voice, with no setup fee and no minimum term, cancel monthly. **What can an AI phone assistant do?** It answers while you're at the chair, greets callers with the name of your business and deals with the request: it asks cut or colour, checks free slots in your calendar, books, moves and cancels. It knows how long a balayage takes and only offers gaps that fit. Anything it shouldn't handle it forwards to you or takes down as a callback with name, number and reason. After every call there is a summary in the app. --- terminio.ai is online appointment booking for small businesses with WhatsApp reminders and an AI phone assistant, from €0 a month, hosted in the EU.
