The Challenge

Glow Beauty Salon's single receptionist managed all bookings by phone, creating long hold times during busy Saturday mornings. The salon had no online booking presence — clients who found them on Instagram or Google had to call to schedule. Stylists often had gaps in their calendars because walk-in traffic was unpredictable, and the manual booking process couldn't keep up with demand.

The Solution

SchedulingKit provided a branded booking page embedded directly on Glow's website and Instagram bio. Clients browse available stylists, see real-time slot availability, and book instantly. The AI chatbot handles common questions — pricing, service duration, cancellation policy — and guides visitors to book. Automated reminders reduced no-shows, and the booking page's service menu showcases add-ons that increased average ticket size.

Our receptionist used to spend the entire morning on the phone. Now clients book at midnight from their couch, and we wake up to a full schedule. It completely changed how we run the salon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did the chatbot help increase bookings?

The AI chatbot engages website visitors who would otherwise leave without booking. It answers questions about services, pricing, and availability, then guides visitors directly to the booking page — converting browsers into booked clients.

Can clients choose their preferred stylist?

Yes. The booking page displays each stylist's availability, specialties, and portfolio. Clients pick their preferred stylist and time slot, and the booking is confirmed instantly.

Did Glow need to change their website?

No. The booking page was embedded as a widget on their existing site with a single code snippet. It also works as a standalone page linked from Instagram, Google Business Profile, and email signatures.
