# The AI receptionist for nail salons that answers while polish is drying

An AI receptionist for nail salons answers calls when every tech is working on a client. It books manicures, pedicures, gel and acrylic fills into Google Calendar or Microsoft 365, handles group bookings for parties, answers price and walk-in questions, and texts you a summary. Nobody has to smudge a fresh set to grab the phone.

## Why nail salons miss calls

- **Wet nails and a ringing phone:** Techs are mid-application, clients have hands under the lamp, and the phone keeps going. Answering means stopping a service with product on the brush. Not answering means losing the caller who wanted a pedicure this afternoon.
- **Group bookings are hard to take by phone:** A bridal party of six wants pedicures together on a Saturday. Working out how many techs and chairs are free, and for how long, is not something anyone can do in thirty seconds between clients.
- **Callers just want a quick answer:** How much is a gel fill? Do you do dip powder? Are you open Sunday? Short calls, but they never stop, and each one pulls a tech away from the person sitting in front of them.

## How does an AI receptionist help nail salons stay booked?

Nail salons run on quick turnover, and a missed call is often a client who wanted to come in within the hour. The AI answers every call, checks your calendar in Google Calendar or Microsoft 365 and books the service with the right amount of time, whether that is a quick polish change or a full set with art. You get a text for each booking, and your techs keep working.

## Can the AI take group and party bookings for a nail salon?

Yes. You tell the AI how many chairs and techs you have and how long each service takes, and it offers times when a group can sit together. It takes the organizer’s name, number, party size and services, explains any group policy you have, and sends the full request to you. For big events, it can pass the caller to you directly. You stay in control of how big a party the AI can book on its own.

## Will the AI answer price questions for nail services?

It answers from your website and the notes you give it, so it can quote your listed prices for gel manicures, acrylic fills, dip powder, removals and nail art. If a price depends on the design, it says so and offers to book a consult or take a photo request by text. It does not guess at prices you have not given it. Callers comparing salons get the same straight answer every time, even on your busiest Saturday afternoon.

## Can the AI speak with clients in their language?

The AI speaks English, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian today. A caller can book, ask about prices or reschedule in any of those languages, and your summary tells you exactly what they want. More languages are coming with Studio voices, but those four are what is available now. Clients who feel more comfortable in another language can still ask about gel versus dip, book a Sunday pedicure or move their fill, without waiting for a particular tech to be free to translate.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the AI book a fill with the same tech every time?

Yes, if each tech has a calendar in Google Calendar or Microsoft 365. The AI checks when the client’s usual tech is free for the length of a fill and books there, or offers another tech if the client prefers an earlier time.

### What if a client wants custom nail art?

The AI can explain your art pricing if you list it, and note that complex designs may need extra time. It records what the client described so your tech can plan ahead, and if you prefer to quote custom work yourself, it takes a callback request.

### Does it take a deposit for group bookings?

No. The AI does not handle payments. If your salon requires a deposit for parties, the AI explains your policy and how you collect it, and your summary notes that the deposit is still outstanding so you can follow up.

### Can the AI answer after we close?

Yes. It answers 24/7, so a client who remembers at 10pm that she needs a fill before a Saturday wedding can book right then. You can set different after-hours rules, such as booking only or taking messages. Calls on holiday weekends get the same coverage.

### How long does setup take?

You enter your website and Vocenya builds a receptionist from it in about 20 seconds. You then review your services, prices and policies, edit anything that is off, and only then does it start answering real calls. You can change your prices or hours any time afterward.
