Sound familiar?

Common challenges beauty & salons businesses face without automation.

Stylists stop mid-service to answer the phone, slowing down appointments and frustrating the client in the chair

Double-bookings happen when multiple staff manage the same diary, causing client complaints and lost revenue

Last-minute cancellations leave gaps in the schedule that could have been filled if you had a waitlist system

New clients don't know your service menu or pricing and expect you to explain everything over the phone before booking

What Raimond does for beauty & salons

Real use cases, not marketing fluff. Here's exactly how the bot helps your business.
