Athena is the 24/7 texting assistant for barbershops and hair salons. She answers every client text while your barbers and stylists keep cutting, and books only the open times in your schedule. Guided by the wisdom of Athena, she never misses a booking.
Clients text when it suits them, late at night or mid-appointment, not when the front desk is free.
Messages that arrive after hours or while stylists and barbers are busy often go unanswered, and those clients may book elsewhere.
Athena answers right away and turns questions into booked appointments.
Fully set up and looked after for you. You never have to touch your computers or social accounts.
They text your shop's dedicated booking number, 24/7, from:
Twilio receives the text and Make.com passes it to Athena.
A warm answer and an invitation to book, in seconds.
Athena adapts to each shop: a consultation-first flow for salon color services, and quick direct booking for barbershop cuts.
Whether your clients want a fresh fade or a full color refresh, Athena speaks their language.
Two sample conversations: a salon price question that becomes a consultation, and a barbershop fade booked in a few quick texts. Athena never quotes prices.
Sample conversations for illustration. Real replies use your shop's own script and the open times in your Square Appointments schedule.
No prices or dollar amounts, ever. Pricing stays a conversation with your team.
Every time offered comes from your live Square Appointments schedule.
Laid-back for the barbershop, warm for the salon, and trained on your shop's own script.
Available 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Athena never misses a booking.
