Features
What Marc handles for Salons & Barbers.
Marc is trained specifically for your industry's terminology, caller scenarios, and scheduling needs. Not generic. Not approximate. Built for what your phone actually sounds like.
Stylist-Specific Booking
Marc books appointments with the client's preferred stylist against their actual availability — no double-booking, no back-and-forth, confirmation delivered before they hang up.
Cancellation & Waitlist Management
When a client cancels, Marc immediately fills the slot from your waitlist — so revenue per chair stays consistent even when the schedule shifts at the last minute.
Service & Pricing Questions
Callers asking about cuts, color, balayage pricing, and service times get accurate answers from your menu — so they arrive as informed, committed clients instead of price-shopping walk-ins.
Same-Day Booking
Walk-in mindset callers who want an appointment today get handled immediately — Marc checks availability across your stylists and locks in a same-day slot before the caller hangs up.
After-Hours Booking Capture
The client who thinks 'I'll call tomorrow' is the one who forgets. Marc answers after-close, books the appointment, and has them confirmed before they open Instagram and see your competitor's post.
New Client Onboarding
First-time callers get their service preferences, stylist preference, and contact info collected — so their first visit starts with a personalized experience instead of a clipboard.
Salons & Barbers results
Every booking captured while your hands are in someone's hair.
Salons and barber shops run on bookings — and bookings start with a phone call that comes in while your hands aren't free. Marc answers every one of them: service questions, same-day requests, stylist-specific bookings, and after-hours calls from clients who won't call back tomorrow if they don't get an answer tonight.
The best salons in every market don't just do better work — they make it easier to book. Marc gives you the responsiveness of a dedicated receptionist without the overhead, keeping every chair filled and every client confirmed.

Customer results
Real businesses. Real calls. Real results.
Not from a focus group. From owners who were losing calls before last month.
I was missing 4 to 6 calls a day. In the first week Marc answered 47 calls while I was on jobs. I landed 11 of them. The setup was done before lunch.

My front desk used to dread Mondays. Now they come in to a full schedule that booked itself over the weekend. We stopped missing after-hours calls completely.

Clients call at 11 PM after accidents. Marc gets their info, tells them someone will call back, and they stay. Before this, they just went to the next firm on Google.

Fair questions. Plain answers.
Can it book appointments with specific stylists?
Yes. Marc books against each stylist's individual availability so the client gets the person they want at a time that works. No double-booking, no back-and-forth — the appointment is confirmed before they hang up.
What about cancellations and same-day requests?
Marc handles both. Cancellations get logged and can trigger a waitlist notification. Same-day requests get booked into any open chair. You capture the walk-in mindset without anyone having to answer mid-cut.
Does it work during back-to-back appointment days?
Especially then. The busier you are, the more calls you miss — and the more Marc earns its place. It answers every booking call while your team is focused on the client in the chair.
Will callers know it's AI?
It doesn't pretend to be a person. It answers professionally in your business's name and gets straight to helping. What callers actually hate is ringing, hold music, and voicemail — an instant, useful answer is what they remember.
Do I keep my phone number?
Yes. Your number stays yours, with your carrier. You forward calls to us — everything, or only what you miss. Turn the forwarding off and you're back to normal in minutes.
How fast can it go live?
Usually within one business day. We build and test your receptionist before it answers a real caller, so day one sounds like week ten.
What happens to my calls?
Answered, handled, and summarized. You get a text after every one: who called, what they wanted, what happened. Urgent calls route straight to your cell. Spam never reaches you.
Can it actually book appointments?
Yes — into your real calendar, against your real availability. It handles reschedules and answers common questions about your services, hours, and pricing.
What if I cancel?
You stop paying, we stop answering, you turn off the forwarding. No contract, no cancellation fee, no retention specialist.
What's included at each price?
Essential ($97 setup + $97/mo) covers everything most businesses need: every call answered, appointments booked, spam filtered, a text summary after each call. Pro ($297 setup + $297/mo) adds a custom cloned voice, automated callbacks, priority same-day setup, and support for multiple locations. Both are flat monthly pricing — no per-call fees, no usage surprises.
Do you sell my data?
No. We don't sell, share, or monetize your information or your callers' information. Your call logs exist to serve your business and nobody else.
Your next customer is about to call. Who’s answering?
Call the demo line and hear it work. Or start now and have it live by tomorrow.
