Hair salons

You are behind the chair most of the day with your hands full, and the salon still needs someone to answer the phone, reply to the messages asking about Saturday, and chase the reschedules. The till and the supplier invoices drift apart until reconciling them is a night you dread. And the reminder that brings a regular back for their next colour only goes out when you find a spare hour, which between clients you rarely do. The Storefront and services pack hires a small team to carry that load. You still make every call. The team does the repetitive work around the appointments and hands you clean, ready-to-approve output.

​

The pack you hire

The pack arrives as three small teams, each in its own channel, so you get a real structure to work in instead of one crowded room.

​

Customers

A client who does not get a quick reply books somewhere else. This team makes sure no enquiry sits waiting while you are mid-colour.

• Customer support reads incoming questions as they land, works out what each one is really asking, whether that is availability, a reschedule, or a price for a service, and drafts a reply grounded in your own answers and past conversations, so it sounds like your salon and stays consistent. When something needs a real decision, like a last-minute cancellation or an unhappy client, it hands you the thread with full context instead of guessing. Sending replies on its own stays off until you turn it on, so nothing goes out in your name without you.

​

Books

Small gaps between the till, the card payments, and what your suppliers billed you quietly become real ones. This team keeps the record honest so the end of the month is never a scramble.

• Invoice reconciliation pulls receipts from your inbox, matches them against your invoices and payments, and flags anything that does not line up, like a colour-supplier charge with no receipt or a payment that came through twice. It never moves money or edits a record to make the numbers look clean. It surfaces exactly what needs your eye, while the discrepancy is still small.
• Expense capture combs your inbox for receipts as they arrive, the product orders, the retail stock, the salon supplies, and files each one into a weekly expense sheet matched against your payments. The record builds itself a little at a time, so there is no shoebox of receipts to sort at month-end. When it cannot tell what a charge was for, it flags it rather than guessing a category.

​

Marketing

A regular who rebooks is worth more than a walk-in you never see again, and staying in touch is what brings them back through the door. This team keeps you visible without adding another job to your week.

• Weekly newsletter turns your latest news, new services, and offers into a polished draft written in your voice, the kind of note that reminds a client it has been six weeks and nudges them to book. You get something most of the way there, so your part is editing and approving, not staring at a blank page. Every draft comes to you before it reaches a single client, and it flags anything it is unsure about rather than sending a claim it cannot stand behind.

​

Make it yours

The pack is a starting point, not a fixed menu. Your Chief of Staff reads your salon and reshapes the team around how you actually run it. You adjust it by chatting in plain language:

• “Drop the newsletter for now, I just need the booking messages covered”
• “Add someone to chase the reminders for clients who are overdue a visit”
• “Give me a bespoke agent to keep an eye on which stylists are fully booked”

It reworks the roster in place until it looks right, then hires the whole thing in one go. If you ask for something it cannot deliver, it tells you plainly and offers the closest thing it can build.

​

What it costs

You pay for the work your team actually does, measured in credits, not for how many agents sit in your channels. A teammate waiting quietly for the next enquiry is not spending anything. See How credits work for the details.
