Sell a receptionist to every salon on your books.

Salons lose bookings every time the phone rings mid-appointment. HoyCall answers in the salon's name, books straight into their system and sends the confirmation. Here's how partners sell it.

Why salons buy

The phone rings while their hands are busy.

Stylists and therapists can't stop a colour or a treatment to answer the phone, so calls go to voicemail and callers book elsewhere. Most salons know it's costing them. Few can justify a full-time receptionist.

That makes the pitch simple: every call answered, booked into the system they already use, for a fraction of a receptionist's cost. The result shows up in their diary, which makes it an easy product to keep.

What it does

What the agent handles for a salon

Books, moves and cancels

Straight into the salon's booking platform, with the right service, duration and stylist.

Answers the usual questions

Prices, opening hours, parking, patch tests, who does what. Taken from the salon's own site and booking system.

Knows returning clients

Greets regulars by name and remembers their usual service and stylist.

Sends confirmations

A text or email after every booking, with everything the client needs.

Takes deposits

Sends a payment link by text where the salon asks for a deposit.

Hands over when it matters

Transfers to the salon, or takes a message, whenever the caller needs a person.

The demo

The demo that closes the deal

Point Scrape and Create at the salon's website and you have a working agent that already knows their services and prices. Call it in front of the owner.

Sample call · Saturday, 10:14
  1. Caller

    Hi, could I book a cut and blow-dry with Jess next week?

  2. Agent

    Of course. Jess has Tuesday at 2pm or Thursday at 11am. Which suits you better?

  3. Caller

    Thursday at eleven, please.

  4. Agent

    Done. That's a cut and blow-dry with Jess on Thursday at 11am, £58. I'll text you a confirmation now. Anything else?

  5. Caller

    No, that's everything. Thanks!
