AI for salons & beauty
In a busy salon the money walks in the door — but so does the phone that never stops and the no-show that leaves a chair empty. Katalis helps hair and beauty businesses use AI to protect their time and their diary, without losing the personal touch clients come for.
There’s no one-size-fits-all AI
The day runs on the diary. The phone rings for bookings, changes and the same handful of questions — often while you're mid-appointment with someone else. No-shows leave gaps you can't fill, reminders happen by hand (or not at all), and the front desk carries a load that has nothing to do with the service you're actually brilliant at.
What you probably already use
AI slots into what you’ve got — we don’t make you rip it out and start again.
Where AI helps depends on your setup
If you take bookings by phone only…
…the first win is usually a 24/7 assistant that answers, books people in and cuts the interruptions, so the phone stops running your day.
If you're already on an online booking system…
…it's less about booking and more about no-shows and questions — reminders that quietly fill gaps, and FAQs answered round the clock.
If it's mostly just you…
…taking the front-desk admin off you is the single biggest time-saver — you get your evenings back, not only your appointment slots.
Where AI actually helps
You're booking clients between clients.
A 24/7 booking assistant takes appointments off the phone — even while you're mid-cut — and drops them straight into your calendar.
No-shows leave gaps you can't fill.
Automatic reminders confirm appointments and quietly cut the no-shows, and a waitlist fills gaps when someone cancels.
The same questions, over and over.
An assistant answers prices, availability and 'do you do…?' round the clock, so you're not glued to messages after hours.
Common questions
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. We do the setup and teach your team the easy part — if you can use your phone, you can use this.
Will it work with my current booking system?
Usually yes — we fit AI around the tools you already use wherever we can, rather than making you start over.
How much does it cost?
A first assistant usually starts around £2,000–£5,000 plus a little each month to run it, all + VAT. It depends on your setup, and the first chat is free.
