Spa and esthetics
Skincare questions tend to arrive at night, after she has watched your content. A reply while she is still interested gives the booking a chance before she moves on.

Respond to after-hours inquiries and help clients book
The message that arrives at 9pm asking whether you have anything Saturday gets a reply while she is still looking. It answers from the information you approve, asks which service she wants, offers open times, and hands anything outside that information to your team.
The logic behind it
What it does, and why it does it that way
It asks which service before it offers times
A brow wax and a microneedling appointment need different slots. Offering a time before the service is known is how a booking stalls: she picks a slot, it turns out to be the wrong length, and the conversation starts over. So the first question is always which service.
It answers the price question instead of dodging it
“How much?” is the most common first message in beauty, and the worst answer is “it depends, book a consultation.” It gives the price and length from your approved menu, says what is included, and moves straight to times. A clear answer keeps her in the conversation. A vague one sends her to the next studio.
It offers a few times, not your whole calendar
A link to a full calendar asks her to do the work. A short list of real openings makes the decision easy, and the booking happens in the same thread.
It follows your deposit and policy steps
If you take deposits, it says so plainly and before she commits, along with your cancellation policy. Clients who expect the policy are less likely to be surprised by it later.
It knows when to hand off
The setup defines what it can answer. A question outside that, a complaint, or a client who asks for a person goes to your team, and you see the whole conversation so nobody has to ask her to repeat herself.
It never gives clinical advice
For advanced treatments and med spa services it handles scheduling, general pricing, and prep. Anything about suitability or contraindications routes to a consultation with you or your provider. That line is written into the setup, not left to judgment.
The flow
From first message to next step
- A message arrives by website chat, social message, or text
- It asks which service she wants
- It answers price, length, and prep from your approved information
- It offers a few open times
- She picks one and the booking follows your deposit and confirmation steps
Hand-off: Anything outside the approved information, anything clinical, and any client who asks for a person goes to your team with the conversation attached.
Example
What a conversation can look like
Chat. An illustration written around the demo business menu to show the flow. It is not a real client conversation. Your setup uses your own services, prices, and policies.
Client: Hi! Do you have anything Saturday for a facial?
Studio: Hi, thanks for reaching out to Solace Skin Studio. Happy to help. Which facial are you looking at: the Signature Facial or the Dermaplaning Facial?
Client: What's the difference and how much?
Studio: The Signature Facial is 60 minutes, customized to your skin, $125. The Dermaplaning Facial is 60 minutes and adds gentle exfoliation for smoother texture, $145. Both take a $25 deposit to hold the time.
Client: Signature please
Studio: Saturday I have 10:00 am, 1:30 pm, or 4:00 pm. Which works best?
Client: 1:30
Studio: Great. I'll send a secure link for the $25 deposit to hold Saturday at 1:30. Our policy asks for 24 hours notice to reschedule, otherwise the deposit is kept. Can I get your first name and mobile number?

Marketing help for med spa ownersQuestions owners ask
Will it sound like a bot to my clients?
It writes short replies using your services, your prices, and your policies, so it reads like a front desk that knows the menu. We review sample conversations with you before it goes live and adjust the tone until it sounds like your studio.
What happens when it does not know the answer?
It should not guess. The setup defines what it can answer, and anything outside that goes to your team with the conversation attached. AI replies can be wrong, so monitoring and a clear hand-off are part of the setup, not an extra.
Can it book into my existing calendar?
That depends on your booking software and the workflow you need. We confirm what connects for your setup before proposing anything. Where a direct connection is not available, we agree on the booking path with you first.
Does it give skincare or treatment advice?
No. It answers scheduling, pricing, prep, and policy questions from information you approve. Anything about whether a treatment is right for someone, including contraindications, routes to a consultation with you or your provider.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the channels, the systems you pair it with, and the support you need, so we cover it on a strategy call rather than publishing a number that may not fit your setup.
