Best AI receptionist for salons and spas (2026)
Stylists and therapists can't answer the phone mid-appointment, so calls pile up during the busiest hours. Clients who can't get through often book with someone else.
An AI receptionist can book, move and confirm appointments while the team works. Receptionists below are ranked by booking, texting and calendar integrations, as recorded from vendor sites, then by starting price.
