SLĒK
A concept · for Kelsey
Made just for Slēk Salon

What it looks like to never be the receptionist again.

Kelsey — you told me your goal is to stop being Slēk's front desk, and let new clients reach you by text or call, 24/7. So instead of just talking about it, I built you a little preview of exactly that. Scroll through, play with the demo, and we'll talk it through Saturday.

Bri · with a big thank-you to Gabriella for the intro.

First, here's what I heard

You're not running a salon — you're running a switchboard.

Slēk is really a home for independent artists, and right now you are the front door. Here's the reality you're living, in your own words:

The calls come while your hands are full. You're with a client and the phone rings. It goes to voicemail — or it waits until you can get to it.
Every new client is a few hoops. Choosing a location, finding the right artist, then reaching out to book — it's a lot for a first-timer, and each step is a chance to lose them.
You're the router. You forward each request to your artists and hope someone with availability reaches out. "If you don't hear back, it means no one was available."
The door is dark when clients knock. Closed Sundays and Mondays — and evenings — which is exactly when new clients are Googling and messaging.
The main event

Meet your AI Front Desk.

This is a live-feel preview trained on your actual flow — your two locations, your intake questions, your policies. Tap a scenario and watch it handle what you do all day. Notice the time stamp.

Under the hood

This is how I build it for you.

You never have to touch any of this — but you should know it's real. Here's the actual system I build and run for Slēk, top to bottom.

Your data stays yours. I keep Slēk's information isolated and secure — never mixed with anyone else's — so it's fully private and portable to you.

How it works

Simple on your end. Smart underneath.

No new apps to learn, no logins to juggle. Here's the whole flow, start to finish.

1
A client reaches out — any time. Text, call, or your website. Nights, Sundays, Mondays — the door's always open.
2
Your AI answers instantly. Warm, on-brand, and it knows Slēk — your two locations, your services, and how you work.
3
It runs your intake & finds the right artist. Location, service, availability — matched to the artist who fits.
4
The artist gets the request & confirms. And the client is kept in the loop the whole way — no one left wondering.
5
You see all of it. A simple dashboard shows what's coming in and what it's saving you — at a glance.
What it actually does

Built around how Slēk really works — not a generic phone bot.

Most "AI receptionists" assume a salon has one calendar. You have more than a dozen independent artists. That's the hard part, and it's the part this is designed for.

Answers the way you would

Explains how Slēk works, hours, and both locations in a warm, on-brand voice — no wall-of-text required.

Two paths, handled

Wants a specific artist? It shares their booking info. No preference? It runs your full intake and dispatches the request.

Smart routing that closes the loop

Matches by location, service and availability, notifies the right artists, and confirms who's picking it up — so requests don't vanish.

Works while the salon sleeps

Nights, Sundays, Mondays — the exact hours you're losing new clients today become your busiest capture window.

Nobody falls through

If no artist claims a request in time, it follows up with the client and flags you — so "we never heard back" stops happening.

Knows your policies cold

48-hour notice, no-show terms, appointment-only, gift certificates, hours & locations — answered accurately, every time.

Reminders that cut no-shows

Automatic appointment reminders and confirmations, plus cancellation recovery — so chairs don't sit empty.

Your dashboard

See exactly what it's doing for you.

A private, at-a-glance view of every inquiry caught, routed, and saved — so the value is never a guess. Here's a sample of what you'll open.

New clients navigate location → artist → reaching out, on their own
3
You manually forward the request to your artists
4
Client waits… sometimes no one replies → client lost, silently
5
Nights, Sundays & Mondays → door closed
How we'd build it

Start simple. Grow only if it earns it.

No giant leap. We stand up the front desk first, prove it, then layer on the parts that make you money.

Phase 1

Get you out of the receptionist seat

Your dedicated Slēk number, on text, 24/7 — trained on your real intake, artists, locations and policies. It runs your whole front-desk flow so you can put the phone down. The wedge · fastest to feel

Phase 2

Close the dispatch loop

Requests get matched and sent to the right artists, first available claims it, the client gets an instant "so-and-so will reach out." If nobody claims it, it escalates — no lost clients. The differentiator · where revenue lives

Phase 3

Bring clients back on their own

Gentle re-book nudges when clients are due to return, review requests, a voice (phone) layer, and a matching chat helper on the site you're already making friendlier. Recurring revenue · when you're ready

À la carte

Pick what you want. Add the rest whenever.

These are honest starting points — we'll tailor the exact scope after we talk Saturday and I understand your ideas. Everything is built custom to Slēk.
