Nail salons
Full sets, fills, pedicures and add-ons priced and timed per tech, with service photos on the register so the upsell sells itself.
For salons & spas
Your techs keep working. Sonorch books the rest.
The phone rings mid-manicure. The AI answers, checks your real calendar, and books the appointment — with zero interruption to the client in your chair. Then the same system rings her up, and totals the commission before you lock the door.
A Saturday, hour by hour
What actually changes on your busiest day.
Not a feature list — the seven moments where a salon usually loses money, and what happens to each of them instead.
- 7:40 AM
A call comes in before you unlock the door
The AI receptionist answers on the first ring, offers the first opening that actually fits a full set, and books it. You find out when you read the day.
- 9:15 AM
A walk-in checks herself in
The kiosk on the counter takes her name and what she wants, puts her in the queue, and tells her the wait — while you are still finishing a fill.
- 11:02 AM
A regular calls and is recognised
Her number is already on file, so the AI greets her by name, knows she sees Amy, and offers Amy’s open slots first instead of reading a menu at her.
- 1:30 PM
A cancellation refills itself
The 3 PM drops out. The waitlist is offered the slot by text, someone takes it, and the book closes the gap before it costs you the hour.
- 4:45 PM
The front desk rings up in seconds
Services, add-ons and a bottle of top coat on one ticket, assigned to the tech who did the work. Tip prompted on screen, card tapped, receipt emailed.
- 7:10 PM
The day closes itself
Sales, tips and commission per technician are already totalled. Nobody stays late with a calculator and a stack of receipts.
- 10:30 PM
Tomorrow fills while you sleep
The booking page takes appointments at any hour, and the AI answers the calls that come in long after you have gone home.
What you get
One system from the first call to the final payment.
Start with the register — booking, staff columns and text reminders come with it, and so does the receptionist, for when the missed calls start to sting.
- Every call answered, 24/7 — The AI receptionist picks up on the first ring, recognises your regulars by number, books with the right technician, and never schedules outside the hours you set.
- A book that fills itself — Open slots are ranked so the day packs back-to-back instead of leaving dead half-hours, and the waitlist re-offers any slot a cancellation frees up.
- Online booking that never sleeps — A public booking page with your real services, durations, prices and staff — readable by clients at 2 AM, and by the search engines and AI assistants they ask first.
- Reminders that cut no-shows — Confirmation on booking and a reminder before the visit. Clients reply C to confirm or R to reschedule, and the book updates itself.
- A check-in kiosk for walk-ins — A tablet at the door takes the walk-in, adds them to the queue in the right order, and quotes an honest wait — so nobody hovers at the desk.
- A front desk that rings up in seconds — Sonorch POS in salon mode: services and retail on one ticket, tip prompts on screen, tap to pay, and a receipt out by email.
- Every staff member gets their own app — Each person signs in as themselves — their schedule, their clients, their earnings — on their own phone or the shop tablet. No shared logins, no printed sheets.
- Payday without the spreadsheet — Commission and tips split per technician, exported as CSV or PDF, or emailed straight to your bookkeeper.
Which kind of salon
Set up for the trade you actually run.
A barbershop queue and a med spa consultation are not the same appointment. Your services, durations, buffers and staff qualifications are configured to match.
Hair salons & blow-dry bars
Colour, cut and treatment durations that differ per stylist, processing gaps the book understands, and retail rung up on the same ticket.
Barbershops
Walk-in queue and standing appointments side by side, chair-by-chair columns, and per-barber commission at close of day.
Med spas & skin studios
Consultations, series and follow-ups that need the right room and the right provider — plus policies the AI actually enforces on the phone.
Massage & bodywork
60- and 90-minute rooms, buffers between clients that never get eaten, and intake handled before the client arrives.
Lash, brow & waxing studios
Short high-volume services back to back without dead gaps, with fills and refills re-offered before the client drifts elsewhere.
Answers
What salon owners ask first.
Yes. It reads the same service menu and staff qualifications your calendar uses, so it only offers a technician who actually performs that service, for the duration you have set for that person.

What missed calls cost
Every call that rings out mid-fill is a booking that walks next door. Put your own numbers in and see what a year of them is worth.
