AI receptionists for salons, compared by real use
Two salon owners in Salon Today give the clearest numbers on this site for AI phone answering. Mermaid Hair Extensions credits it with 1,188 new clients in 2023, and Renaissance Curls says it handles 82% of incoming calls (both as reported). Because both are press stories, the tools they named rank above the vendor case study on this page.
This page is built from 3 sourced examples (0 owner-told, 2 press, 1 vendor) and the 4 tools they name.
How this is ranked: by the number of owner-told and press stories that name the tool, then by total stories. Vendor case studies count, but lower. We don't test-drive or score tools, and affiliate links never affect the order. Affiliate disclosure.
