Text back missed salon calls with AI that answers extension questions and books consults

who Cindy Reynolds, owner of Mermaid Hair Extensions (two locations near Seattle)

What it does

When a call is missed, TrueLark texts the caller, answers the common questions (time, methods, how long they last, cost, hair damage) and books a free consultation.

The problem

Extension shoppers call with the same five questions, often after hours, and the front desk couldn't answer every call.

What happened

As reported by Salon Today: 1,188 new clients in 2023 came through it, about 28 online bookings a week (17 after hours) and about $26,000 a month in extra revenue.
