Prefero + Instagram: Turn DMs into Booked Appointments

Your Instagram followers are asking about availability, prices, and services. Prefero responds instantly, answers questions, and books them in 24/7, even while you are behind the chair.

See It In Action

The Instagram Problem for Salons

You post beautiful content. Followers engage. DMs pour in: "How much for balayage?" "Do you have anything Saturday?" "Can I book a cut and color?"

But you are with a client. By the time you respond hours later, they have already booked somewhere else. Research shows that leads contacted within 5 minutes are 21x more likely to convert. Without instant responses, your Instagram content drives traffic but not bookings.

Prefero fixes this. It responds to every DM within seconds, answers service questions accurately, checks your calendar, and books the appointment, all while you focus on the client in your chair.
