Never Miss a Booking Again
62% of salon inquiries happen outside business hours. Prefero handles every channel (Instagram, WhatsApp, phone, and text) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every inquiry gets a response in under 30 seconds.
The Hidden Cost of Missed Inquiries
A potential client DMs your salon on Instagram at 9 PM. You see it the next morning at 10 AM. By then, they've already booked with the salon that responded first. This happens dozens of times per week at the average salon, and you never even know about it.
Speed is everything in salon booking. Research shows that responding within 5 minutes makes you 21x more likely to convert a lead compared to responding in 30 minutes. Prefero responds in under 30 seconds, every time, on every channel.

Vivid Salon, Jaipur
4-chair salon, heavy Instagram presence
"We get most of our inquiries through Instagram DMs, and 60% come after we close. Before Cora, those leads went cold overnight. Now every DM gets a response in seconds and most of them book right there. We're getting $3,500/month just from after-hours bookings we used to miss."

FAQs: 24/7 AI Booking for Salons
- What channels does Prefero handle?
- Prefero handles Instagram DMs, WhatsApp messages, SMS/text, phone calls, Facebook Messenger, website chat, and email. Every inquiry gets an instant response regardless of the channel, even at 2 AM on a Sunday.
- Does it sound like a robot?
- No. Prefero uses natural, conversational language customized to match your salon's brand voice. Most clients don't realize they're talking to AI. It asks clarifying questions, suggests services, and books appointments just like a well-trained receptionist would.
- Can Prefero handle complex booking requests?
- Yes. Prefero understands multi-service requests ("I want a cut, color, and blowout"), provider preferences ("Can I get Raj on Saturday?"), and timing constraints ("I need something before 2 PM"). It checks real-time availability and books accordingly.
- What happens if Prefero can't answer a question?
- For questions outside its training (like medical advice or complex complaints), Prefero politely lets the client know a team member will follow up, and sends you an immediate alert. It never makes up answers.
- How many bookings does the average salon miss after hours?
- Studies show salons miss 30-40% of incoming calls during business hours and 100% after hours. With 62% of booking inquiries happening outside 9-5, that's a massive amount of lost revenue. Prefero captures every single one.
