Your hair salon takes bookings on WhatsApp
Your clients would rather text than call. Marai answers on WhatsApp 24/7, checks your schedule and books cuts, highlights or blowouts without you ever picking up your phone.
Free plan forever. No credit card required.
Sound familiar?
If you manage appointments, these problems hit you every single week.
Calls you cannot answer while you are cutting
You are mid-cut and the phone rings. You cannot stop and the call is lost. The client calls another salon.
WhatsApps at 10 p.m. that go unanswered
Clients message you at night asking for a slot. By the time you read it in the morning, they have already booked elsewhere — or grabbed a slot that was already taken.
You keep the schedule in a paper diary
You write down the appointment while you talk. You get the time wrong, you forget a service, or the client asks to move it and the whole day falls apart.
How Marai solves it
Real features, already shipped. No waitlists, no promises.
AI WhatsApp bot
The bot understands natural messages like "I want a cut and highlights on Saturday", checks your schedule in real time and confirms the appointment. It runs on your WhatsApp Business number.
Multi-stylist schedule
Each stylist with their own hours, services and prices. Day, week and month view. The bot only offers real slots based on the stylist the client asks for.
Automatic reminders
WhatsApp and email 24 hours before. The client confirms or cancels with one tap. If they cancel, the slot opens up again for the bot instantly.
How does a hair salon appointment schedule with a WhatsApp bot work?
A hair salon appointment schedule with a WhatsApp bot connects your WhatsApp Business number to the salon calendar: when a client writes, the bot reads the message, checks the real slots by stylist, proposes alternatives, confirms the appointment in seconds and sends automatic reminders without you putting down your scissors.

Frequently asked questions
Does the WhatsApp bot use my number or a new one?
It uses your WhatsApp Business number. Clients keep writing to the same contact and the bot answers on your behalf. If you need to take over, you can step in at any time from the dashboard.
What happens if a client asks something the bot does not understand?
The bot hands the conversation to your team and pings you. You reply from the dashboard or from your phone. You never lose a client because the bot did not know what to do.
Can the bot book with a specific stylist?
Yes. If the client asks for María, the bot only offers María’s slots. If they do not specify, the bot suggests the first slots available across the salon.
How much does the WhatsApp bot cost for my hair salon?
The AI bot is included in the Pro plan (€59/month) and the Business plan (€99/month). Add-on packs are available if you go over the included messages. The Free plan lets you try the schedule and reminders at no cost.
Is it legal to use a bot on WhatsApp Business?
Yes. Marai uses Meta’s official WhatsApp Business API. The bot operates within platform policy and is GDPR-compliant. We do not use grey automations or cloned WhatsApp clients.
