AI for Beauty Salons 2025: Automate Bookings, Reminders & Client Management
How beauty salons, barbershops, and spas can use AI to handle bookings, reduce no-shows, automate reminders, and boost rebookings. Includes software comparison and ROI calculator.
Why Beauty Salons Need AI in 2025
Beauty salons and barbershops lose €10,000-25,000/year from no-shows, phone tag with clients, and missed rebooking opportunities. The average salon has a 20-30% no-show rate without automated reminders.
The Beauty Industry Challenge
Stylists spend 30% of their time on phones instead of with clients. Every missed call is a potential client going to a competitor. AI changes this.
