One operator across phone, SMS, email, web, and social, for salons and barbers.
Mid-foil with developer on your hands is the exact moment a color-correction call comes in, a $320–$480 service and a two-year client gone, while Instagram DMs and 'Book Now' clicks sit unread. Sophia answers every call and message within 5 minutes, in your voice, so the chair fills itself.
Typical missed-to-answered shift in the first weeks.Illustrative
Invoice sent. Follow-up automated. Cash collected.
Every channel answered. Every decision made. 168 hours a week, the work of three hires.
A billing tool gives you buttons to push and reminders to manage. Sophia just chases the invoice and gets you paid, not another app to run.

And she’s already trained in salons and barbers from day one, not a blank tool you have to teach.
Same job. Same customer. Very different cash flow.

Let's talk
HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, dental, vets, med-spas, real estate, legal, accounting, cleaning, landscape, restaurants, retail, gyms, salons — pre-trained on the 50 questions your customers ask.
See your industryYes. Sophia uses Stripe-issued, PCI-compliant, single-use links, the customer's card data never touches your phone or Sophia's servers.
No. Sophia plugs into Stripe, Square, QuickBooks Payments, and most SMB processors on Pro and above. The money lands in the same bank account, just an average of 22 days earlier.
Standard reminders say when to come; hers ask clients to confirm or reschedule. She texts 24 hours out, 'Appointment with [Stylist] tomorrow at 2:30pm. Reply C to confirm or R to reschedule', then again 1 hour before. Anyone who needs to move it does it then, so you fill the slot from your cancellation list. No-shows drop from 14–18% to under 5% inside 30 days.
Yes, she books to your exact provider rules: color and bleach to color-certified stylists, extensions to extension-certified, beard trims and fades to your barbers, senior stylists at their own rate tier. If the requested stylist is full, she offers the next qualified one and explains why, never bumps to whoever has a gap. No double-bookings, no skills mismatch.
Yes. Three hours after checkout she texts a rebook nudge on your interval. 4 weeks for cuts, 6 for color, 8 for highlights, 12 for keratin, with a link to book in 30 seconds. Rebook rates average 74% in the first 90 days vs. the 48–52% industry average.
Sophia sends the invoice the moment you're done, follows up until it's paid, and reconciles to your books, cash flow that doesn't depend on your memory.
