The WhatsApp receptionist your salon never had.

A WhatsApp booking system for salons lets clients book, reschedule and get reminders in WhatsApp; Lunchbox does this with an AI receptionist from R997/month. It answers from your own services and prices, offers real open slots from your diary, and holds every booking for your confirmation, so the colour consult still happens before the colour.

What your customers will see

Hi! Any chance of a ladies cut on Saturday?

Hi! Saturday I have 09:00 or 11:30 open for a ladies cut & style (R350, about an hour). Which suits you?

11:30 please 🙏

Lovely! I've sent the 11:30 booking through. Tasneem will confirm shortly and you'll get a reminder the day before. 💇

Salons & hairdressers questions, answered.

Can clients book my salon through WhatsApp?

Yes, with Lunchbox your clients book directly in the WhatsApp chat: the AI receptionist offers real open slots from your calendar and writes the booking into your diary. You choose whether bookings confirm instantly or wait for your approval.

What about colour consultations?

You stay in control: the agent can ask for a photo of the client's hair, give your "from" price, and book the appointment as a request that you confirm after seeing the photos. Nothing is promised until you approve it.

Will it cut down my no-shows?

Yes, automatic WhatsApp reminders go out before every appointment, and clients can reschedule in the chat instead of just not arriving. Salons typically see no-shows drop once reminders are consistent.

Does it work for a salon with more than one stylist?

Yes, each stylist has their own calendar and working hours, and the agent offers slots per stylist when a client asks for someone specific.

How much does it cost for a salon?

Lunchbox starts at R997 per month with the full AI receptionist, bookings, reminders and review requests on every plan.
