What it will actually cost
How much for long hair? Is toner extra? Does the price include a cut? Do you charge for a consultation?

💇How much, how long, and do I need a patch test.
Three questions, and a price list that says "from".
Salon pricing depends on length, thickness and what was done last time, which is exactly why people ask before booking. AidEcho answers from your own price list and treatment pages, explains why a range exists, and passes anything needing a consultation to your team.
An AI chatbot for a salon or spa is an assistant that reads your price list, treatment pages and booking policies, then answers the cost, duration, patch-test and deposit questions people ask before booking. It cites the page behind every answer and passes the booking to your team.
01 / The real inbox
Fifteen questions, and the price list only says "from".
Every salon price depends on hair, and every client knows it. These are the questions that turn a "from" price into a booking.
How long it takes
How long is a full head? Can I do colour and cut in one visit? Is there a lunchtime option?
Patch tests and safety
Do I need a patch test? How far ahead? What if I am pregnant? Can you work on bleached hair?
Booking and deposits
Is there a deposit? What is the cancellation policy? Can I request a particular stylist?
02 / Start to finish
One client, and a colour history that needs a person.
What would you charge to take me from box dye black to ash blonde?
A colour correction is quoted after a consultation rather than from the price list, because it depends on how the previous colour lifts. Consultations are free and take about twenty minutes.
Source: /treatments/colour-correctionRoughly what do those usually come to?
The page gives a range of 250 to 600 pounds and says most take two or three sessions. Where you land depends on how many box dyes are on the hair.

That is exactly the case a stylist needs to see before quoting, so I am not going to guess a figure. Let me pass you over with what you have told me.

Hi, Chloe here. Three box dyes usually means staging it over two visits. Bring a photo of your natural root and I will map it out.
03 / What it changes
Explaining a "from" price before it costs you the booking.
A price range without an explanation reads as evasive, and clients ring the salon that explained it instead. Answering why the range exists is what converts.
- Explains Why a price is a range, at the moment somebody is comparing you with two others.
- Protects Your stylists, by refusing to quote a correction that needs to be seen.
- Reduces No-shows, by putting the deposit and cancellation policy in front of people before they book.
Do I need a patch test if I came last year?
Yes if it has been more than six months since your last colour with us. It takes two minutes and needs to be at least 48 hours before the appointment.

Answers, before you ask.
What is an AI chatbot for a salon?
An assistant that reads your price list, treatment pages and booking policies, then answers the cost, duration, patch-test and deposit questions people ask before booking, citing the page each answer came from.
Can it quote a price for colour?
It quotes what your price list publishes, including ranges and the surcharge for long or thick hair. Anything that needs a stylist to see the hair, like a colour correction, it declines to guess at and passes to your team.
Can it take the booking and the deposit?
It explains the policy and captures the enquiry with the whole conversation, then passes it to your team. Taking payment and holding the slot stays in your own booking system.
Will it remind people about patch tests?
It answers your published patch-test policy whenever colour comes up, which is usually the point people find out they need one, rather than the day before.
